We're looking for an experienced Mechanical or Thermal Engineer to join our team on a short-term contract focused on designing and validating a dedicated cooling system for datacenter racks. This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll own technical analysis, drive design recommendations, and work directly with our engineering team to deliver a tested, production-ready solution.
This is the right role for someone who thrives in environments where the specifications aren't always handed to you — someone who can assess the situation, gather data, and bring a confident recommendation forward.
