Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Data Center Cooling Systems Engineer to help develop efficient liquid-cooling solutions for high-density computing across rack, facility, and campus infrastructure. You will improve cooling performance, energy and water use, reliability, acoustics, and heat reuse while collaborating with suppliers and research partners.

The role emphasizes translating engineering analysis into practical builds, test plans, and technical specifications, with extensive CFD and thermal

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field or equivalent experience.
• Over 12 years of experience in data center cooling, liquid cooling, thermal systems, or related areas.
• Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and refrigeration cycles.
• Experience with cooling equipment (CRUs, chillers, pumps, heat exchangers, towers, or dry coolers).
• Experience with CFD or fluid-network modeling tools such as CADence Reality DC Build, Ansys, Siemens STAR-CCM+, Flownex or similar.

Responsibilities

• Develop and evaluate single-phase liquid-cooling and pumped refrigeration systems for high-density computing.
• Link rack-level cooling with facility cooling, heat rejection, and plant controls.
• Use engineering analysis and simulation to study thermal performance, fluid flow, pressure, and system response.
• Compare build options based on energy use, water consumption, reliability, footprint, and heat reuse potential.
• Partner with suppliers and researchers to advance cooling and heat-rejection products.
• Plan tests, review results, and compare simulation predictions with measurements.
• Translate technical findings into build requirements, reference architectures, supplier specs, and roadmaps.
