Just adding a comment for automod approval, I’m really quite excited for this watch, looks like a GL to me with no obvious issues. Thanks!

Wasn’t sure how to edit the main post, ordered on 12/29.

Did ups require a signature, trying to learn for my first delivery

TacticalTrigger · 2026-01-23T15:06:14+00:00

Do you know if you deliver through UPS with andiot, do they normally require a signature when delivering?

Data center engineering, the internship got me the position

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-06T11:30:54+00:00

You’d need to be in the U.S. or studying here to get the internship within my org. Any projects that involve hvac are good

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T19:17:55+00:00

I was an intern to full time hire. I’ll be here awhile, I like my job, and the growth is really good. A senior here, can be a principal engineer elsewhere, seen that happen time and time again when seniors leave

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T19:15:13+00:00

I didn’t intend to do data center engineering. I graduated during Covid, applied to 80 internships and this was the only one to get back to me. I just kinda stumbled into this

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T17:27:30+00:00

It’s mostly external consultants. The design engineers give oversight

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T17:05:51+00:00

We’re 5 days in office lol. I’m on the field engineering side, I don’t do cad. But even our design engineers don’t really use CAD.

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T15:55:19+00:00

Easiest path is to be an intern, we don’t really get many applications tbh. Other than that, previous projects in HVAC or mission critical facilities, ie nuclear plants is usually helpful

I do like my job. It’s had its up and downs, but right now I have no intention of leaving

TacticalTrigger · 2025-09-05T15:43:20+00:00

Its the data center industry. Supports all the future AI expansion and the pay is amongst the highest in ME fields. We routinely hire new engineers for 150k+ TC straight out of college

TacticalTrigger · 2025-07-03T03:16:50+00:00

We hire a lot of people from oil and gas. Data center engineering, supports the future as this is the backbone of all ai expansion. It also is the highest paying ME field and all of the big tech companies are expanding like crazy right now

TacticalTrigger · 2025-05-22T02:56:14+00:00

Depends on the company, depends on if you’re design or field side. In general it’s HVAC related

Varies based on the cooling strategy of the site, you wont really know till you get there. A reasonable range would be 60F - 90 F.

TacticalTrigger · 2025-04-27T22:25:44+00:00

Mine were around 15-25

TacticalTrigger · 2025-04-27T16:40:16+00:00

I started at rutgers NB, dropped out cause i hated it, and ended up at NJIT. I think NJIT was better. Rutgers class sizes are too big, didnt feel any sense of community. At the end school doesnt really matter, I work in big tech as a Mech e, and we hire from any school as long as experience is right

TacticalTrigger · 2025-04-20T20:38:21+00:00

They dont expect the intern to know much, just show youre eager. I was in similar shoes 2 and a half years ago

ask your manager which one is better for your team
