Travel: Approximately 20% domestic travel required

About the Opportunity

Join a fast-growing clean-energy technology company developing advanced thermal energy storage solutions for commercial, industrial, and mission-critical facilities. This role will focus on integrating high-impact chilled-water and cooling-plant systems that help improve data center capacity, energy efficiency, resiliency, and grid stability.

We are seeking a Senior Mechanical Systems Engineer with strong HVAC, hydronic, and chilled-water expertise to lead mechanical integration projects from design through commissioning across the United States.

What You’ll Do

Lead the mechanical design and integration of thermal energy storage and chilled-water systems.

Develop and review P&IDs, hydronic piping layouts, equipment arrangements, valve schedules, and controls integration interfaces.

Perform hydraulic and pipe-stress analyses and support code-compliant engineering documentation.

Integrate systems with chillers, cooling towers, heat exchangers, pumps, and BAS/BMS platforms.

Collaborate with data center operators, MEP firms, contractors, design engineers, controls integrators, and commissioning teams.

Support site surveys, startup, commissioning, and functional testing activities.

Provide technical input for presales efforts, proposals, and RFP responses.

Create or apply automation tools, such as Python or Excel/VBA, to improve engineering analyses and documentation.

Partner with global R&D and product teams to refine system designs and deployment methods.

Mentor junior engineers as the engineering team expands.

What We’re Looking For

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; PE license preferred.

5+ years of experience in HVAC, chilled-water systems, or energy infrastructure.

Strong knowledge of hydronic systems, thermodynamics, cooling plants, and BAS/BMS integration.

Experience coordinating work across mechanical, controls, and electrical disciplines.

Proficiency with AutoCAD, Revit, Plant 3D, or similar design tools.

Familiarity with commissioning, startup, and field-execution processes.

Ability to travel domestically up to 20% of the time.
