Key Responsibilities
Mechanical Architecture & Strategy
- Architect and own the end-to-end mechanical systems roadmap for AI-scale compute environments.
- Define internal design standards, templates, and repeatable system patterns across all facilities to ensure uniformity, compliance, and operational excellence.
- Lead multi-disciplinary mechanical teams through design, construction, commissioning, and lifecycle operations.
- Establish design governance frameworks to ensure mechanical scalability and energy efficiency across global deployments.
Advanced Cooling & Thermal Innovation
- Develop and deploy next-generation cooling technologies such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling, immersion systems, and rear-door heat exchangers.
- Oversee thermal modeling, CFD analysis, and airflow optimization to maintain ideal performance at maximum density.
- Evaluate and pilot emerging technologies—phase-change cooling, AI-assisted thermal modeling, and novel heat-transfer materials—to push mechanical boundaries.
- Collaborate closely with electrical and controls teams to achieve fully integrated and adaptive thermal-power architectures.
Operations, Reliability & Continuous Improvement
- Direct mechanical system commissioning, testing, and handover to operations with measurable KPIs for uptime and efficiency.
- Implement predictive analytics and real-time monitoring platforms to enhance system visibility, reliability, and maintainability.
- Lead root-cause analysis of mechanical incidents and deploy resilience strategies that improve system availability and fault tolerance.
- Oversee vendor relationships, qualification standards, and long-term maintenance programs to sustain performance consistency.
Qualifications
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
- 12+ years of experience in data center, mission-critical, or energy-intensive environments.
- Deep expertise in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, HVAC, and advanced cooling technologies.
- Demonstrated leadership in hyperscale or GPU-accelerated mechanical system design.
- Strong background in CFD modeling, system optimization, and operational analytics.
- Proven ability to guide multi-disciplinary engineering teams and collaborate across electrical, controls, and operations groups.
- Strong communicator capable of influencing both technical teams and executive leadership.
- Bonus: Experience in large-scale mechanical system expansion and high-density compute environments.
