Description
Meta is seeking a Mechanical Engineer experienced in the design and operations of critical facilities to become part of our Design Engineering and Construction team. Our data centers are the foundation upon which our software operates with efficient ease. Building and operating data centers the "right" way from the day they go live is synonymous with ensuring capacity availability and capital conservatism. The Meta Data Center Engineering team endeavors to be the benchmark of innovation for the data center industry and improve reliability, safety, and efficiency through innovative solutions, enabling Infrastructure teams to excel in achieving their goals. This position is full-time.
Mechanical Engineer - DEC, Engineering Responsibilities
  • Research, design and develop new data center cooling technologies / systems to reduce cost, improve reliability, efficiency, and speed to market. Contribute to development of data center cooling strategy and roadmap.
  • Initiate and lead cooling R&D projects comprising proof of concept studies, prototyping and pilot deployments to evaluate the technical benefits and feasibility of various cooling technologies/solutions for broader deployment within data center environment.
  • Lead and implement technical scope of all phases of R&D life cycle of cooling solutions/technologies - design requirements and risks, design development, verification/validation testing in controlled environments (e.g. vendor labs and data centers), conduct design reviews and seek approvals, technical documentation, patents and publications.
  • Lead and/or assist on new data center product designs, integrating new technological advancements and requirements while balancing business priorities around cost, efficiency, time to delivery and sustainability.
  • Responsible for data center product mechanical systems strategies and infrastructure designs and specifications as well as follow-up support of new product delivery.
  • Work closely with CSLA, Electrical, Connectivity & Controls Engineering teams to achieve holistic new product design that is optimized for cost, construction speed, operational efficiency, and long-term fungibility/flexibility.
  • Drive required cross-functional collaboration with other Meta teams including Design, Sourcing, Hardware Engineering, Network Engineering, Automations and Controls, Construction, and Facilities Operations.
  • Develop strong research collaborations with data center peers, vendors, academia, and government organizations to remain current on industry trends while influencing technology development.
  • Evaluate new cooling system technologies and collaborate with cross functional teams to transform those innovations to manufactured equipment.
  • Travel to vendor/design partner locations and Meta’s data center sites for verification/validation testing of cooling products/technologies.
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering
  • Minimum ten (10) years of hands-on R&D experience in mission critical mechanical (e.g. cooling) components and systems including concept formulation, detailed design, modeling/simulation, prototyping, verification/validation testing and installation/commissioning for sustained operations
  • Cross-disciplinary design, development and operations knowledge of data center or similar mission critical industry heat absorption and heat rejection systems: server/rack/row level heat absorption (e.g. liquid cooling, air cooling using heat exchangers), building/campus level heat rejection (e.g. chillers, open cooling towers), facility & technical water distribution architecture, associated automations & controls systems
  • Experience and expertise in mechanical modeling/simulation/analysis/design methodologies/tools - thermal and structural modeling and simulation of cooling systems (e.g. CFD, FEA)
  • Proven analytical and troubleshooting skills
  • Effective presentation and communication to peers, stakeholders and leadership
Preferred Qualifications
  • Advanced degree in Mechanical Engineering - MS, PhD
  • Professional Engineer registration
  • Experience in mechanical (cooling) systems reliability modeling, statistical analyses, or data science techniques
  • Experience in cost estimating methodologies to establish business cases for R&D projects - e.g. Total Cost of Ownership (TCO), ROI, etc.
  • Working knowledge of design, development, and manufacturing processes as applied to adjacent data center systems and solutions
  • Experience in applying systems engineering elements/methods to R&D projects
  • Design and operation experience with large and complex data centers, including campus systems
  • Working knowledge of relevant domestic and international standards, building codes and safety regulations for cooling systems including NEC, ASHRAE, NETA, ANSI, IEEE, NFPA, UL, UFC and UBC

Frequently Asked Questions

  • We prioritize job seekers as our customers, unlike bigger job sites, by charging a small fee to provide them with curated access to the best companies and up-to-date jobs. This focus allows us to deliver a more personalized and effective job search experience.
  • Salaries for the engineering jobs on our site range from $100K-$200K. On average, senior engineer positions on our EchoJobs are about $160K.
  • The EchoJobs positions have been sourced and vetted from the top companies to work for in the US as a software engineer, including LinkedIn and other reputable job sites. We also have syndicated jobs from companies that have just raised funding, as well as those that have great unique products and culture. From all of these sources, our founder, Morgan, has also resourced the company's authenticity in terms of their website, public appearance, and more.
  • Yes, our users asked us for just this, so now our search filters allow you to search for your top jobs via location, as well as by onsite, remote, or both. Approximately 30% of our jobs are remote, so you’ve got the best options for you!
  • We have not yet implemented this option, but are considering doing so in the future. For the moment, you would need to cancel your subscription, and resubscribe when you wanted to come back.
  • We add new jobs to EchoJobs every day! We scan our sources for the newest jobs, verify them, and post them to EchoJobs within minutes. We add about 2,000-3,000 new jobs for you each day!
  • From starting your job search to getting hired, the entire job search process can take us software engineers anywhere between 3-6 months. However, at EchoJobs, we’re striving to shorten this duration by finding the best, newest jobs for you, so you can do less job searching, and more applying.
  • We’d recommend checking EchoJobs daily, as we add new jobs to the site each day. Additionally, if you got a chance to read our previous email on “what makes EchoJobs different from any other job search tools,” we also recommended that you set a job alert based on your job filters, so if you get emails on those new jobs, you could be checking more than once per day.
  • If you decide to continue with us after the 1-month trial, we definitely recommend this, as we all know it usually takes 3-6 months to find a quality job as a software engineer these days. So to best support you, we just adjusted our membership options at EchoJobs to monthly, 3 months, or 12 months (this option is more for passive job seekers looking a little bit for the future if they want to come back to work or make a job switch potentially. This lets you see what’s out there in case an even better fit job becomes available.)
  • EchoJobs is truly the only job site of its kind. We want to be THE spot for you to find the best job for you, and haven’t encountered any other company doing this. Other job sites are in niches besides software engineering or focus on a small portion of engineering jobs (like a specific coding language). In the words of Morgan, our founder, “I think what makes EchoJobs different is the amount of jobs, frequency that we add new jobs (we add 2,000-3,000 new jobs daily!), and the powerful search engines to find exactly the job you want more easily and efficiently. We can provide you with the most jobs that are vetted by us, we’ll continually find more new jobs for you, and we make it easier for you to apply and get hired.
