Mechanical Design Engineer

Rotselaar, Belgium

Shape the Future of AI Infrastructure

At MegaCool Technologies, we aren't just making parts—we're solving one of the biggest physical bottlenecks in the AI revolution: heat.

As data centre cooling reaches its physical limits, we've developed Smartfins™, our ultra-high-performance thermal management technology powered by proprietary generative algorithms.

We're a lean, fast-moving startup that bridges the gap between advanced software intelligence and large-scale hardware manufacturing. Our technology delivers world-class thermal performance at a scalable cost while integrating seamlessly into existing global supply chains.

If you want to see your designs deployed at gigawatt scale across the world's largest data centres, you'll feel at home here.


The Role

As a Mechanical Design Engineer, you'll bridge the gap between impossible thermal challenges and ready-to-ship hardware.

This isn't a role where you'll spend your days making small edits to legacy CAD files. You'll use our proprietary generative design technology to create the next generation of liquid cooling solutions.

You'll own the complete design lifecycle of cold plates powering the industry's most advanced CPUs and GPUs, working with a high level of autonomy from concept through manufacturing.


What You'll Do

  • Rapid Design Iteration

    Develop high-performance cold plate designs by integrating our proprietary Smartfins technology into production-ready CAD models.

    Own Design for Manufacturing (DFM)

    Work directly with customers and global manufacturing partners to ensure every design is optimised for efficient, high-volume production.

    Drive the Digital Twin

    Leverage our SaaS platform to automate design iterations and provide Tier-1 partners with next-generation cooling solutions.

    Lead New Product Development

    Every new CPU and GPU generation requires a new cooling solution. You'll lead the design, validation and qualification of products for the world's leading OEMs.

    Thrive in a Startup Environment

    Move seamlessly between technical proof-of-concepts, customer discussions and close collaboration with our software engineers to continuously improve our generative design platform.


    What You'll Bring

    CAD Expertise
    You're a power user of professional CAD software such as:
    • Autodesk Inventor
    • Siemens NX
    • PTC Creo
    • You take pride in creating clean, manufacturable assemblies.


    Mechanical Engineering Fundamentals
    You understand metal fabrication and know how to optimise designs for manufacturing.
    Thermal Engineering Knowledge
    You have a solid understanding of thermodynamics and heat transfer. Experience with single-phase or two-phase liquid cooling is a strong advantage.
    Startup Mindset
    You're comfortable with ownership, ambiguity and rapid iteration, and enjoy bringing disruptive technologies into established industries.
    Customer Focus
    You're confident working directly with customers and are motivated to deliver successful engineering outcomes.

    Nice to Have

    • Experience in the data centre, semiconductor or liquid cooling industries
    • Knowledge of generative design, topology optimisation or thermal simulation tools

    Why Join MegaCool?

    Real Ownership
    Join a lean, high-impact team where your engineering decisions directly shape both the product and the company.
    Exceptional Growth Opportunity
    Help build technology at the forefront of a £50B+ market rapidly transitioning to liquid cooling.
    Meaningful Impact
    Your work will directly improve the energy efficiency of AI infrastructure—every degree of cooling matters.
    Fast-Paced Innovation
    We move at the speed of the CPU and GPU release cycle: fast, iterative and constantly pushing the limits of hardware performance.
