Hut 8 is seeking a Senior Mechanical Engineer to own the design, engineering, and delivery of mechanical systems for mission-critical infrastructure projects. This is a hands-on role where you will take full professional responsibility as Engineer of Record for mechanical system design end-to-end, including chilled-water plants, air-cooled and direct-liquid-cooling (DLC) systems, piping, and fire protection systems.
You will design mechanical systems from first principles, stamp calculations and drawings as the author (not reviewer), and maintain close involvement through construction and commissioning phases. Your responsibilities include catching design-construction conflicts before they become delays, challenging cost and constructability assumptions, and reviewing third-party engineering deliverables without compromising critical design margins.
The company operates with an ownership-driven culture where scope and responsibility grow with impact, and influence is defined by what you take on rather than hierarchy. You will work directly with contractors, vendors, and construction teams, and have the autonomy to operate beyond a traditional title.
REQUIREMENTS:
- Active Professional Engineer (PE) license (required)
- 7+ years designing mechanical systems for data centers, industrial, or other mission-critical facilities
- Working knowledge of IMC, IPC, IECC, NFPA 13, ASME B31, and ASHRAE TC 9.9
- Hands-on experience with chilled-water plants and liquid-cooling architectures
- Ability to read and redline P&IDs, single-line diagrams, and construction documents independently
- Direct experience working with contractors, vendors, and construction teams through commissioning
BONUS QUALIFICATIONS:
- 10+ years and multi-site U.S. data center delivery experience
- CFD or thermal-hydraulic modeling experience (AFT Fathom, ANSYS, or similar)
- Background at a company that self-performs builds rather than relying on general contractors
- Experience integrating with BAS/controls systems
