• Lead TCS SFN design activities from concept through product launch, ensuring performance and manufacturability.
• Develop standardized, reusable liquid cooling modules including headers, manifolds, valves, hoses, fittings, and expansion tanks.
• Create and maintain Creo models, assemblies, and design libraries for liquid cooling systems.
• Perform system sizing and analysis including flow balancing, pressure drop, pump and valve selection, and loop analysis
• Oversee prototype builds and validation testing including pressure, leak, thermal, cleanliness, and condensation testing.
• Manage BOMs, drawings, and engineering changes in PLM systems.
• Collaborate with global engineering, operations, supply chain, and quality teams to support product roadmap goals.
• Mentor engineers and drive consistency, reuse, and continuous improvement across NPDI and ETO programs.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Ten or more years of experience in piping and fluid systems, preferably in data center liquid cooling, HVAC, hydronics, or process cooling, with TCS SFN experience strongly preferred.
• Expert proficiency in PTC Creo and strong working knowledge of PLM systems.
• Proven experience leading NPDI programs and cross functional engineering teams.
• Hands on experience with system validation and testing.
• Knowledge of ASME and ASHRAE standards for liquid cooling and piping systems.
