Mechanical (CFD) Engineer, Data Center focus

Join an A&E Firm as a Mechanical Engineer performing CFD work for Data Center design projects - remote role!

Your New Company

Join an established Architecture & Engineering Firm with circa 200 employees that focus heavily on Mission Critical projects, with a large portfolio of Data Center design projects.

They have an urgent need for a Mechanical Engineer that has experience with CFD modelling and/or analysis for new construction data center projects. They use Cadence internally. This is a remote based role, employees must be located within the United States.

Your New Role

• Develop CFD models (Air and Liquid) of data center white space and outdoor infrastructure
• Simulate airflow, heat transfer, and pressure distributions to evaluate cooling performance, containment strategies, and equipment layouts
• Analyze interior and exterior data center conditions to optimize airflow, thermal behavior, and environmental performance
• Evaluate exterior environmental conditions including wind loading, heat island effects, and outdoor air intake behavior
• Interpret simulation results to identify risks, inefficiencies, and opportunities for design improvement
• Collaborate closely with the Architectural/Electrical/Mechanical design teams to support data center system design decisions
• Prepare technical reports and presentations summarizing modeling assumptions, methodologies, results, and design recommendations
• Support design optimization for cooling systems, containment solutions, and equipment placement
• Maintain and refine CFD simulation libraries, including equipment models, boundary conditions, and environmental templates
• Ensure CFD modeling and design recommendations comply with ASHRAE TC 9.9 and internal data center design standards

What You'll Need to Succeed

• Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• Existing Mechanical Design & CFD experienced support data center projects, ideally 3-5 Years of experience
• Experience with data center cooling technologies including IT equipment, emergency generators, air-cooled/water cooled chillers, cooling distribution units, cooling towers, adiabatic coolers, CRAH/CRAC units, liquid cooling systems, and containment solutions
• Strong understanding of thermodynamics and fluid mechanics as applied to HVAC and data center systems
• Proficiency in interpreting engineering drawings, equipment specifications, and facility layouts
• Ability to manage multiple CFD modeling tasks with strong attention to detail and accuracy
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical findings to non-technical stakeholders
• Knowledge of industry standards relevant to data center design

What You'll Get in Return

• Remote role
• Comprehensive medical and dental benefits
• Paid time off for work-life balance
• A 401k plan for long-term financial security
