About the Job
We are seeking an experienced Chief Engineer or Senior Mechanical Engineer to contribute to a specialized AI training project focused on complex, real-world engineering workflows.
This role is designed for senior engineering professionals with a strong background in mechanical design, multidisciplinary project leadership, engineering analysis, and technical execution. You will use your industry experience to design realistic engineering projects, translate complex objectives into practical technical requirements, coordinate contributions from different engineering disciplines, and establish measurable evaluation criteria.
The ideal candidate has experience leading projects from initial concept through design, manufacturing, testing, and delivery, and can break down complex engineering challenges into structured tasks with clear technical expectations. Previous AI experience is not required.
Key Responsibilities
Design realistic engineering projects involving mechanical design, engineering analysis, manufacturing, and testing.
Develop project scenarios that reflect practical engineering challenges and industry workflows.
Translate high-level project objectives into detailed engineering requirements, operating constraints, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Break complex engineering problems into interconnected tasks with clearly defined inputs, outputs, dependencies, and deliverables.
Define responsibilities and technical contributions for specialists across multiple engineering disciplines.
Establish technical evaluation criteria to assess the quality, feasibility, and completeness of engineering solutions.
Apply engineering judgment to assess design decisions, technical trade-offs, and project constraints.
Incorporate design verification, manufacturing considerations, testing procedures, and root-cause analysis into project workflows.
Ensure that project tasks reflect realistic engineering standards, processes, and professional practices.
Requirements
Substantial professional experience as a Chief Engineer, Senior Mechanical Engineer, or in a comparable engineering leadership position.
Proven experience leading complex engineering projects involving multiple technical disciplines.
Strong expertise in mechanical design and engineering analysis.
Practical knowledge of Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) principles.
Experience with technical verification, engineering testing, and root-cause analysis.
Ability to translate complex engineering objectives into structured requirements, technical tasks, and measurable acceptance criteria.
Experience coordinating technical contributions and managing dependencies across engineering teams.
English proficiency at B2 level or higher.
Strong analytical, organizational, and technical communication skills.
Own mechanical engineering standards, design authority and liquid-cooling architecture across a global portfolio of AI factories, guiding projects from concept through commissioning while building and leading the mechanical engineering.
Leads mechanical engineering design and delivery for water and wastewater projects, overseeing technical verification, multidisciplinary coordination, project scopes and budgets, design leadership, and team development.
Lead the building-envelope system for ZURU homes, owning product decisions, platform design rules, performance standards, testing, and a team of design engineers across global engineering and manufacturing teams.
Lead mechanical building services projects from concept to completion, providing technical and project leadership while developing client relationships, mentoring engineers and supporting sustainable design and business growth.
Leads mechanical design, thermal architecture, and system integration for rack-scale AI compute hardware, guiding trays, rack systems, liquid cooling, and manufacturing qualification from concept through production.
