Mechanical Engineer

Team Red Dog is seeking a Mechanical Engineer to support a global technology leader through a critical Alarm Management Program focused on improving the quality reliability and usability of mechanical system alarms across mission-critical datacenter environments. This fully remote role (West Coast hours) is ideal for a mechanical engineer with hands-on alarm management experience who wants to make a measurable global operational impact.

Top Required Skills (Must Haves):

1. Alarm management experience (23 years) including alarm rationalization alarm flood analysis and standing alarm reduction efforts within industrial or mission-critical environments.
2. Mechanical engineering expertise (57 years) applied to cooling plants pumps valves heat exchangers generators and ventilation systems with focus on alarm behavior and system operability.
3. Alarm tuning and optimization skills including alarm setpoints delays deadbands suppression/shelving and state-based alarming aligned with recognized alarm management standards.
4. Cross-functional collaboration skills working effectively with operations controls instrumentation vendors and engineering teams to implement sustainable alarm improvements.

Opportunity Overview:
This role supports a growing Alarm Management Program that is driving significant reductions in nuisance alarms across global datacenters. As the program matures this engineer will help scale proven alarm improvements regionally and globally directly improving operator effectiveness system reliability and operational safety. The work blends deep technical analysis with cross-team collaboration and offers exposure to large-scale standardized alarm management initiatives.

How you will make an impact:

• Design evaluate test and improve mechanical and thermal systems with a focus on alarm performance and operational usability.
• Review Alarm Flood IcMs and recurring alarm trends to identify root causes and improvement opportunities.
• Analyze engineering drawings P&IDs and control sequences to identify nuisance alarm drivers.
• Ensure alarms represent true abnormal conditions and avoid normal transient operating states.
• Perform alarm rationalization setpoint and limit reviews delay and deadband tuning and suppression strategies.
• Simulate and validate alarm behavior during normal abnormal and transition operating states.
• Partner with mechanical electrical controls operations and vendor teams to reduce alarm volume and alarm floods.
• Support incident remediation by identifying contributing mechanical and control system factors.
• Evaluate whether site-level alarm improvements are candidates for broader global deployment.

The expertise you bring:

• Bachelors degree in mechanical engineering or a related field.
• 57 years of professional mechanical engineering experience.
• Direct participation in a formal Alarm Management Program.
• Experience in datacenters power generation Oil & Gas nuclear chemical or manufacturing environments.
• Ability to perform detailed engineering calculations related to flow pressure temperature heat transfer and equipment sizing.
• Working knowledge of BAS platforms instrumentation sensors and control loops influencing alarm behavior.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills for explaining alarm behavior and recommending improvements.

What makes a candidate highly successful in this role:
Successful candidates bring practical hands-on alarm management experience and can clearly articulate how alarm setpoints delays deadbands and suppression logic were engineered and improved. They are comfortable working across disciplines translating technical findings into actionable changes and balancing safety reliability and operational efficiency. Experience participating in alarm rationalization sessions and driving measurable alarm reductions is a strong differentiator.
