📋 Description

• Own the hydronic distribution architecture across primary water/PG25 loop • Define and standardize system design rules for flow, pressure drop, balancing, and measurement • Establish practical design approaches for PG25 and water-based systems, including pipe sizing, fluid behavior, and maintainability considerations • Support system-level alignment between plant, distribution, and rack cooling interfaces • Own distribution P&IDs, valve schedules, and instrumentation schedules • Maintain revision discipline, tagging standards, and interface clarity across the mechanical distribution package • Define boundaries and interfaces between plant equipment, CDUs, rack cooling components, and module-to-module interconnects • Develop and maintain interface control documentation for hydronic system boundaries • Design for startup, commissioning, and long-term operation • Define fill, flush, vent, drain, isolation, bypass, and strainer strategies • Establish measurement points for flow, differential pressure, and temperature • Partner with commissioning and controls teams to define what must be measured, how it will be measured, and what acceptable startup performance looks like • Own pipe sizing methodology and pressure drop strategy for both PG25 and water loops • Define practical approaches to balancing and instrumentation placement • Ensure real-world field performance aligns with design intent • Help establish repeatable standards for distribution performance across product variants • Own mechanical distribution layout packages and service clearance requirements • Ensure systems are designed for safe access, maintenance, replacement, and long-term serviceability • Support design for manufacturing by standardizing routing approaches, fittings strategy, tolerances, and assembly expectations • Help define clear factory-built versus field-installed scope boundaries • Define standard module interconnect approaches, including manifolds, quick connects, labeling, boundary isolation, and leak detection interfaces as applicable • Ensure interconnect designs support rapid deployment while preserving reliability and maintainability • Drive consistency across builds to reduce site variability and improve product repeatability • Partner with mechanical plant, thermal, electrical, controls, manufacturing, and commissioning teams • Coordinate system interfaces without losing baseline discipline • Work with OEMs and fabricators while maintaining ownership of the internal distribution architecture and standards • Support factory builds, field feedback collection, and lessons-learned incorporation into future revisions

🎯 Requirements

• 7+ years of experience in hydronic distribution design for data centers, industrial systems, mission-critical HVAC, or comparable thermal infrastructure • Strong experience owning P&IDs, valve strategies, and instrumentation design • Practical field knowledge of commissioning, startup, and serviceability constraints • Experience with glycol-based cooling systems such as PG25 or equivalent • Strong understanding of pipe sizing, flow management, pressure drop, balancing, and measurement strategies • Proven ability to maintain documentation discipline, revision control, and interface clarity • Strong cross-functional collaboration skills across mechanical, controls, manufacturing, and field teams

🏖️ Benefits

• Competitive base salary and equity • Medical, dental, and vision (subsidized cost) • Health savings accounts (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSA), and dependent care FSAs (DCFSA) • Retirement plan options, including 401(k) and Roth 401(k) • Unlimited paid time off (PTO) • 14 paid company holidays per year
