Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Own the data center mechanical category: CDUs, chillers, pumps, dry coolers, and piping packages for liquid-cooled builds.
  • Negotiate supply agreements with mechanical OEMs covering price, lead time, and factory capacity across a multi-year pipeline.
  • Dual-source CDU and chiller platforms and drive the qualification work that makes the second source usable.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing and design so equipment specs freeze early enough to buy at the lead times the market gives.
What We're Looking For
  • The below is a starting point. We always make space for exceptional people, so if you don't fit this role exactly, tell us where you would.
  • You've sourced major mechanical equipment (chillers, CDUs, AHUs, pumps) for data center or industrial programs.
  • You've negotiated with mechanical OEMs on multi-year committed volumes.
  • You know liquid cooling equipment well enough to challenge a spec or a price with substance.
  • You've managed factory schedules and witness points so delivery dates held.
  • Bonus: Direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Modular skid packages. Factory acceptance testing. Refrigerant and coolant markets.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
