Job Description

What You'll do

• Architecture and standards

  o Develop reference architectures and technical standards for mechanical systems: air cooling (CRAC/CRAH, air-side economization), liquid cooling (CDU, cold plates, rear-door heat exchangers), and adiabatic cooling.

  o Develop scalable designs for hyperscale and high-density/HPC AI workloads, including redundancy, and control strategies.

  o Drive adoption of industry best practices aligned with ASHRAE TC9.9, Uptime Institute, and applicable local codes.

• Efficiency and cost optimization

  o Set and deliver targets for PUE, and mechanical load reduction; optimize WUE and water risk where applicable.

  o Lead total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses, cost modeling, and energy/capacity planning to reduce both capex and opex.

  o Implement control sequences and optimization (BMS/SCADA/PLC) to minimize energy without sacrificing reliability or SLAs.

• Design, delivery, and operations

  o Provide technical leadership from concept through commissioning (L1–L5) and integrated systems testing (IST).

  o Lead global standard MEP designs, equipment selection, and CFD/thermal modeling; validate performance against design intent.

  o Partner with Data Center Operations on continuous improvement.

• Vendor and industry engagement

  o Build and manage strategic relationships with OEMs, integrators, and critical suppliers; lead RFI/RFPs and negotiate technical requirements.

  o Track industry trends and emerging technologies (e.g., advanced liquid cooling, controls, materials) and develop adoption roadmaps.

  What you’ll bring.

• 12+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or related discipline focused on data center cooling at scale.
• Proven delivery of large, mission-critical cooling projects (air, liquid, adiabatic) from design through operations.
• Deep hands-on knowledge of chillers, cooling towers/adiabatic units, pumps/valves, CDUs, CRAH/CRAC, economization, and advanced controls.
• Demonstrated improvements in PUE/mechanical load and measurable cost reductions across multiple sites or programs.
• Strong vendor/OEM network and experience driving RFx, technical evaluations, and contract requirements.
• Proficiency with CFD/thermal modeling tools, commissioning practices, and BMS/SCADA/PLC-based control strategies.
• Excellent communication skills: ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive decision-making through data.
