About the role

Key responsibilities & impact

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.

Requirements

What you’ll need

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.
Bonus: Direct-to-chip liquid cooling. Modular skid packages. Factory acceptance testing. Refrigerant and coolant markets.
