Mechanical Engineer, R&D

POSITION SUMMARY:

How We Operate

• Extreme ownership. Full autonomy. Own things end to end often taking on scope outside your core role without being asked to get things done.

• Velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible.

• First principles. Challenge every assumption. Zero analogy thinking, no egos, the best idea wins.

• Love of the game. The frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

Role Scope

• Engineer the mechanical systems in the reference design: cooling distribution, piping, and heat rejection for modular units.

• Run the calcs: hydraulics, heat transfer, and equipment sizing owned end to end.

• Develop vendor packages: CDUs, pumps, and dry coolers specified, evaluated, and integrated.

• Support prototypes and first builds: test data reconciled against design.

What We're Looking For

• You've designed mechanical or HVAC systems for data centers or industrial plants.

• Your hydraulic and thermal calcs are yours, not the vendor's.

• You've specified and integrated major cooling equipment.

• You've validated designs against commissioning or test data.

• You draw clean P&IDs and mean them.

• Bonus: Liquid and direct-to-chip cooling. Revit or plant CAD. ASHRAE datacom depth. Field commissioning exposure.

Preferred Qualifications
" Professional Engineer (PE) license or Chartered Engineer credential.
" Direct experience with modular or prefabricated mechanical system design and off-site manufacturing coordination.
" Hands-on CFD experience (6SigmaET, Ansys Icepak, Flotherm) and proficiency with Revit/BIM workflows.
" Experience with medium-voltage (4.16 kV+) chiller applications and 800VDC power distribution architectures in data centers.
" Background in owner/developer-side roles with direct accountability for system performance and reliability.
" Familiarity with FM Global requirements for mechanical systems in mission-critical facilities
