About the role

• The Data Center Mechanical Engineer will be responsible for assisting and augmenting day-to-day capacity of the Mechanical Engineering team working on the client's large hyperscale data center construction program within the Global Data Center - Execution Engineering team! This includes design & localization of new hyperscale data centers and campuses, supporting operations staff with engineering solutions, and streamlining construction issues resolutions, as further detailed below:

What you’ll do

• Review and assist technical development of mechanical systems (both airside & waterside) for hyperscale data centers including campus planning, general layout/arrangements, CFD & noise modeling, climate data evaluations, hydraulic analyses, pipe sizing, bin hour analyses, etc.

• Oversee A/E design consultants and provide direction or amplification in accordance with established engineering standards.

• Peer review consultants’ deliverables including drawing sets, specifications, sequence of operations, calculations, models, etc. and provide comments & resolutions

• Review and provide recommendations on potential value engineering opportunities

• Analyze for redundancies, failure modes, and Single Points Of Failure (SPOFs) while working with Reliability, Availability & Maintainability (RAM) modelers to verify conformance.

• Perform rapid conceptual sketches using CAD or BIM for visualization and spatial/dimensional validations for internal purposes only

• Experience with waterless cooling solutions (i.e.: air-cooled chillers, dry coolers, airside economizer/IDEC/DX, etc.) preferred

• Experience with EPA regulations and emissions after-treatment solutions for diesel generators preferred

• Assist and occasionally lead projects and solutioning of mechanical issues, outages, fleet-wide improvements and other needs arising from existing, operational YAWN campuses as ExE (Execution Engineering) representative in direct support of DCOps partners.

• Evaluate post-mortem reports, 8D/root cause analyses and presentations and make comments and recommendations.

• Assist in generating solution/upgrade/improvement options that have a fleet-wide impact to improve reliability and availability of critical operational infrastructure.

• Assist data analytics of operational trends (historian trend logs) to evaluate equipment health, remaining useful life and predictive failure models.

• Experience in hydroponics systems, water quality management and corrosion/fouling prevention is helpful

• Proficiency in fuel oil quality standards is helpful

• Work with partners in construction, design and change management to compile, prioritize/triage and process construction originated engineering issues (i.e.: Data Center Bounty program) for standard design/product improvements.

• Occasionally develop engineering bulletins and route through established procedures to ensure wide dissemination of design changes.

• Support in overall standard design improvement loops/processes between products, design, construction and operations.

• Visit construction sites or operational sites only if needed

• Operate client's internal “Buganizer” platform to file new bugs, work orders or close out

• Build presentations (or ‘presos’) using Google Slides software as the main ‘deliverable’ format to communicate findings, evaluations and options to internal collaborators.

What you’ll need

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering is required.

• Minimum of 5 years of demonstrated experience, with at least 2 years of experience in data center construction

• Familiarity with Google Workspace and its related products (Sheets, Docs, Slides).

• Experience and knowledge of working with cross-disciplinary teams, including structural, civil, IT/Telecom, security, mechanical, electrical, and architectural.

• Solid understanding of large-scale, data center mechanical infrastructure, including cooling and fire protection.

• Familiarity with mission critical infrastructure.

• Experience coordinating scope with multiple trades (architecture, telecom, electrical, plumbing, mechanical, and structural)

• Must be able to work independently remotely, but also willing to travel to construction sites with little or no supervision.

• Experience with data center projects inside and outside of the US is strongly preferred.
