Mechanical Technical Sales Manager (Data Center SME)

Position Overview:

Vertiv is seeking a Data Center Mechanical Subject Matter Expert (SME) to

provide expert-level guidance in the design, deployment, and optimization of

mechanical systems for data centers. The SME will play a key role in ensuring

the reliability, efficiency, and scalability of HVAC, cooling, and other

mechanical infrastructure, aligning with Vertiv’s mission to deliver

mission-critical infrastructure solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

1. Mechanical Systems Design & Optimization:

* Lead the design of HVAC, cooling, and ventilation systems for data center

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.
