Mechanical Engineer

Giga Energy Solutions India; Bengaluru, Vadodara; On-site; INR 1,500,000 - 2,100,000; Full time

Job summary

Giga Energy Solutions India seeks a senior Mechanical Engineer to develop and maintain the mechanical POR for its data centers, defining a gold-standard design geared toward scalable manufacturing and reliability.

You will author the internal engineering library, specify standards, and guide external firms to localize designs while preserving core performance intent for energy-efficient environments.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 7+ years of mechanical engineering experience with focus on mission-critical or industrial facilities.
• Deep working knowledge of ASHRAE TC 9.9 (Thermal Guidelines for Data Processing Environments).
• Familiarity with ASME B31.3/B31.9 (Process Piping) for liquid cooling loops.
• Strong background in CFD analysis using tools like 6Sigma or Ansys.
• Experience with pipe stress analysis software (Caesar II or AutoPIPE).
• Proficiency in Revit/AutoCAD for mechanical design.
• Experience with hydraulic modeling software (AFT Fathom or Pipe-Flo).
• Proven ability to create engineering standards from scratch.
• Strong understanding of high-density cooling solutions and thermal management.
• Experience specifying HVAC equipment including chillers, pumps, and cooling towers.
• Track record developing standardized designs for scalable deployment.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain the mechanical POR for Giga Data Centers, defining the 'Gold Standard' design that enables manufacturing of reliability and efficiency at scale.
• Author and own the internal engineering library including technical specifications and Basis of Design documents.
• Design to global and local standards, leveraging ASHRAE TC 9.9 to define environmental envelopes for AI hardware and ensuring compliance with ASHRAE 90.1 for energy efficiency.
• Guide external engineering firms to localize designs while maintaining strict adherence to core performance intent and standardization requirements.
• Validate airflow patterns and rack-level thermal performance using computational fluid dynamics, ensuring compliance with ASHRAE thermal guidelines for Class A1-A4 environments.
• Execute rigorous hydraulic analysis and thermal load flow studies, conducting pipe stress analysis per ASME B31 standards to ensure system integrity under thermal expansion and seismic events.
• Engineer complex cooling loops (Direct-to-Chip, Immersion, RDHx) aligned with OCP specifications for liquid cooling interoperability.
• Select and specify pumps, fans, chillers, dry coolers, and control valves for high-density compute environments.
• Create detailed BOMs, QTOs, and commissioning scripts to support a manufacturing-first supply chain.
• Develop Sequence of Operations and Control Narratives that dictate how mechanical systems respond to dynamic AI load changes.
• Use advanced simulation tools to optimize thermal performance and validate designs before manufacturing.
