Mechanical Engineer

About the Role

Main job is to make sure all HVAC and mechanical systems are installed, tested, integrated, and proven to work reliably before the facility goes live.

Responsibilities

• Types of Mechanical Equipment in Data Centers:
• Chillers, cooling towers, or modular chiller plants
• CRAH/CRAC units (Computer Room Air Handlers/Conditioners)
• In-row coolers or rear-door heat exchangers
• Chilled water distribution systems (pumps, piping, valves)
• Condenser water systems
