facilities, ensuring alignment with Vertiv standards and industry best
practices.
* Develop comprehensive mechanical schematics, equipment layouts, and
airflow diagrams using AutoCAD, Revit, or similar tools.
* Integrate Vertiv products such as Liebert cooling systems into scalable
data center designs.
* Coordinate with cross-functional teams, including electrical, structural,
and network engineers, to ensure cohesive project delivery.
2. Performance Analysis & Optimization:
* Conduct thermal load calculations, airflow analysis, and capacity
assessments to optimize mechanical system performance.
* Implement data-driven strategies to enhance cooling efficiency and
minimize energy consumption.
3. Compliance & Standards:
* Ensure all mechanical systems comply with ASHRAE, NFPA, and other relevant
standards, as well as Vertiv’s internal guidelines.
* Conduct regular audits, inspections, and commissioning tests to verify
system performance and compliance.
4. Risk Management & Contingency Planning:
* Identify potential mechanical system risks, including thermal overload,
airflow inefficiencies, and equipment failures.
* Develop contingency plans and emergency response protocols to mitigate
risks and maintain uptime.
5. Documentation & Reporting:
* Maintain detailed documentation, including design specifications, as-built
drawings, and maintenance manuals.
* Generate technical reports and recommendations for system upgrades,
retrofits, and optimization projects.
6. Training & Mentorship:
* Provide training to engineering teams on Vertiv’s mechanical systems,
focusing on best practices for design, operation, and maintenance.
* Mentor junior engineers, fostering a culture of technical excellence and
continuous learning.
Qualifications and Requirements:
* Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or a related discipline; Master’s
preferred.
* 8+ years of experience in mechanical design and operations within data center
environments.
* In-depth knowledge of Vertiv cooling products (e.g., Liebert CRAC/CRAH units,
chilled water systems) and their integration in data centers.
* Proficiency in HVAC design and analysis software (e.g., AutoCAD, Revit, Trane
TRACE, Carrier HAP).
* Relevant certifications such as PE, CDCP, or Vertiv product-specific training
(e.g., Liebert cooling systems) are highly desirable.
* Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a focus on optimizing
thermal performance and energy efficiency.
* Excellent communication skills, with the ability to convey complex mechanical
concepts to diverse stakeholders.
