Mechanical Engineer, Deployment Engineering

Our client is delivering AI compute capacity at unprecedented pace. Their deployment engineering team is where the design survives contact with a live construction schedule and becomes a real, running site.

This role closes the gap between engineering-complete and operations-ready: you commission it, you prove it, and you hand over infrastructure that runs correctly from day one.

• Deploy and commission cooling and mechanical systems at data center sites — equipment startup, functional testing, performance verification and acceptance testing through to live handover.
• Support operational reliability of deployed cooling infrastructure, responding to thermal events and equipment failures on live sites and implementing fixes that prevent recurrence.
• Resolve field conflicts between installation conditions and mechanical system requirements during commissioning, keeping deployments on schedule.
• Monitor and validate thermal performance under live AI compute load, flagging degradation and driving corrective action before it affects availability.
• Contribute to mechanical commissioning checklists, startup procedures and maintenance run books that improve consistency across future deployments.

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• You've supported or led mechanical commissioning on data centers or high-density facilities, with hands-on accountability through equipment startup and live acceptance.
• You can identify installation errors, diagnose performance shortfalls and support corrective action on chilled water, CDU or direct liquid cooling systems.
• You've worked effectively alongside contractors and commissioning agents on active sites while holding the line on quality.
• You can travel to deployment and operations sites up to 50% of the time.

• PE license or active pursuit of licensure.
• Direct liquid cooling or CDU commissioning at AI-class rack densities.
• Thermal monitoring systems, CMMS platforms, predictive maintenance and CFD troubleshooting tools.
