Mechanical Utilities, BTM R&D

About the role

We exist to make humanity more free. For most of human history, you farmed or you starved. Technology gave people more time for the things they wanted to do, instead of things they had to do. Powerful AI will be the biggest lever for human choice we've ever built - but only if models are aligned with what humanity actually wants. There are groups building AI who don't share these goals. Whoever deploys frontier compute infrastructure fastest will decide whether AI expands human freedom or shrinks it. We're singularly focused on delivering 10 to 100s of GWs of compute faster than anyone else, rethinking every layer of the stack.

We acquire power, design and build data centers, and operate them - with teams spanning hardware and software. Speed and scale are our key differentiators. Come be a part of building civilization-scale infrastructure for AI. We hire people who care deeply about this problem space.

How We Operate

We operate with extreme ownership, full autonomy, and velocity. We drive everything forward as fast as possible, challenging every assumption and using first principles. We have a love of the game, and the frontier of AI is the most interesting problem of our time. We put in long hours at high intensity to push the frontier forward.

Responsibilities

As an engineer, you will be responsible for engineering mechanical utilities for behind-the-meter plants, including fuel gas, water, compressed air, and balance-of-plant systems. You will design the balance of plant generation, integrate utilities across the campus, and own vendor and EPC interfaces for utility scope.

• Design the balance of plant generation, sized, routed, and specified for fast build and long life.
• Integrate utilities across the campus: generation, data center, and site systems as one mechanical design.
• Own vendor and EPC interfaces for utility scope: packages reviewed, gaps caught, field questions answered.

Requirements

We're looking for someone who has engineered balance-of-plant or utility systems for power generation or heavy industry. You should have experience designing fuel gas systems and know the codes that govern them. You should also have experience integrating packaged equipment into functioning plant and catching interface gaps on paper.

• Engineered balance-of-plant or utility systems for power generation or heavy industry.
• Designed fuel gas systems and know the codes that govern them.
• Integrated packaged equipment into functioning plant.
• Catch interface gaps on paper: tie-ins, capacities, and controls.
• Review EPC packages critically.

Bonus experience includes gas turbine or recip plant BOP, NFPA 54 and 56 depth, water systems, compressed air and nitrogen systems.
