Our thirst for technology is a part of everything we do. The Data Center Engineering team takes the physical design of our data centers into the future. Our lab mirrors a research and development department – cutting‑edge strategies are born, tested and tested again. Along with a team of great minds, you take on complex topics like how we use power or how to run state‑of‑the‑art, environmentally‑friendly facilities. You’re a visionary who optimizes for efficiencies and never stops seeking improvements – even small changes that can make a huge impact. You generate ideas, communicate recommendations to senior‑level executives and drive implementation alongside facilities technicians.

With your technical expertise, you ensure compliance with codes and standards, develop infrastructure improvements and serve as an expert in your specialty (e.g., cooling, electrical).

As a Senior Data Center Mechanical Engineer, you will own and design to the entire product design life‑cycle including requirements gathering, concept generation, detailed design with analysis, verification testing, cross‑functional reviews, and manufacturing release. You will develop and execute designs for complex systems backed by thorough engineering analysis.

• 
  
• Define data center system‑level, product architecture, and research and development, while helping to develop operations and maintenance procedures for systems/processes.
  
• Conduct engineering analysis and research designs and methods of data center equipment and facilities.
  
• Ensure designs and installations meet requirements (e.g., predicted cooling, structural, operational concerns, etc.).
  
• Troubleshoot, root cause, and resolve potential technical challenges.
  
• Influence and shape future products by providing mechanical and structural engineering expertise into the technology roadmap with data‑driven decisions.
