The Impact You'll Make

 

Are you an engineer who wants to own the entire development journey of a new technology? As our new Lead Engineer, you will be at the forefront of innovation, taking cutting-edge liquid cooling solutions from an early concept all the way to a fully industrialized, customer-ready product.

 

This is a unique opportunity to work at the intersection of mechanical, electrical, and thermal engineering. You will be a key technical partner for our customers, translating their most complex challenges into elegant, high-performance systems that will shape the future of thermal management.

 

You won’t just be designing a component; you will be the driving force behind a complete system. Your work will directly impact the performance, reliability, and efficiency of next-generation technologies in data centers, power electronics, and high-performance computing.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Lead the end-to-end development of advanced liquid cooling systems, guiding them from the initial concept and design phases through to production readiness.
  • Act as a key technical partner for our customers, translating their needs into detailed engineering specifications and robust system architectures.
  • Drive critical system-level design decisions, optimizing for thermal efficiency, fluid dynamics, manufacturability, and reliability.
  • Define and lead the complete validation and testing strategy, using structured problem-solving to resolve technical challenges and ensure flawless performance.
  • Lead cross-functional technical reviews, ensuring seamless integration and collaboration with our component, manufacturing, and supply chain teams.

What We're Looking For

  • A Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Thermal, Mechatronic, or a related engineering field, with at least 5 years of experience in system or sub-system development.
  • Deep expertise in fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and thermal system design, preferably with experience in liquid cooling.
  • Proficiency with CAD software (like SolidWorks or Creo) and familiarity with simulation tools for CFD and thermal analysis.
  • Proven experience working directly with customers to define technical requirements and develop solutions.
  • Excellent communication skills, with the ability to present complex technical information to both internal teams and external partners.

What You'll Get from Us

 

  • We promote from within and support your learning with mentoring, training, and access to global opportunities.
  • You’ll have flexibility, autonomy, and support to do your best work while maintaining a healthy work-life balance. Your well-being matters to us.
