Cool your data center with 20°C water while using 30% less water and electricity than a chiller. Forget the wet bulb, cool to the dew point. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
We are hiring a Mechanical Engineer to take our cooling technology from prototypes to full-scale, field-deployed systems. You will own mechanical design across thermodynamics, fluid systems, heat exchangers, packaging, manufacturing, testing, and commissioning. This is a highly hands-on role: you will move between first-principles analysis, DFM, CAD, supplier conversations, prototype assembly, instrumentation, and field testing.
What they're looking for
- A bachelor’s degree or higher in mechanical engineering or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
- Experience designing and shipping complex thermal-fluid hardware
- Strong fundamentals in thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat and mass transfer, and mechanical design
- Experience owning hardware through the full development cycle
- Proficiency with CAD and engineering drawings
- Experience building and debugging physical systems
More about this role
Madrone is building the thermal infrastructure required for artificial intelligence to tackle humanity’s most complex challenges - from curing cancer to achieving room-temperature superconductivity.
Power is the primary constraint on data center growth, and currently up to 40% of power is lost to cooling at current GW-scale sites.
Madrone’s first product is a modular, hyper-efficient facility water cooling system for hyperscale data centers. It allows cooling to the dew point, lower than anyone else can without using mechanical chillers.
We’re assembling an exceptional team to push the frontier of heat rejection on Earth.
