Mechanical Design Engineer

Nebius B.V.; Deutschland; Remote; EUR 159.000 - 194.000; Vollzeit

Zusammenfassung

Nebius is seeking a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the design, review, and technical development of mechanical systems for data centers across the US portfolio. This role involves independent work, reviewing third-party designs, and coordinating with electrical, construction, commissioning, and operations teams.

You will assess air-cooled and liquid-cooled architectures, ensure designs meet density and reliability targets, and help drive scalable, maintainable data center environments.

Qualifikationen

• Experience designing mechanical systems for data centers.
• Ability to interpret contracts and technical standards.
• Strong communication with internal and external teams.
• Experience with hyperscale or GPU infrastructure is a plus.

Aufgaben

• Review mechanical design packages for data center projects, including internal concepts and third-party partner designs.
• Support mechanical design development for high-density data center environments.
• Evaluate mechanical design options for air-cooled and liquid-cooled data center architectures.
• Coordinate closely with electrical design, construction, commissioning, and operations stakeholders.
• Review designs for maintainability, operational resilience, capacity, and Nebius standards.
• Help assess technical tradeoffs, alternative solutions, product options, and design risks.
• Support design reviews tied to power density, airflow, cooling capacity, and operational readiness.

Jobbeschreibung

Nebius is building next-generation data center infrastructure across the United States to support high-density, GPU-driven workloads. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will support the design, review, and technical development of mechanical systems for data centers across the US portfolio. This role is ideal for a mechanical engineer who can take broad ownership across data center mechanical design, evaluate technical options, and work closely with electrical, construction, commissioning, and operations teams. The right candidate can operate independently, review third-party designs, and help Nebius build scalable, maintainable, high-density data center environments. Location: Remote, US

Responsibilities

• Review mechanical design packages for data center projects, including internal concepts and third-party partner designs.
• Support mechanical design development for high-density data center environments.
• Evaluate mechanical design options for air-cooled and liquid-cooled data center architectures.
• Coordinate closely with electrical design, construction, commissioning, and operations stakeholders.
• Review designs for maintainability, operational resilience, capacity, and alignment with Nebius standards.
• Help assess technical tradeoffs, alternative solutions, product options, and design risks.
• Support design reviews tied to power density, airflow, cooling capacity, and operational readiness.

Requirements

• Data center mechanical design experience.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems in mission-critical or data center environments.
• Experience with air-cooled data center design.
• Ability to evaluate mechanical capacity, flows, and design assumptions.
• Ability to review design documents, technical proposals, and partner deliverables.
• Ability to read and interpret contracts, design requirements, and technical standards.
• Strong communication skills with internal stakeholders, external design partners, and construction teams.
• Broad engineering ownership mindset; able to manage the full mechanical design scope rather than only a narrow specialty.
• Nice to Have Experience with liquid-cooled data center technologies.
• Experience with hyperscale, neocloud, GPU, or AI infrastructure data centers.
• Experience at companies such as Lambda, CoreWeave, hyperscalers, colocation providers, or mission-critical engineering firms.
• Familiarity with high-density rack environments, including 50kW to 200kW per rack.
• Experience supporting design reviews through commissioning or operational turnover.

Pay Transparency

We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Actual compensation will be determined based on job-related factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, the level at which the candidate is hired, and geographic location, consistent with applicable law.
