TL;DR · Senior MEP Engineer, Datacenter Lab Infrastructure

Senior MEP Engineer – Datacenter Lab Infrastructure will join the product engineering team to plan and implement lab infrastructure for next-generation datacenter products. This role involves managing the full lifecycle of infrastructure, from design and specification through construction and commissioning. Key responsibilities include designing power distribution systems like UPS, PDUs, and switchgear, as well as cooling solutions including liquid cooling distribution, chilled water, and precision air systems. The position also focuses on telemetry and control architectures involving sensor networks, DCIM platforms, and BMS for real-time monitoring. Candidates must possess expertise in high-density compute configurations and experience with tools like CFD modeling. Technical requirements include knowledge of ASHRAE A2 guidelines, NEC, BICSI, and TIA-942 standards. The role addresses the technical challenge of scaling infrastructure to meet evolving power density and thermal load demands for accelerated computing platforms.

What you'll do

  • Design and implement datacenter-grade power and cooling infrastructure including UPS systems, PDUs, and liquid cooling distribution.
  • Develop telemetry and control system architectures using sensor networks, DCIM platforms, and BMS for real-time monitoring.
  • Plan and build showcase-ready rack configurations that meet both functional requirements and aesthetic standards.
  • Scale infrastructure to accommodate evolving power density and thermal loads from next-generation computing platforms.
  • Translate product and thermal engineering requirements into actionable infrastructure designs for lab validation.
  • Manage the full lifecycle of MEP projects including planning, procurement, construction, and commissioning.
  • Provide technical guidance to contractors and vendors during the construction and implementation phases.

What we're looking for

  • BS degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field (or equivalent experience).
  • 8+ years of relevant MEP engineering experience.
  • At least 5 years of experience focused on datacenter or critical facility infrastructure.
  • Hands-on experience with cooling systems including direct liquid cooling, chilled water, and precision air cooling.
  • Strong understanding of telemetry, control systems, and DCIM/BMS platforms for monitoring critical infrastructure.
  • Knowledge of datacenter power systems including electrical distribution, UPS, generators, and power metering.
  • Demonstrated experience working with A/E firms, general contractors, and equipment vendors.
  • Excellent communication skills and a proven record of teamwork across multi-functional teams.
