Mechanical Engineer, Deployment Engineering

Responsibilities

• Deploy and commission cooling and mechanical systems at data center sites, running equipment startup, functional testing, performance verification, and acceptance testing through to live handover.
• Support operational reliability of deployed cooling infrastructure, responding to thermal events and equipment failures on live sites and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence.
• Resolve field conflicts between installation conditions and mechanical system requirements during commissioning, keeping deployments on schedule.
• Monitor and validate thermal performance of cooling systems under live AI compute load, flagging degradation and driving corrective action before it affects availability.
• Contribute to mechanical commissioning checklists, startup procedures, and maintenance run books that improve consistency across future deployments.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• Supported or led mechanical commissioning on data centers or high-density facilities, with hands-on accountability through equipment startup and live acceptance.
• Ability to identify installation errors, diagnose performance shortfalls, and support corrective action on chilled water, CDU, or direct liquid cooling systems at the operational level.
• Worked effectively alongside contractors and commissioning agents on active sites while holding the line on quality.
• Ability to travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50 percent of the time.

Nice-to-Haves

• Professional Engineer (PE) license, or active pursuit of licensure.
• Direct liquid cooling or CDU commissioning and operational experience at AI-class rack densities.
• Familiarity with thermal monitoring systems, CMMS platforms, and predictive maintenance practices.
• Proficiency in CFD tools used for operational troubleshooting and thermal validation.
