Resident Mechanical Engineer, Modular R&D
About The Position
The Modular Team turns data center capacity into a manufactured product: modules engineered, built, and tested on a production line, then shipped to site ready to energize. Examples of key problems the team is working on include taking modular data center designs from released drawings through first article to rate production on the Phoenix manufacturing line, engineering cooling, piping, and airflow systems that build clean at station, pass pressure test the first time, and hold up in the field, closing the loop between the factory floor and design so every build issue gets killed in the drawing, not patched unit by unit, and compressing the cycle from design revision to line implementation without losing configuration control.
Requirements
- Engineered mechanical systems for complex physical products or modular construction hands-on, not from a desk.
- Worked on a shop floor or production line, and dispositioning a nonconformance in the moment is familiar work, not an escalation.
- Supported production launches of your own designs and stayed with them through the problems that only show up at rate.
- Drawings build clean: fabricators rarely call, and when they do, you fix the drawing.
- Run first-article builds and pressure tests personally, and when something failed, you traced it to the drawing or the process rather than reworking units one at a time.
- Iterate fast without losing configuration control: every fix lands in a controlled revision, and the line always knows which one it's building.
Nice To Haves
- Liquid cooling depth
- Piping and pressure testing experience
- Sheet metal design
- Strong DFM instincts
Responsibilities
- Own the mechanical systems of the modular product on the line, cooling, piping, and airflow, from released drawings through rate production.
- Live on the Phoenix manufacturing floor: walk the line daily, catch piping and assembly issues at the station where they happen, and disposition them on the spot.
- Run first-article reviews, fit checks, and pressure tests in person as units come down the line.
- Answer mechanical RFIs same-day from the floor, and engineer the fix into the next revision rather than leaving it as a one-off deviation.
- Close the loop to design: feed what the line learns back into drawings, tolerances, and the BOM so the same issue never builds twice.
Benefits
- Pay equity and transparency
