Lead Mechanical Engineer (Core & Reliability)
Role Overview The Lead Mechanical Engineer drives the architectural design, implementation, and lifecycle reliability of thermal management systems across regional data center facilities. This role ensures that mechanical infrastructure—from initial site concept to active operation—meets stringent uptime Service Level Agreements (SLAs) while supporting high-density client requirements.
Key Responsibilities:
Design & Architecture
- Spearhead and oversee the design of advanced thermal management systems, with a specialized focus on integrating liquid cooling architectures and high-density air cooling solutions.
- Develop standardized, modular mechanical blueprints that allow for concurrent maintainability, continuous cooling and seamless capacity scaling without disrupting live operations.
- Evaluate and select mechanical equipment (chillers, CDUs, CRAC/CRAH units) based on efficiency, scalability, and long-term continues improvement and reliability metrics.
Reliability & Lifecycle Engineering:
- Embed Design-for-Reliability (DfR) principles into all mechanical design and deployments, conducting extensive Failure Mode and Effects Analysis (FMEA) during the design and delivery phases.
- Establish predictive maintenance frameworks utilizing telemetry and Building Management System (BMS) data to preempt mechanical degradation and optimize PUE and WUE.
- Lead post-incident lifecycle after root cause analysis (RCA) for any mechanical anomalies has been established , ensuring findings are fed back into future system designs.
Strategic & Cross-Functional Support:
- Provide deep technical validation and engineering support for complex client deployments and operation team, particularly in high-density markets like Singapore.
- Partner with design and delivery teams in Malaysia to ensure on-the-ground mechanical construction and operation aligns perfectly with design tolerances and multiple phasing schedules.
- Assess mechanical viability, environmental compliance, and local climate constraints across the region.
Job Requirements:
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering (Professional Engineer or Technologist certification highly preferred).
- Extensive experience, at least 10 years, in mission-critical infrastructure design and operations, specifically within large-scale data center environments.
- Demonstrated expertise in computational fluid dynamics (CFD), flow network modelling (FNM), liquid cooling systems, and advanced HVAC configurations.
