Employer description & source details
As Staff Mechanical Engineer, you will provide technical leadership for the mechanical infrastructure that supports Graphcore's advanced machine learning and high-capacity computing environments. You will shape design standards, review critical systems, and coordinate with data center developers, consultants, and project partners. You will work across mechanical, electrical, controls, facilities, and IT infrastructure teams to deliver reliable and efficient data center systems. This Austin-based role includes approximately 10% to 20% travel for site visits, inspections, commissioning, and factory acceptance testing. Own and maintain mechanical design standards, specifications, and owner requirements for data center projects. Review mechanical system builds, computations, blueprints, technical requirements, equipment choices, and control sequences for technical quality and operational fit. Translate AI and high-performance computing rack requirements into scalable cooling, airflow, hydronic, piping, and heat-rejection solutions. Provide technical direction to external consultants, developers, equipment suppliers, and engineering partners. Evaluate design options for reliability, maintainability, energy and water performance, capacity, and future expansion. Coordinate mechanical interfaces with electrical systems, building controls, fire protection, IT infrastructure, and site operations. Lead design reviews, resolve technical issues, and document decisions, risks, and required follow-up actions. Support site inspections, equipment submittal reviews, factory acceptance tests, commissioning, and operational-readiness activities. Verify that projects meet approved requirements, applicable codes, safety expectations, and commissioning criteria before handover. Guide engineer
