About the role
We are looking for a Senior Thermal Engineer in Costa Mesa, CA to own the thermal management of expeditionary AI/HPC data centers—air-transportable, modular compute and command-and-control infrastructure built to run at forward operating locations. You will apply a deep understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and HVAC to keep high-density compute running reliably in austere environments with extreme temperatures and limited power. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- MS or higher in mechanical engineering, applied physics, or related field focused on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and HVAC
- In-depth understanding of heat transfer and fluid dynamics
- 5+ years designing thermal management systems for data centers or comparable mission-critical infrastructure
- Full-spectrum data center thermal experience—air-side and water-side cooling, heat rejection, chilled water plant design, power density management, and liquid cooling
- Steady-state and transient system modeling of thermal management systems, including HVAC and refrigerant simulations
- Validating and testing data center thermal equipment, with knowledge of applicable operating standards
