About the Role

~1 min read

Armada is seeking a Senior Mechanical Systems / Design Engineer to lead the design and development of liquid cooling and mechanical distribution systems for our modular AI data center platforms. This role sits at the intersection of mechanical design, hydraulic engineering, thermal infrastructure, manufacturing, controls, and commissioning. You will own the mechanical distribution architecture connecting heat-rejection equipment, pumps, piping, manifolds, coolant distribution units, rack cooling systems, and modular interconnects. You will translate system requirements into practical, serviceable, and repeatable designs that can be manufactured in a factory and deployed consistently across multiple sites. This is not a traditional consulting or drawing-review role. You will help establish the design rules, technical standards, interfaces, and commissioning philosophy behind the product itself.
