ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES

• Lead the design of factory level mechanical and cooling architectures, leveraging hyperscale data center design principles to define scalable, resilient infrastructure for Jabil manufacturing facilities
• Design and integrate air cooled and water cooled chiller plants, dry coolers, heat rejection systems, and associated hydronic distribution networks.
• Define cooling plant performance requirements including capacity, redundancy (N, N+1, 2N), efficiency, availability, and scalability.
• Partner with electrical, controls, and operations teams to ensure cooling systems meet availability, resilience, and operational excellence targets.
• Act as a subject matter expert for single phase and two phase liquid cooling technologies used in hyperscale data centers.
• Architect and integrate rack level, row level, and facility based liquid cooling systems, including CDUs, manifolds, and heat exchangers.
• Define operational requirements for LC infrastructure, including pressure ratings, temperature envelopes, flow uniformity, materials compatibility, and long term durability.
• Ensure seamless thermal and mechanical integration between facility cooling plants and high density IT liquid cooling loops.
• Review and approve mechanical designs, CAD models, and technical data packages for compliance with system level requirements.
• Own component selection for piping, valves, fittings, pumps, heat exchangers, and cooling equipment based on fluid type, pressure, temperature, corrosion resistance, and lifecycle cost.
• Develop and release Bills of Materials (BOMs) and manufacturing documentation for production and deployment.
• Ensure designs comply with applicable codes, standards, and best practices (ASME, ISO, applicable building and pressure vessel codes).
• Perform or oversee thermal, hydraulic, and mechanical analyses, including flow modeling, pressure drop, and stress evaluation.
• Define and lead system level and component level testing, including leak testing, hydrostatic pressure testing, and performance validation.
• Evaluate test and field data to confirm conformance to thermo mechanical requirements and drive design improvements.
• Lead design for manufacturability (DFM) and design for assembly (DFA) efforts for liquid cooling hardware and assemblies.
• Optimize manufacturing and installation processes for large scale copper, stainless steel, and aluminum piping systems.
• Manage technical relationships with cooling equipment OEMs, contract manufacturers, and fabrication partners.
• Support deployment, commissioning, and early life issue resolution for data center cooling systems
• May perform other duties and responsibilities as assigned.
