Job summary

Lambda, The Superintelligence Cloud, seeks a seasoned Mechanical Field Engineer to own mechanical systems from construction through commissioning at data-center sites in the United States. You will verify installations, lead start-up planning, and witness tests while traveling to active sites.

Expect to mentor teams, address field risks, and ensure robust cooling and safety controls as GPU infrastructure comes online.

Qualifications

• Bachelor degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent practical experience.
• Significant experience delivering, commissioning, or operating mechanical systems in data centers or mission-critical facilities.
• Ability to read P&IDs, equipment submittals, mechanical layouts, control sequences, test reports, and construction documentation.

Responsibilities

• Serve as mechanical field owner from construction through commissioning.
• Verify installed systems against designs, P&IDs, specs, submittals, and Lambda standards.
• Validate equipment installation, piping, supports, valves, instrumentation, insulation, maintenance access, system labeling, and flow direction.
• Confirm redundancy, isolation boundaries, failure domains, bypasses, drains, vents, and maintenance provisions function as designed.
• Inspect central plants, chillers, cooling towers, dry coolers, pumps, heat exchangers, CRAHs, CDUs, liquid-cooling loops, and water systems.
• Review pressure-test, flushing, cleaning, filtration, water-treatment, balancing, and startup results.
• Identify installation deficiencies, design conflicts, and operational risks; document punch-list items and drive closure.
• Witness factory acceptance testing, site acceptance testing, functional performance testing, and integrated systems testing.
• Develop and review startup plans, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, commissioning scripts, and mechanical safety controls.
• Troubleshoot flow, pressure, temperature, air-removal, fouling, water-quality, equipment, and controls issues during system bring-up.
• Confirm cooling capacity, water quality, control stability, redundancy, and monitoring are ready before GPU infrastructure is placed under load.
• Coordinate with design engineers, general contractors, mechanical trades, equipment manufacturers, commissioning agents, operations, and HPC deployment teams.
• Validate as-built documentation, test reports, equipment settings, commissioning records, and turnover packages before handoff.
• Capture field lessons and incorporate into Lambda’s design standards, construction requirements, and site-validation playbooks.
• Mentor other engineers and provide senior technical leadership during high-risk startup and commissioning activities.
