About the role

We are studying a renewable-first compute facility in West Bengal, including whether seawater can cool it through an isolated heat exchanger so it does not draw on city drinking water. You will help separate what is feasible from what is not, with numbers and sources.

Research power, cooling and water use for the sustainable compute campus Cehpoint is studying, including seawater cooling at a coastal site.

What you will do

  • Build simple models of power use, PUE and water use for different cooling options.
  • Summarise published research and regulations (for example coastal zone rules) relevant to the study.
  • Compare solar and wind supply profiles with a data centre's load.
  • Write short, sourced briefs that the team and partners can rely on.

What you should know

  • Undergraduate or postgraduate study in electrical, mechanical, energy or environmental engineering.

What you should be able to do

  • Build a spreadsheet model with stated assumptions that someone else can check.

How you work

  • You would rather say 'this does not work' with evidence than promise something impossible.

Skills we check

  • Thermodynamics or electrical engineering
  • Spreadsheet modelling
  • Literature review
  • Technical writing

What you get

  • Work on an early-stage infrastructure study end to end.
  • Monthly stipend and a path to a full-time offer.
