[Remote] Reliability Engineer - Mechanical
Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Switch designs, builds, and operates data centers that provide advanced digital infrastructure. The Reliability Engineer - Mechanical will perform mechanical reliability analyses for mission-critical cooling and fluid systems, develop BIA/FMEA packages, define monitoring requirements, and recommend maintenance strategies, spare parts, and engineered mitigations.
Responsibilities
- Define mechanical system boundaries, functions, capacity margins, redundancy assumptions, and criticality
- Analyze chillers, heat-rejection systems, pumps, air handlers, CRAH and CRAC units, thermal storage, hydronic systems, liquid-cooling systems, coolant distribution units, and related controls
- Validate P&IDs, schematics, sequences of operation, operating modes, capacity assumptions, and common-cause failure risks
- Develop mechanical BIA/FMEA packages using system documents, telemetry, maintenance history, field observations, and event evidence
- Define condition indicators and monitoring requirements using thermal, vibration, flow, pressure, chemistry, and performance data
- Recommend maintenance tasks, intervals, spare-parts strategies, monitoring improvements, and engineered mitigations
- Support event reviews, commissioning, retrofit design reviews, vendor technical reviews, and site validation
- Facilitate technical workshops and document assumptions, decisions, risks, owners, and follow-up actions
- Track completed analyses, condition coverage, preventive maintenance optimization, repeat-failure trends, and risk and action closure
Skills
- Bachelor's degree in mechanical engineering or an equivalent combination of technical education and relevant experience
- Four or more years of experience in mechanical reliability, mechanical design, commissioning, or critical-facilities operations
- Experience with several of the following systems: chillers, HVAC, hydronics, pumping, heat rejection, thermal storage, liquid cooling, or related controls
- Ability to interpret P&IDs, mechanical schematics, sequences of operation, and thermodynamic performance data
- Experience applying maintenance and failure analysis using vibration, thermal, flow, pressure, chemistry, or equipment-performance indicators
- Ability to facilitate technical workshops, validate conditions in the field, write clear recommendations, and coordinate vendor follow-up
- Ability to read and follow technical documents, site procedures, safety requirements, and change-control processes
- Ability to obtain and maintain the site safety qualifications required for assigned work
- Ability to work across office or remote settings and active data center sites, with 25% to 40% travel and selected maintenance-window support
- Ability to work in environments that may include extended walking or standing, stairs, ladders, mechanical and electrical rooms, noise, temperature changes, and required PPE. The role may require carrying field equipment or documents weighing up to 35 pounds. Reasonable accommodations may be made for qualified individuals with disabilities
- PE, CMRP, CRL, vibration analysis, or thermography credential
- Experience with large-scale data center cooling, hydronic systems, thermal storage, or liquid-cooling deployments
Benefits
- A positive, supportive and forward-thinking environment.
- Work with the most advanced data center technology on the planet and be a part of emerging technology development.
- Whether in-office, hybrid, or fully remote, we offer the technology and support to keep teams connected and productive.
- Opportunities and advancement in a stable, growing company.
- Comprehensive coverage for you and your family that can be tailored to fit your personal needs.
