What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in remote mechanical design, and why are they important?

To excel in Remote Mechanical Design, a candidate should possess a strong background in mechanical engineering principles, proficiency in 3D CAD modeling, and often a relevant engineering degree. Familiarity with industry-standard tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, and simulation software, as well as certifications such as Professional Engineer (PE), are highly valued. Strong communication skills, self-motivation, and effective time management set standout professionals apart in remote work settings. These abilities are crucial for delivering quality designs, collaborating effectively with distributed teams, and meeting project deadlines in virtual environments.

What are the typical daily responsibilities for a remote mechanical design?

In a Remote Mechanical Design position, your day-to-day responsibilities usually involve creating detailed 3D models and technical drawings, coordinating with engineers and project managers via virtual meetings, and iterating designs based on feedback or shifting requirements. You'll often be tasked with running simulations and troubleshooting mechanical systems, documenting your work thoroughly, and ensuring all designs meet industry standards. Because the work is remote, clear digital communication and effective file-sharing are essential to collaborate efficiently with colleagues. Over time, you may also have opportunities to take on more complex projects or mentor junior designers, supporting your career growth within the organization.

What is a remote mechanical design?

A Remote Mechanical Design job involves creating, analyzing, and improving mechanical components or systems using CAD software and engineering principles while working remotely. Engineers collaborate with teams, communicate via digital tools, and ensure designs meet specifications and industry standards. Common tasks include 3D modeling, simulation, prototyping, and documentation. This role is common in industries like automotive, aerospace, and consumer products. Strong problem-solving skills, proficiency in design software, and effective remote communication are essential for success.

Job description

About Nebius:
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.
Listed on Nasdaq (NBIS) and headquartered in Amsterdam, we have a global footprint with R&D hubs across Europe, the UK, North America and Israel. Our team of 1,500+ includes hundreds of engineers with deep expertise across hardware, software and AI R&D.
The Role
Nebius is building next-generation data center infrastructure across the United States 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 US portfolio.
This role is ideal for a mechanical engineer who can take broad ownership across data center mechanical design, evaluate technical options, and work closely with electrical, construction, commissioning, and operations teams. The right candidate can operate independently, review third-party designs, and help Nebius build scalable, maintainable, high-density data center environments.
Location: Remote, US
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 hyperscale, 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.

Pay Transparency
We offer competitive compensation and benefits packages. Actual compensation will be determined based on job-related factors, including experience, skills, qualifications, the level at which the candidate is hired, and geographic location, consistent with applicable law.
Base Compensation Range
$185,000-$225,000 USD
Benefits & Perks:
  • 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

What's it like to work at Nebius:
Fast moving - Bold thinking - Constant growth - Meaningful impact - Trust and real ownership - Opportunity to shape the future of AI
