Jake Davis
Mechanical Engineer, Data Center Design Engineering & Construction, MetaJake contributes to liquid-cooling design pathfinding and to the qualification of coolants for technical cooling system (TCS) loops, work that spans fluid selection, materials compatibility, sampling and monitoring practice, and the test methods used to demonstrate that a cooling system will hold up over its service life. He currently leads Meta's contribution to a multi-organization pilot campaign evaluating coolant compatibility in real-world liquid-cooling loops, developing the simulated-service test methodology alongside the results.
He brings seven years of research together with more than a decade of hands-on design, commissioning, and operations experience across the data center and semiconductor industries. Before joining Meta's Data Center Design organization, Jake served in Meta's Data Center Operations organization, and earlier at Intel as an Industrial Waste Systems Engineer and as Chief Technologist for a reclamation facility that treated industrial wastewater to ultrapure water (UPW) standards — sectors that have managed large-scale fluid and water systems for decades, and a perspective he draws on directly in thinking about liquid cooling reliability.
Jake holds a Ph.D. and a B.S. in Chemical Engineering from the University of Arizona. His grounding in electrochemistry and water chemistry informs his work translating fluid-chemistry fundamentals into practical cooling design.
