Location: Must be in Las Vegas, NV About SwitchAt Switch, we don’t just design, build and operate data centers—we are enabling the technology of the future. Led by Founder & CEO, Rob Roy, we believe in revolutionary innovation, operational excellence and the principle of karma. Switch is where talented people come together to EVOLVE the digital world.We believe that innovation isn’t just about technology—it’s about the people, culture, and purpose that make it happen. Every Switch team member contributes to a mission greater than themselves: to create the world’s most advanced digital infrastructure that powers the progress of humanity.The Role: Mechanical Engineer, Thermal & Fluid SystemsAs a Mechanical Engineer, you will design, model, and validate thermal and fluid systems used in Switch data center environments. This role exists to improve cooling performance, efficiency, and scalability through simulation-driven engineering and system modeling.You will leverage CFD, 3D modeling, and system simulation tools to validate designs and support development of digital twin capabilities. Your work directly informs design decisions and supports Product Development, Design Engineering, and Construction teams.What You’ll DoDevelop 3D CAD models for piping and fluid cooling systemsPerform CFD simulations to evaluate thermal and airflow performanceConduct system-level simulations to assess cooling infrastructure performanceAnalyze chiller and environmental performance under varying conditionsSupport development of digital twins through simulation outputs and visualizationCollaborate with Design Engineering and Construction teams to validate system performanceParticipate in system modeling activities using SysML or similar frameworksPrepare and present technical reports based on simulation resultsTranslate modeling insights into design improvementsContribute to continuous improvement of thermal and fluid system design practicesWhat We’re Looking ForYou apply strong fundamentals in heat transfer and fluid dynamicsYou approach modeling and design with precision and attention to detailYou translate simulation results into practical engineering decisionsYou communicate technical concepts clearly across teamsYou collaborate effectively in cross-functional environmentsYou take ownership of work from modeling through validationWhat You’ll BringRequiredBachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering (or related field) with 3+ years of experience, or Master’s degree with 1–2 years of experienceStrong background in heat transfer and fluid dynamicsExperience performing CFD simulationsExperience designing 3D CAD models for mechanical systemsExperience with industrial cooling systems, including chillers and pipingAbility to read and interpret piping diagrams and engineering schematicsExperience with CAD tools (e.g., SolidWorks, Siemens NX, or PTC Creo)Experience with CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS or similar)Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detailPreferredExperience in data center or AI infrastructure environmentsExperience developing P&IDs (Piping & Instrumentation Diagrams)Familiarity with system-level modeling tools (e.g., SysML, CATIA Magic)Experience in rapid prototyping or product development environmentsExposure to power or infrastructure systemsWe encourage you to apply even if you do not meet every preferred qualification.Why Switch?A Culture of Karma – We are self-motivated by karma, ensuring our actions contribute to a positive, supportive and forward-thinking environmentIndustry Leading Designs – Work with the most advanced data center technology on the planet and be a part of emerging technology developmentFlexibility & Remote Opportunities – Whether in-office, hybrid, or fully remote, we offer the technology and support to keep teams connected and productiveCareer Stability & Growth – In this expanding industry, we invest in our people, providing opportunities & advancement in a stable, growing companyGenerous Benefits Package – Switch provides comprehensive coverage for you and your family that can be tailored to fit your personal needs, and moreJoin Us & Make a DifferenceThis is more than a job—it’s a mission.
