The ideal candidate has hands-on experience with mission-critical facilities and understands the mechanical requirements associated with high-density AI/GPU infrastructure. A licensed Professional Engineer (PE) in Mechanical Engineering is strongly preferred.
The Mechanical Engineer will work closely with internal product, electrical, engineering, project management, manufacturing, construction, and operations teams, as well as external engineering firms, contractors, equipment manufacturers, and customers.
Work Location
Hayward, CA; Houston, TX; or Manassas, VA
Full-Time - Approximately 15-25% travel as required by projects
Key Responsibilities
Lead mechanical engineering activities for high-density data center infrastructure
Develop and review mechanical designs, drawings, specifications, calculations, equipment schedules, and engineering documentation
Design and validate cooling solutions for traditional and high-density AI/GPU data center environments
Support direct-to-chip liquid cooling, CDUs, secondary cooling loops, RDHx, CRAH/CRAC systems, chillers, pumps, heat exchangers, and associated piping systems
Perform cooling load, equipment sizing, pressure-drop, pump sizing, flow, and system capacity calculations
Develop mechanical system concepts for chilled-water and liquid-cooling distribution architectures
Review piping layouts, valve arrangements, equipment placement, connection points, redundancy, maintainability, and service clearances
Coordinate mechanical designs with electrical, structural, architectural, controls/BMS, fire protection, and IT infrastructure
Support mechanical integration between prefabricated/modular equipment and site infrastructure
Develop and review mechanical site plans, equipment layouts, piping routes, connection requirements, and installation details
Review vendor and manufacturer drawings, submittals, technical specifications, and equipment selections
Participate in 30%, 60%, 90%, IFC, and construction drawing reviews
Identify design conflicts, constructability issues, capacity constraints, and technical risks before construction
Support development of Bills of Materials (BOMs), equipment specifications, scopes of work, and technical procurement packages
Work with suppliers and contract manufacturers to ensure equipment and assemblies meet engineering requirements
Review contractor RFIs, submittals, change orders, and field modifications
Conduct site visits and field inspections to verify installation quality and conformance with design requirements
Ensure designs comply with applicable U.S. building codes, mechanical codes, energy codes, ASHRAE guidance, customer requirements, and industry best practices
