Who You Are:

The Senior Mechanical Engineer, Data Center Operations Engineering & Reliability provides full-lifecycle mechanical engineering support across the data center portfolio, from site design and construction through commissioning, turnover, and enduring operations within Galaxy's Data Center team.

This role serves as an operations-focused technical owner for mechanical infrastructure, ensuring systems are designed, built, commissioned, maintained, and operated in a way that protects uptime, preserves design intent, supports redundancy models, and improves long-term asset reliability.

The role partners with site operations, design and construction, commissioning, controls/BMS, vendors, OEMs, finance, and enterprise reliability leadership to translate design decisions and construction outcomes into safe, maintainable, and reliable operations.

What You’ll Do:

This position supports the enterprise reliability strategy, maintenance governance, asset lifecycle planning, engineering standards, RCA discipline, technical escalation model, commissioning lessons learned, and continuous improvement objectives owned by the VP, Operational Reliability & Engineering.

Key Responsibilities

1. Site Design and Pre-Construction Support

• Provide mechanical engineering input during site selection, concept design, schematic design, design development, and construction document reviews.
• Review mechanical design packages for operational readiness, maintainability, service access, system redundancy, capacity, resiliency, and preservation of design intent.
• Evaluate mechanical system designs, including chilled water systems, air-cooled and water-cooled chillers, pumps, cooling towers, CRAH/CRAC units, heat exchangers, economizers, valves, piping, filtration, humidification, water treatment systems, and supporting infrastructure.
• Identify design risks that could create future operational issues, single points of failure, maintenance access constraints, reliability gaps, or lifecycle cost exposure.
• Participate in constructability reviews, value engineering discussions, submittal reviews, RFI resolution, equipment selection reviews, and design standard updates.
• Partner with design and construction teams to ensure mechanical systems align with enterprise standards, OEM requirements, warranty protections, and long-term operating expectations.

2. Construction, Commissioning, Turnover, and Operational Readiness

• Support construction-phase technical reviews to ensure installed mechanical systems remain aligned with approved design intent, redundancy models, sequence requirements, and operating requirements.
• Review and provide input on commissioning plans, functional performance tests, integrated systems tests, failure-mode tests, and sequence-of-operations validation.
• Validate that mechanical alarms, controls sequences, set points, trends, and BMS visibility support safe and reliable operations.
• Ensure turnover packages include complete O&M manuals, as-built drawings, asset data, warranty information, spare parts requirements, PM tasks, training materials, and vendor service requirements.
• Confirm site operations teams are prepared to operate, maintain, and troubleshoot mechanical systems before handoff to enduring operations.
• Capture construction and commissioning lessons learned and incorporate them into standards, operating procedures, maintenance programs, and future designs.

3. Enduring Operations and Reliability Engineering

• Serve as a mechanical technical escalation point for site operations during incidents, abnormal operating conditions, environmental excursions, equipment failures, and reliability concerns.
• Analyze mechanical system performance trends, including temperature, humidity, flow, pressure, valve position, pump performance, chiller efficiency, economizer operation, and controls stability.
• Lead or support root cause analysis for mechanical incidents, near misses, recurring alarms, capacity constraints, and equipment failures.
• Develop corrective and preventive actions that eliminate repeat failure modes and reduce operational risk.
• Partner with controls/BMS teams to improve alarm rationalization, monitoring, trending, sequence performance, and operator visibility.
• Provide engineering guidance for live-site maintenance activities, system isolations, change management reviews, MOPs, SOPs, EOPs, and risk assessments.
• Own the mechanical sequence-of-operations documentation as a living artifact post-turnover, ensuring it stays current as systems, set points, and control strategies evolve during enduring operations.

4. Maintenance, Asset Lifecycle, and Risk Management

• Define, review, and improve preventative maintenance standards for critical mechanical equipment across the operating portfolio.
• Ensure maintenance practices align with OEM recommendations, warranty requirements, contractual uptime commitments, and site-specific operating conditions.
• Support reliability-centered maintenance and predictive maintenance programs where appropriate, using asset condition, failure history, service records, and operating data.
• Develop mechanical asset criticality frameworks to prioritize inspection, maintenance, testing, spare parts, capital replacement, and engineering oversight.
• Partner with finance, operations, and reliability leadership to support long-term capital replacement forecasts tied to equipment degradation, age, risk, and lifecycle cost.
• Review vendor service quality, maintenance documentation, corrective maintenance effectiveness, and spare parts strategies for critical mechanical systems.
• Own the water treatment and chemistry monitoring program for chilled water and condenser water systems, including chemistry limits, treatment equipment performance, ongoing monitoring cadence, and coordination with water treatment vendors to protect system integrity and heat transfer efficiency.

5. Standards, Governance, and Continuous Improvement

• Develop and maintain mechanical engineering standards, operating playbooks, troubleshooting guides, technical bulletins, and review frameworks for the operations organization.
• Support management of change processes to ensure mechanical modifications are reviewed for reliability, redundancy impact, maintainability, documentation, training, and operational readiness.
• Translate site-level incidents, near misses, asset performance issues, and commissioning findings into portfolio-wide improvements.
• Help establish engineering competencies, technical training content, and qualification expectations for mechanical operations support.
• Reduce single points of technical dependency by documenting knowledge, coaching site teams, and strengthening internal engineering capability.
• Promote disciplined risk evaluation, technical documentation, and cross-functional decision-making across design, construction, commissioning, and operations.
