Job Description

Join a rapid-response engineering team focused on unblocking critical power and cooling issues that constrain AI data-center capacity delivery. This is an execution-oriented role for an engineer who can dive deeply into technical problems, coordinate across teams, and drive measurable closure.

The engineer will support high-priority sites from issue identification through validation of the final solution.

Responsibilities

• Investigate and resolve power and cooling constraints affecting data-center construction, commissioning, operations, and capacity delivery.
• Analyze electrical and mechanical drawings, single-line diagrams, equipment data, commissioning plans, site schedules, and operational data.
• Identify root causes, quantify capacity and schedule impact, develop recovery options, and drive actions to closure.
• Work directly with facilities, construction, commissioning, design, operations, procurement, vendors, and site teams.
• Support site walks, technical reviews, readiness assessments, and commissioning or integrated-systems-testing activities.
• Track critical dependencies, risks, decisions, and action owners; elevate early when a decision or resource is required.
• Validate that implemented solutions meet safety, quality, reliability, and capacity requirements.
• Produce concise written updates for leadership that clearly explain the issue, impact, recovery plan, and required decisions.
• Capture lessons learned and contribute to reusable playbooks, standards, and operating procedures.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in data centers, mission-critical facilities, industrial power, mechanical systems, construction, commissioning, or operations.
• Hands-on knowledge of critical power systems: generators, switchgear, UPS, PDUs, busway, and electrical distribution.
• Hands-on knowledge of cooling systems: chillers, cooling towers, pumps, CRAHs/CRACs, controls, and heat-rejection systems.
• Ability to interpret electrical/mechanical design documents and commissioning test procedures.
• Experience working through complex technical issues across multiple teams and external vendors.
• Strong problem-solving, prioritization, communication, and ownership skills.
• Willingness to travel to data-center sites as required.
• Bachelor’s degree in engineering or equivalent relevant experience; commissioning or mission-critical certifications are a plus.
