Full Job Description
Role Scope
  • Engineer the mechanical systems in the reference design: cooling distribution, piping, and heat rejection for modular units.
  • Run the calcs: hydraulics, heat transfer, and equipment sizing owned end to end.
  • Develop vendor packages: CDUs, pumps, and dry coolers specified, evaluated, and integrated.
  • Support prototypes and first builds: test data reconciled against design.
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 designed mechanical or HVAC systems for data centers or industrial plants.
  • Your hydraulic and thermal calcs are yours, not the vendor's.
  • You've specified and integrated major cooling equipment.
  • You've validated designs against commissioning or test data.
  • You draw clean P&IDs and mean them.
  • Bonus: Liquid and direct-to-chip cooling. Revit or plant CAD. ASHRAE datacom depth. Field commissioning exposure.


We are committed to pay equity and transparency.
