Job summary

NVIDIA is seeking a Senior Data Center Cooling Systems Engineer to advance 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 researchers.

The role requires a Master’s degree and 12+ years in data center cooling, with hands-on experience in single-phase liquid cooling, pumped refrigeration, and CFD tools.

Qualifications

• Master's degree or equivalent experience in relevant field.
• Over 12 years of experience in data center cooling and thermal systems.
• Strong knowledge of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, heat transfer, and refrigeration cycles.
• Experience with direct liquid cooling and pumped refrigeration.
• Experience with cooling equipment and plant controls.
• Experience with CFD or fluid-network modeling tools.

Responsibilities

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