Mechanical Engineer (Physical Infrastructure)

Responsibilities

• Design and optimize mechanical systems for high-density AI data centers, including liquid cooling loops, cold plates, manifolds, heat exchangers, server enclosures, structural supports, and facility HVAC systems.
• Perform detailed engineering analysis — thermal, fluid dynamics, structural, airflow, and heat transfer — using CFD, FEA, and other simulation tools.
• Develop specifications, 3D models, drawings, BOMs, and test plans; support prototyping, qualification, and iterative improvements.
• Integrate mechanical systems with power generation, electrical infrastructure, liquid cooling, and building MEP systems.
• Conduct failure mode analysis (FMEA), root cause investigations, and reliability modeling to meet extreme uptime and efficiency targets.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams on new facility designs, cluster expansions, and continuous improvement of mechanical standards.
• Interface with vendors and contractors for equipment selection, fabrication, installation, and commissioning.
• Drive design decisions that balance performance, manufacturability, cost, and scalability.

Basic Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or other engineering discipline
