Description
Nebius is leading a new era in cloud infrastructure for the global AI economy. We are building a full-stack AI cloud platform that supports developers and enterprises from data and model training through to production deployment, without the cost and complexity of building large in-house AI/ML infrastructure.
The Role Nebius is building next-generation data center infrastructure across the APAC to support high-density, GPU-driven workloads. As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you will support the design, review, and technical development of mechanical systems for data centers across the APAC portfolio.
Responsibilities
- Review mechanical design packages for data center projects, including internal concepts and third-party partner designs.
- Support mechanical design development for high-density data center environments.
- Evaluate mechanical design options for air-cooled and liquid-cooled data center architectures.
- Coordinate closely with electrical design, construction, commissioning, and operations stakeholders.
- Review designs for maintainability, operational resilience, capacity, and alignment with Nebius standards.
- Help assess technical tradeoffs, alternative solutions, product options, and design risks.
- Support design reviews tied to power density, airflow, cooling capacity, and operational readiness.
Requirements
- Data center mechanical design experience.
- Strong understanding of mechanical systems in mission-critical or data center environments.
- Experience with air-cooled data center design.
- Ability to evaluate mechanical capacity, flows, and design assumptions.
- Ability to review design documents, technical proposals, and partner deliverables.
- Ability to read and interpret contracts, design requirements, and technical standards.
- Strong communication skills with internal stakeholders, external design partners, and construction teams.
- Broad engineering ownership mindset; able to manage the full mechanical design scope rather than only a narrow specialty.
Nice to Have
- Experience with liquid-cooled data center technologies.
- Experience with hyper-scale, neocloud, GPU, or AI infrastructure data centers.
- Experience at companies such as Lambda, CoreWeave, hyperscalers, colocation providers, or mission-critical engineering firms.
- Familiarity with high-density rack environments, including 50kW to 200kW per rack.
- Experience supporting design reviews through commissioning or operational turnover.
Benefits & Perks:
- Competitive compensation
- Career growth and learning opportunities
- Flexibility and ownership
- Collaborative and innovative culture
- Opportunity to work on impactful AI projects
- International environment and talented teams
