## About the role

d-Matrix is seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer to lead rack-scale mechanical design for our AI inference hardware platform, from chip/package to full system level. In this role, you'll own mechanical systems through their entire lifecycle — from concept and validation to mass production — working closely with thermal, electrical, software, and systems engineering teams.

## What they're looking for

- Master’s degree in mechanical engineering or related field
- 15+ years of industry experience in mechanical design, simulation, and validation for IT hardware
- Experience with data center hardware or high-performance computing systems at scale
- Familiarity with liquid-cooled rack architectures (cold plates, manifolds, CDUs, facility water interfaces) sufficient to review and integrate card-level cooling designs at the rack level
- Direct hands-on cold plate or manifold design experience, beyond rack-level integration
- Deep understanding of reliability testing, failure analysis, and thermal stress modeling for electronic components
