Responsibilities
- 01Design direction and review of mechanical design concepts for data center cooling plants, chilled-water distribution, liquid cooling (direct-to-chip and CDUs), plumbing, and fire protection systems
- 02Review and direct design drawings, specifications, and construction documentation produced by external engineering firms
- 03Evaluate design submittals, shop drawings, and equipment selections; respond to RFIs with clear technical direction
- 04Identify design conflicts and drive resolution across mechanical, electrical, and controls disciplines
- 05Maintain and evolve Anthropic’s internal mechanical design standards and reference configurations
- 06Drive Anthropic’s prefabricated and modular mechanical strategy — modular cooling skids, prefabricated piping and pump assemblies, and design for offsite manufacture and onsite assembly
- 07Drive standardization of modular mechanical designs across sites while preserving flexibility for site-specific constraints and evolving hardware generations
- 08Serve as the primary mechanical engineering point of contact for external developers, design engineers, and construction partners across the U.S. portfolio
- 09Develop scopes of work, equipment specifications, and bid packages for mechanical infrastructure
- 10Perform technical due diligence on third-party and colocation facilities, evaluating mechanical designs against program requirements and redundancy targets
- 11Coordinate with equipment vendors and manufacturers on cooling system procurement, including chillers, CDUs, pumps, and piping assemblies, and partner with supply chain to mitigate lead-time and single-source risk
- 12Monitor mechanical system installation for compliance with design intent, applicable U.S. codes and standards, and industry best practice
- 13Conduct site visits to review progress, resolve field issues, and validate construction quality; travel to sites across the region as needed
- 14Support testing and commissioning of mechanical systems; analyze data and troubleshoot issues against design intent
Requirements
- 01Have 10+ years of experience designing building mechanical systems for data centers or mission-critical facilities, across the project lifecycle from concept design through construction, commissioning, and handover
- 02Have deep familiarity with U.S. mechanical, plumbing, and fire codes and standards — including the International Mechanical Code (IMC), International Plumbing Code (IPC), International Energy Conservation Code (IECC), International Building Code (IBC), NFPA 13 (automatic sprinkler systems), ASME B31 piping codes, and applicable state and local amendments, alongside ASHRAE guidance (incl. TC 9.9)
- 03Have strong knowledge of chilled-water systems, air-cooled cooling plants, liquid cooling (direct-to-chip and CDUs), and redundant piping configurations
- 04Have hands-on experience with prefabricated and modular mechanical infrastructure — modular cooling skids, prefabricated piping assemblies, and design for offsite manufacture
- 05Have experience driving and reviewing mechanical design work produced by external engineering consultants, and are proficient reading and marking up construction drawings, P&IDs, and single-line diagrams
- 06Hold a bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; a Professional Engineer (PE) license (or eligibility) is valued but not required
- 07Communicate clearly and can drive technical decisions across internal teams and external partners, and are results-oriented
What we offer
- 01Senior individual contributor role
- 02Based in the United States
- 03Travel to sites across the region as needed
