GTN Technical Staffing
Lead Mechanical Engineer
Location:
Dallas, TX or Spartanburg, SC (Relocation Offered)
Compensation:
$200, 000 -$400, 000 + Bonus + 100% company paid benefits
Overview We are seeking a
Mechanical Engineer
to define and lead the
mechanical design, operations, and thermal strategy
for next-generation
AI-scale data centers . This role sits at the intersection of engineering innovation and high-performance computing-driving breakthroughs in cooling, efficiency, and mechanical reliability for hyperscale environments.
Reporting directly to the Chief Engineer, this leader will be the
principal authority for mechanical systems design and operations , guiding the evolution of advanced cooling topologies that support GPU-dense workloads and large-scale AI clusters. The ideal candidate combines deep technical mastery with proven leadership to architect sustainable, efficient, and globally replicable systems.
Key Responsibilities Mechanical Architecture & Strategy
Architect and own the end-to-end mechanical systems roadmap for AI-scale compute environments.
Define internal design standards, templates, and repeatable system patterns across all facilities to ensure uniformity, compliance, and operational excellence.
Lead multi-disciplinary mechanical teams through design, construction, commissioning, and lifecycle operations.
Establish design governance frameworks to ensure mechanical scalability and energy efficiency across global deployments.
Advanced Cooling & Thermal Innovation
Develop and deploy
next-generation cooling technologies
such as direct-to-chip liquid cooling, immersion systems, and rear-door heat exchangers.
Oversee thermal modeling, CFD analysis, and airflow optimization to maintain ideal performance at maximum density.
Evaluate and pilot
emerging technologies -phase-change cooling, AI-assisted thermal modeling, and novel heat-transfer materials-to push mechanical boundaries.
Collaborate closely with electrical and controls teams to achieve fully integrated and adaptive thermal-power architectures.
Operations, Reliability & Continuous Improvement
Direct mechanical system commissioning, testing, and handover to operations with measurable KPIs for uptime and efficiency.
Implement predictive analytics and real-time monitoring platforms to enhance system visibility, reliability, and maintainability.
Lead root-cause analysis of mechanical incidents and deploy resilience strategies that improve system availability and fault tolerance.
Oversee vendor relationships, qualification standards, and long-term maintenance programs to sustain performance consistency.
Qualifications
Bachelor's or Master's degree in
Mechanical Engineering .
12+ years
of experience in data center, mission-critical, or energy-intensive environments.
Deep expertise in
thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, HVAC, and advanced cooling technologies .
Demonstrated leadership in hyperscale or GPU-accelerated mechanical system design.
Strong background in CFD modeling, system optimization, and operational analytics.
Proven ability to guide multi-disciplinary engineering teams and collaborate across electrical, controls, and operations groups.
Strong communicator capable of influencing both technical teams and executive leadership.
Bonus: Experience in large-scale mechanical system expansion and high-density compute environments.
Why Join This is a
high-impact leadership opportunity
to define the mechanical DNA of AI-scale infrastructure. You will architect the systems that enable next-generation compute performance-balancing thermodynamic efficiency with sustainability and scalability.
As a
Mechanical Systems Architect , you will directly shape how the world's most advanced data centers operate, setting the standard for performance, reliability, and innovation in the AI era.
