This position plays a key role in developing reliable, efficient, and scalable solutions spanning power, cooling, and distribution systems that enable long-term growth and operational excellence.
The ideal candidate brings hands-on experience with data center or other critical facilities, strong technical fundamentals in either mechanical or electrical engineering, and the ability to collaborate effectively across design, construction, and operations teams. A Professional Engineer (P.E.) license is preferred.
This position is based in Dallas, TX, with a hybrid expectation of four days per week in the office.
Key ResponsibilitiesDesign & Technical Execution- Develop, review, and coordinate detailed designs for power, cooling, and infrastructure systems, including electrical distribution (UPS, switchgear, PDUs) and mechanical systems (chilled water, economization, liquid cooling).
- Ensure system designs meet company standards for efficiency, reliability, and maintainability.
- Participate in design reviews and technical evaluations for new builds, retrofits, and expansions.
- Support load calculations, one-line diagrams, airflow and energy models, and performance validation.
Project Coordination & Delivery- Collaborate with internal stakeholders, consultants, and contractors through design, procurement, and commissioning.
- Evaluate constructability and sequencing to ensure projects are delivered on time and within budget.
- Review submittals, RFIs, and field installations to ensure compliance with design intent.
System Optimization & Analysis- Perform root-cause and trend analysis on system performance to drive continuous improvement.
- Identify efficiency opportunities across power and cooling systems to reduce PUE and lifecycle cost.
- Support standardization of engineering templates, specifications, and quality-assurance processes.
Cross-Functional Collaboration- Partner with Construction, Operations, Controls, and Capacity Planning teams to ensure seamless handoffs from design through operations.
- Communicate complex technical topics clearly to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
- Provide mentorship and guidance to junior engineers and interns.
Required Skills & ExperienceEducation- Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or related Engineering discipline.
- Professional Engineer (P.E.) license preferred.
Experience- 6-10 years of engineering experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, or related infrastructure environments.
- Demonstrated proficiency in design fundamentals for power and/or mechanical systems, including redundancy (N+1, 2N) and reliability principles.
- Familiarity with key codes and standards (ASHRAE, NFPA 70E, NEC, IEEE, local building/mechanical codes).
- Experience with design and modeling tools (AutoCAD, Revit, CFD, or electrical load modeling software).
Skills- Strong analytical, organizational, and problem-solving skills.
- Financial and technical acumen to balance performance, cost, and maintainability.
- Effective communicator capable of leading technical discussions and resolving design challenges.
- Collaborative mindset and ability to work cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
