About the role

Role focused on owning the data center mechanical category (CDUs, chillers, pumps, dry coolers, piping), negotiating with mechanical OEMs, dual-sourcing, and coordinating with manufacturing and design to align specs and lead times for liquid-cooled builds in a high-speed, frontier-AI infrastructure environment.

Responsibilities

  • Own the data center mechanical category: CDUs, chillers, pumps, dry coolers, and piping packages for liquid-cooled builds.
  • Negotiate supply agreements with mechanical OEMs covering price, lead time, and factory capacity across a multi-year pipeline.
  • Dual-source CDU and chiller platforms and drive the qualification work that makes the second source usable.
  • Coordinate with manufacturing and design so equipment specs freeze early enough to buy at the lead times the market gives.

Qualifications

  • You've sourced major mechanical equipment (chillers, CDUs, AHUs, pumps) for data center or industrial programs.
  • You've negotiated with mechanical OEMs on multi-year committed volumes.
  • You know liquid cooling equipment well enough to challenge a spec or a price with substance.
  • You've managed factory schedules and witness points so delivery dates held.
