Data Center Mechanical Engineer

About TensorWave

Our mission is simple: deliver seamless, secure, reliable, and resilient AI compute at scale. We've built a versatile cloud platform that eliminates infrastructure barriers, empowering builders to focus on innovation instead of fighting their stack. Because breakthrough AI should move at the speed of ideas, not infrastructure.

About the Role

We’re looking for a Data Center Mechanical Engineer to join our team during an exciting phase of growth. In this role, you’ll be responsible for leading the design, technical validation, and optimization of advanced thermal management systems, working closely with cross-functional partners to support business objectives while upholding our standards for excellence, collaboration, and impact.

What You’ll Do

• Lead the design review and technical validation of advanced thermal management systems for hyperscale data centers, with a specific focus on high-efficiency, liquid-first cooling topologies.
• Design and model cooling infrastructure—including chillers, cooling towers, pumps, heat exchangers, and distribution piping—to handle the extreme heat loads from AI compute hardware.
• Perform computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to optimize airflow and liquid flow within the data center, ensuring thermal containment and efficiency.
• Provide engineering guidance during the construction and commissioning process to ensure mechanical systems are installed and tuned for optimal performance (PUE/WUE).
• Ensure all designs comply with ASHRAE, local building codes, and corporate sustainability standards.
