What You'll Do

• Lead the end-to-end design, commissioning, operation, and continuous improvement of liquid cooling infrastructure, including direct liquid cooling, cold-plate assemblies, rear-door heat exchangers, and related systems

• Develop hydraulic models, heat-load calculations, and thermal simulations to validate cooling capacity for high-density rack deployments

• Define and maintain liquid cooling distribution architecture, including cooling distribution units, manifolds, secondary loops, leak detection, and integration with chilled water or adiabatic dry-cooler plants

• Oversee the design, commissioning, lifecycle management, and maintenance of critical mechanical systems, including chillers, cooling towers, dry coolers, CRAC and CRAH units, air handling units, and humidification systems

• Support the design, review, and commissioning of critical electrical infrastructure, including UPS systems, PDUs, switchgear, generators, transfer switches, and distribution boards

• Act as Owner’s Engineer for MEP capital projects, managing contractor designs, RFIs, submittals, change orders, schedules, costs, risks, and equipment acceptance testing

• Maintain critical-facility documentation, including MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, engineering standards, design guides, and commissioning records, while supporting change management and risk assessments

• Monitor infrastructure performance and capacity, drive efficiency improvements, support audits and compliance requirements, and report key availability, capacity, PUE, and WUE metrics to senior leadership
  

What You Bring

• 5+ years of hands-on data center MEP engineering experience in enterprise, hyperscale, or colocation environments; experience in financial services or other mission-critical environments is a plus

• Demonstrated experience designing and commissioning at least one liquid cooling technology, including direct liquid cooling, cold-plate, rear-door heat exchanger, or immersion cooling solutions

• Strong mechanical engineering knowledge of chilled water, glycol, and refrigerant-based cooling systems, including pump sizing, pipe stress, flow analysis, cooling distribution units, secondary-loop hydraulics, and leak detection

• Working knowledge of critical electrical systems, including UPS topology, generator sizing, switchgear, PDUs, single-line diagrams, and integrated systems testing

• Experience delivering MEP capital projects from design through commissioning and operational handoff

• Familiarity with ASHRAE TC 9.9 guidelines, Uptime Institute Tier methodology, EN 50600, NFPA 70, IEC 60364, and applicable building and electrical safety requirements

• Proficiency with CAD or BIM tools such as AutoCAD or Revit MEP and thermal-modeling tools such as 6SigmaDC, Future Facilities, or comparable platforms

• Strong documentation, project coordination, communication, and problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently across global sites and travel up to 30%
