This position leads technical standards, test specifications, and certification for liquid-cooling universal quick disconnects used in data centers. The scope covers hand-mate UQD and blind-mate UQDB, sizes 02, 04, 06, and 08, on water or water–glycol systems.
You report to the Quality Director and work with design, manufacturing, and strategic customers. The work connects OCP requirements, NVIDIA AVL / RVL qualification, and customer procurement rules to standards, test evidence, and certification submissions. It calls for a current understanding of UQD applications and of how specifications and purchasing requirements are changing.
Responsibilities
- Standard formulation and certification: lead the formulation of product technical standards and test specifications. Interface with OCP, NVIDIA, and other certification bodies and strategic customers to complete industry-standard compliance and market-access certification.
- Supply chain qualification: apply OCP UQD V1.0, V2.0, and NVIDIA AVL / RVL qualification processes. Prepare compliance test reports and submission packages so that UQD products can be certified and listed in clients’ official procurement catalogs.
- Market trends and next-generation products: track global liquid-cooling technology, industry standards, and market movement, including miniaturization and blind-mate UQDB, changes in OCP standards, and hyperscaler purchasing trends. Lead pre-research and roadmap planning for the next generation.
- Plan and carry out, in-house or at a qualified laboratory, the tests those specifications require, including leakage, pressure, flow, durability, temperature, and blind-mate alignment, with a retest of the same samples after durability cycling.
- Complete a design FMEA before drawings are frozen, and carry the controls into inspection, lot traceability, and the compliance file.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in mechanical, fluid power, thermal, or materials engineering, or a related field.
- Eight years in electromechanical or fluid products, including three years on quick disconnects, valves, fluid connectors, or electronics liquid cooling. Five years is enough when the OCP liquid-cooling connector experience is already there.
- Knows the UQD market, applications, and trend: where hand-mate and blind-mate couplings are used on CDU, rack, server, and cold-plate loops; which sizes customers are buying; who the main suppliers are; and how demand and the OCP specification are changing.
- Has led leak, flow, pressure, and durability tests, and written a test specification another engineer can run.
Preferred
- Data-center liquid cooling, cold plates, coolant distribution units, or a product already built to OCP UQD / UQDB.
- Coolant compatibility with metals and seals, blind-mate design, or mating tests between suppliers.
