Principal Product Manager, Mechanical Infrastructure (Data Center Engineering)

Quick Facts

• Role: Principal Product Manager, Mechanical Infrastructure (Data Center Engineering)

• Focus: Mechanical strategy and product roadmap for next-generation data center facility systems

Description

Lead the definition and execution of product strategy for mechanical infrastructure and facility systems, bridging abstract business/scale goals with physical engineering realities. Own the “what” and “why” of the mechanical strategy, drive alignment across cross-functional teams, and make tough prioritization decisions even under complexity. Ensure systems are fit for purpose, scalable, cost-effective, and compatible across global regions.

Responsibilities

• System-Level Ownership: Evaluate how mechanical designs impact the broader infrastructure (cooling, electrical, structural) and propose integrated solutions.

• Product Strategy & Roadmap: Create a multi-year vision and roadmap; coordinate teams to build business cases, prioritize the portfolio, and define budget/resources.

• Modular Standardization: Standardize complex mechanical systems into modular, prefabricated skids to reduce on-site data center timelines.

• Global Compliance & Localization: Maintain compatibility across multiple geographic zones with differing building codes, environmental constraints, and climate variations.

• Strategic Alignment & Vision: Define facility and product-level challenges; align stakeholders through complex transitions.

• Value Engineering & Decision Making: Challenge assumptions about cost and complexity.

• Technical Leadership: Act as a subject matter expert for evaluating technical trade-offs.

• Systems Thinking: Understand upstream/downstream impacts of mechanical design choices on electrical and structural systems.

Requirements

• 8+ years of end to end product delivery experience

• Experience leading engineering discussions around technology decisions and strategy related to a product

• Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering or equivalent

• 8+ years of technical product management, program management or engineering experience

• Strong working knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical packaging

Benefits

• Base salary range (varies by location): $179,900–$243,400 annually

• Sign-on payments and RSUs

• Comprehensive health insurance (medical, dental, vision, prescription) and life/AD&D insurance with optional supplemental life plans

• EAP and mental health support, medical advice line

• Flexible spending accounts

• 401(k) matching

• Paid time off and parental leave

• Adoption and surrogacy reimbursement

• Workplace accommodations available during the application/hiring process
