Design Engineer ( Data Center Cooling, Autodesk, HVAC)
Posted
Description
Introduction
KLXDesign Engineer plays a critical role in developing and delivering engineering proposals for advanced cooling solutions. This position requires strong technical expertise in HVAC/ACMV systems, thermosiphon refrigeration, and data centre cooling applications. The engineer will be responsible for preparing technical drawings, calculations, and documentation to support project execution and compliance.
- Develop cooling system layouts that accommodate pipe thermal expansion and avoid routing water pipes above electrical equipment.
- Perform heat load calculations, airflow distribution analysis, and system performance assessments.
- Determine the maximum heat capacity of Information Technology Equipment (ITE) racks.
- Define the required quantities of HRM, RCU, CCB, control valves, and piping to meet redundancy and resilience requirements.
- Prepare technical proposals supported by engineering calculations and layouts.
- Use AI-assisted tools, where appropriate, to support design optimisation, heat load prediction, and airflow simulation.
- Conduct site surveys and translate measurements into accurate proposal drawings and as-built drawings upon project completion.
- Develop 3D models and produce 2D and 3D drawings, including parts, assemblies, and combined services drawings.
- Prepare piping and instrumentation diagrams (P&IDs), general arrangement (GA) drawings, and schematics.
- Collaborate with project teams and relevant stakeholders to ensure designs meet site and project requirements.
- Establish and maintain consistent document and drawing naming conventions for easy retrieval.
- Manage document versions and revisions to ensure the latest approved drawings and documents are used.
- Maintain accurate document registers and organised filing systems.
- Submit daily and weekly work activity reports to the immediate supervisor and relevant management.
- Perform other assigned duties to support project delivery and organisational needs.
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
- Preferably 3–5 years of relevant design engineering experience in HVAC/ACMV or data centre cooling systems.
- Experience working with engineering companies or contractors.
- Strong proficiency in Revit, AutoCAD, and Autodesk Inventor.
- Strong knowledge of thermosiphon refrigeration, chilled water systems, and airflow analysis.
- Ability to prepare P&IDs, GA drawings, and schematic drawings.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, documentation, and organisational skills.
- Good communication skills and the ability to work independently and collaborate across teams in a fast-paced environment.
- Willingness to travel overseas or outstation when required.
- Proficiency in computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software and additional CAD tools such as SolidWorks or equivalent.
- Experience with AI-assisted design optimisation, load prediction, or airflow simulation tools.
- Contribute to engineering solutions for data centre cooling.
- Gain exposure across the project lifecycle, from site surveys and design proposals to final as-built documentation.
- Apply your technical skills while exploring new design tools and methods.
