Key Responsibilities:

1. Mechanical Systems Design & Optimization:
   • Lead the design of HVAC cooling and ventilation systems for data center facilities ensuring alignment with Vertiv standards and industry best practices.
   • Develop comprehensive mechanical schematics equipment layouts and airflow diagrams using AutoCAD Revit or similar tools.
   • Integrate Vertiv products such as Liebert cooling systems into scalable data center designs.
   • Coordinate with cross-functional teams including electrical structural and network engineers to ensure cohesive project delivery.
2. Performance Analysis & Optimization:
   • Conduct thermal load calculations airflow analysis and capacity assessments to optimize mechanical system performance.
   • Implement data-driven strategies to enhance cooling efficiency and minimize energy consumption.
3. Compliance & Standards:
   • Ensure all mechanical systems comply with ASHRAE NFPA and other relevant standards as well as Vertivs internal guidelines.
   • Conduct regular audits inspections and commissioning tests to verify system performance and compliance.
4. Risk Management & Contingency Planning:
   • Identify potential mechanical system risks including thermal overload airflow inefficiencies and equipment failures.
   • Develop contingency plans and emergency response protocols to mitigate risks and maintain uptime.
5. Documentation & Reporting:
   • Maintain detailed documentation including design specifications as-built drawings and maintenance manuals.
   • Generate technical reports and recommendations for system upgrades retrofits and optimization projects.
6. Training & Mentorship:
   • Provide training to engineering teams on Vertivs mechanical systems focusing on best practices for design operation and maintenance.
   • Mentor junior engineers fostering a culture of technical excellence and continuous learning.

Qualifications and Requirements:

• Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline; Masters preferred.
• 12 years of experience in mechanical design and operations within data center environments.
• In-depth knowledge of Vertiv cooling products (e.g. Liebert CRAC/CRAH units chilled water systems) and their integration in data centers.
• Proficiency in HVAC design and analysis software (e.g. AutoCAD Revit Trane TRACE Carrier HAP).
• Relevant certifications such as PE CDCP or Vertiv product-specific training (e.g. Liebert cooling systems) are highly desirable.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills with a focus on optimizing thermal performance and energy efficiency.
• Excellent communication skills with the ability to convey complex mechanical concepts to diverse stakeholders.
