• Design and implement power distribution for a 1MW data center/lab build-out.
• Develop high-power rack distribution strategies for IT loads, ensuring redundancy and efficiency.
• Work with 480V and 415V 3-phase power, PDUs, UPS systems, and backup generators.
• Define circuit layouts, power provisioning plans, and load calculations for high-density IT racks.
• Ensure compliance with local electrical codes (NEC, NFPA, IEEE, UL standards, etc.).Cooling & HVAC Systems:
• Lead the design, installation, and integration of a roof-mounted chiller system.
• Optimize airflow management, containment, and heat rejection strategies.
• Work with pumps, cooling loops, and heat exchangers to maximize cooling efficiency.
• Develop and oversee liquid-cooling solutions for water-cooled racks.Plumbing & Water Cooling Distribution:
• Design and manage the chilled-water distribution system for water-cooled IT racks.
• Work with contractors and vendors to install piping, valves, and pumps for liquid cooling.
• Ensure proper flow rate calculations, pressure balancing, and redundancy in the cooling loop.
• Oversee connections to rooftop chillers, heat exchangers, and cooling distribution units (CDUs).
• Develop maintenance and emergency procedures for the liquid cooling infrastructure.Project & Construction Oversight:
• Review MEP designs, construction drawings, and specifications.

• Ensure compliance with ASHRAE, IEEE, and TIA-942 standards for data centers.
Qualifications & Experience:
• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Industrial Engineering (or related field).
• 5+ years of experience in data center, lab, or mission-critical facility design and build-out.
• Strong experience in water-cooled IT infrastructure, chilled-water piping, and plumbing for liquid-cooled racks.
• Expertise in power distribution, high-density rack power (1MW+ installations), and PDU design.
• Familiarity with roof-mounted chillers, cooling loops, and heat exchanger systems.
• Experience working in multi-tenant buildings with complex infrastructure requirements.
• Proficiency in MEP design tools (AutoCAD, Revit, or similar).
• Knowledge of building codes, NEC, NFPA, ASHRAE 90.4, and TIA-942 standards.
• Strong problem-solving, project management, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
Preferred Qualifications:
• Professional Engineer (PE) license in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.
• Experience with SCADA, BMS, and DCIM monitoring platforms.
• Certification in Data Center Design (CDCDP, DCEP, or Uptime Institute ATD).
• Experience with battery energy storage systems (BESS) and microgrid integration.
