About The Position

At TensorWave, we’re leading the charge in AI compute, building a versatile cloud platform that’s driving the next generation of AI innovation. We’re focused on creating a foundation that empowers cutting-edge advancements in intelligent computing, pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in the AI landscape. We are seeking a highly skilled Data Center Build Engineer with specialized expertise in liquid cooling systems to lead the deployment of next-generation cooling infrastructure in high-density data center environments. This role is critical to supporting the installation and commissioning of advanced cooling technologies—including direct-to-chip (D2C), and rear-door heat exchanger systems—designed to meet the thermal demands of AI workloads. As a Liquid Cooling Build Engineer, you will work cross-functionally with mechanical designers, construction managers, vendors, and operations teams to ensure liquid cooling infrastructure is safely, efficiently, and precisely implemented. You will play a key role in bridging design intent with real-world installation practices, driving innovation in energy efficiency and thermal management.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent field experience).
• 5+ years of experience in data center builds, with at least 2 years focused on liquid or advanced cooling technologies.
• Strong understanding of mechanical systems design, fluid dynamics, and thermal management in mission-critical environments.
• Hands-on experience deploying liquid cooling infrastructure (e.g., CDUs, cold plates, rear-door heat exchangers).
• Familiarity with relevant standards (ASHRAE TC9.9, Uptime Institute) and environmental health/safety best practices.
• Proficiency with construction coordination tools (AutoCAD, Revit, Bluebeam) and mechanical layout interpretation.
• Excellent communication, problem-solving, and on-site coordination skills.

Responsibilities

• Lead the deployment of liquid cooling systems during data center build-outs and expansions, including D2C loops, cold plate systems, CDUs, and immersion tanks.
• Oversee installation of mechanical piping, manifolds, hose assemblies, quick disconnects, and supporting infrastructure.
• Interpret and implement liquid cooling design documents, ensuring alignment with mechanical, electrical, and IT infrastructure.
• Work closely with vendors and contractors to manage the delivery, installation, and integration of cooling equipment.
• Participate in factory and site acceptance testing (FAT/SAT), commissioning, and thermal performance validation.
• Ensure adherence to safety standards, leak prevention protocols, and best practices for handling coolants and fluid management.
• Support change management, field engineering adjustments, and feedback to design for continuous improvement.
• Coordinate with operations to ensure successful handoff and documentation of installed systems.
