• Experience with control panels, system integration, testing and validation.
• Track record of taking products or technologies from concept through prototype and testing.
• Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Controls Engineering, Mechatronics or a related discipline.
• Strong communication skills and the ability to lead technical work independently.
• Data-centre liquid cooling or thermal-management systems.
• Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) or direct-to-chip cooling.
• Heat exchangers, coolant loops and temperature, pressure or flow control.
• CODESYS and IEC 61131-3.
• Modbus, Profinet, Ethernet/IP or other fieldbus protocols.
• Remote monitoring, connected products or intelligent diagnostics.
• SCADA or HMI development.
• New Product Development within an industrial or manufacturing environment.
