Qualifications & Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering (or related field).
• 5+ years of experience in data center, lab, or mission-critical facility design and build-out.
• Strong experience in water-cooled IT infrastructure, chilled-water piping, and plumbing for liquid-cooled racks.
• Expertise in power distribution, high-density rack power (1MW+ installations), and PDU design.
• Familiarity with roof-mounted chillers, cooling loops, and heat exchanger systems.
• Experience working in multi-tenant buildings with complex infrastructure requirements.
• Proficiency in MEP design tools (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar).
• Knowledge of building codes, NEC, NFPA, ASHRAE 90.4, and TIA-942 standards.
• Strong problem-solving, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Experience with SCADA, BMS, and DCIM monitoring platforms.
• Certification in Data Center Design (CDCDP, DCEP, or Uptime Institute ATD).
• Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and microgrid integration.
