About the role

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

  • Designed mechanical or HVAC systems for data centers or industrial plants.
  • Hydraulic and thermal calcs are yours, not the vendor's.
  • Specified and integrated major cooling equipment.
  • Validated designs against commissioning or test data.
  • Draw clean P&IDs and mean them.

Bonus

  • Liquid and direct-to-chip cooling.
  • Revit or plant CAD.
  • ASHRAE datacom depth.
  • Field commissioning exposure.
