AWC is seeking a Mechanical Engineer – Data Center Cooling Solutions Architect to help develop and scale our capabilities in data center cooling and modular automation systems. Our team of co-owners values enthusiasm, creativity, and a growth mindset, and we’re committed to putting those qualities to work on solutions that matter. If you’re ready to grow and make an impact, we’d love to be on your team.

AWC helps industrial and critical infrastructure customers improve performance through automation, controls, power, instrumentation, and engineering support. We are building a focused capability to support the fast-growing data center market with modular, practical solutions that improve quality, responsiveness, support, and cost.

This role will bridge the gap between customer needs and AWC’s automation, controls, and project delivery teams. You will research target accounts and typical applications, develop account-specific Basis of Design concepts, define typical mechanical scope and interfaces, and help translate cooling-system requirements into practical automation and controls opportunities.

You will work closely with automation applications engineers, project managers, business development leaders, and supplier partners to create modular example designs, typical I/O and scope assumptions, and proof-of-concept packages that support customer workshops and business development efforts.

This is an ideal role for an engineer who combines strong mechanical aptitude with curiosity, commercial awareness, and a desire to help customers move faster from concept to execution.

How you’ll make an impact:

• Research target accounts, market segments, and common data center cooling applications using internal knowledge, supplier input, and AI-enabled research tools
• Develop account-specific and segment-specific Basis of Design concepts for cooling-related systems such as liquid cooling, cooling skids, pump packages, chiller interfaces, heat rejection systems, and related mechanical infrastructure
• Define typical system scope, operating concepts, instrumentation needs, valve applications, and controls interfaces
• Partner with automation applications engineers to translate mechanical systems into:
• controls narratives
• I/O concepts
• PLC/HMI architecture assumptions
• packaged automation opportunities
• Help create modular example designs with typical scope, lead times, and budgetary cost assumptions to support customer-facing discussions
• Support the creation of proof-of-concept packages used to secure workshops with engineering and project management decision makers
• Participate in customer discovery sessions and workshops to understand goals, pain points, standards, and project constraints
• Help identify opportunities to improve customer value through better design, standardization, sourcing, build strategy, and lifecycle support
• Organize and continuously improve an internal AI-enabled knowledge base for target accounts, typical applications, and reusable design patterns
• Coordinate with project managers, suppliers, and internal SMEs to ensure concepts are realistic, buildable, and commercially relevant
• Support business development efforts with technical insight, application guidance, and customer-facing credibility

Skills you’ll need:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering

• 5-7 years of experience in mechanical systems, thermal systems, process cooling, HVAC, packaged equipment, fluid handling, or related industrial applications
• Ability to understand and discuss pumps, valves, heat exchangers, chilled water systems, liquid cooling systems, or similar mechanical/process systems

• Strong communication skills and ability to work across engineering, sales, and project teams
• Ability to translate technical concepts into practical, customer-facing solutions
• Strong analytical and organizational skills
• Willingness to learn and use AI-enabled tools for research, design support, and knowledge capture

Here’s what will set you apart:

• Experience with data center cooling, mission critical infrastructure, liquid cooling, chiller plants, or modular skidded systems
• Familiarity with controls, instrumentation, automation systems, or electrical/mechanical interfaces
• Experience supporting customer-facing applications engineering, estimating, or proposal development
• Exposure to BAS, PLC/HMI systems, instrumentation, or valve applications
• Experience building standard designs, templates, or reusable engineering content
• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering is a plus, but not required

The Rewards:

• Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP)
• 401(K) Match
• Competitive Pay
• Medical, Dental and Vision Insurance Package
• Employer Paid Life Insurance
• Paid Time Off and Holiday Pay
• Career Development Opportunities
