Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Oracle is a leading company in AI and cloud solutions, and they are seeking a Mechanical Engineering Architect. The role involves developing architectural standards for mechanical systems, optimizing energy efficiency, and providing technical leadership for data center cooling projects.
Responsibilities
- Develop reference architectures and technical standards for mechanical systems: air cooling (CRAC/CRAH, air-side economization), liquid cooling (CDU, cold plates, rear-door heat exchangers), and adiabatic cooling
- Develop scalable designs for hyperscale and high-density/HPC AI workloads, including redundancy, and control strategies
- Drive adoption of industry best practices aligned with ASHRAE TC9.9, Uptime Institute, and applicable local codes
- Set and deliver targets for PUE, and mechanical load reduction; optimize WUE and water risk where applicable
- Lead total cost of ownership (TCO) analyses, cost modeling, and energy/capacity planning to reduce both capex and opex
- Implement control sequences and optimization (BMS/SCADA/PLC) to minimize energy without sacrificing reliability or SLAs
- Provide technical leadership from concept through commissioning (L1-L5) and integrated systems testing (IST)
- Lead global standard MEP designs, equipment selection, and CFD/thermal modeling; validate performance against design intent
- Partner with Data Center Operations on continuous improvement
- Build and manage strategic relationships with OEMs, integrators, and critical suppliers; lead RFI/RFPs and negotiate technical requirements
- Track industry trends and emerging technologies (e.g., advanced liquid cooling, controls, materials) and develop adoption roadmaps
Skills
- 12+ years of experience in mechanical engineering or related discipline focused on data center cooling at scale
- Proven delivery of large, mission-critical cooling projects (air, liquid, adiabatic) from design through operations
- Deep hands-on knowledge of chillers, cooling towers/adiabatic units, pumps/valves, CDUs, CRAH/CRAC, economization, and advanced controls
- Demonstrated improvements in PUE/mechanical load and measurable cost reductions across multiple sites or programs
- Strong vendor/OEM network and experience driving RFx, technical evaluations, and contract requirements
- Proficiency with CFD/thermal modeling tools, commissioning practices, and BMS/SCADA/PLC-based control strategies
- Excellent communication skills: ability to influence senior stakeholders and drive decision-making through data
Benefits
- Medical, dental, and vision insurance, including expert medical opinion
- Short term disability and long term disability
