Mechanical Design Engineer

About the Position

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.

Built by engineers, for engineers. From large-scale GPU orchestration to inference optimization, we own the hard problems across compute, storage, networking, and applied AI.

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.

We Offer

• 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
