About The Position

CoolIT Systems is a leading Direct Liquid Cooling technology provider for data centers, supercomputers, and desktop computers, designing and manufacturing solutions used by the largest tech companies globally. Recognized for rapid growth and innovation, CoolIT is expanding due to the increasing demand for generative AI, high-performance computing, and cloud solutions. The Mechanical Engineer - Technical Cooling Loop is responsible for the detailed mechanical design, modeling, and documentation of TCL components and assemblies. This role translates defined architectures, requirements, and standards into build-ready designs and supports project delivery through iterations, documentation, and test readiness.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum of 5+ years of relevant experience in mechanical design engineering.
• Proficiency in using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks & Revit) to create detailed mechanical designs & drawings.
• Advanced knowledge of piping design approaches, component & material selection such as couplings, valves & sensors.
• Ability to apply engineering principles to the design release process (e.g., GD&T and statistical tolerance analysis).
• Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, especially as they relate to heat transfer and fluid flow in cooling systems.

Nice To Haves

• PEng is a distinct advantage.
• Experience with rapid prototyping manufacturing techniques and testing of thermal/mechanical components; familiarity with lab equipment for data collection.
• Experience with piping and cable routing in a 3D CAD environment.
• Excellent time management skills and problem solving capabilities
• Strong organizational skills
• Effective verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills
• Strong sense of urgency and responsiveness

Responsibilities

• Translate defined system concepts, requirements, and constraints into accurate, manufacturable mechanical designs.
• Develop detailed mechanical designs for TCL components and sub‑assemblies (e.g., valve trains, headers, spools, expansion tanks, support brackets, drip trays, and mounting hardware) based on established architectures and requirements.
• Execute and document mechanical and fluid calculations to support detailed TCL design.
• Create and maintain 3D part and assembly models and 2D fabrication, assembly, and installation drawings using SolidWorks & Revit BIM, ensuring models and drawings are complete, accurate, and manufacturable.
• Produce supporting mechanical documentation such as P&IDs, piping routing drawings, and interface details in accordance with requirements and design intent.
• Oversee the building and testing of TCL prototypes, run experiments, collect data, and refine designs based on the results to achieve the desired thermal and mechanical performance.
• Support install/commissioning readiness by defining mounting/bracketing, mechanical loading/moments/alignment requirements at connection ports, and site execution assumptions.
• Support production and field issues, including on-site, through deep system level troubleshooting and corrective action definition.
• Partner with Supply Chain to support component selection and cost down for valve trains and major hardware packages; confirm control expectations where needed.

Benefits

• Vacation and flex days
• Paid company-wide shutdown during the holiday season
• Comprehensive benefits including Dental, Drugs, Optical, Paramedical and Health Spending
• Retention rewards like “The Big Coffee Break” that reward tenure with additional vacation time and a monetary bonus
• Company-funded RRSP contributions
