Role 

WHAT YOU'LL DO: 

This Mechanical Engineering Technologist role focuses on the innovative design and development of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) for direct liquid cooling systems. The position involves leading the entire design lifecycle from concept to testing, collaborating with various teams and partners, and continuously improving product designs for enhanced performance and manufacturability. This role requires a strong mechanical engineering background, proficiency in CAD and simulation tools, and excellent communication skills.

Responsibilities: 

• Lead the complete design and development of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs), considering factors like how heat moves, fluid flow, sensor placement, cable organization, and how easy they are to manufacture.
• Work closely with core teams, customers, and industry partners to ensure our CDUs fit well into the overall cooling system designs and that projects run smoothly.
• Continuously look for ways to make our CDU designs better, improve how they're made, and choose better materials to make them more efficient and reliable.
• Oversee the building and testing of CDU prototypes, run experiments, collect data, and refine designs based on the results to achieve the desired thermal and mechanical performance.
• Create detailed design documents, reports, and presentations to clearly explain design ideas, test results, and recommendations to internal teams and external stakeholders. 

Who You Are 

Basic Qualifications: 

• Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology or equivalent.
• Minimum of 5+ years of relevant experience in mechanical design engineering.
• Proficiency in using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) to create detailed mechanical designs & drawings.
• Proven understanding of designing components for mass production using various manufacturing methods (e.g., sheet metal, machining, casting, injection molding, and welded assemblies).
• Advanced knowledge of sheet metal design and manufacturing.
• Ability to apply engineering principles to the design release process (e.g., GD&T and statistical tolerance analysis).
• Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, especially as they relate to heat transfer and fluid flow in cooling systems.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Ability to apply engineering principles to the design release process (e.g., GD&T and statistical tolerance analysis).
• Strong sense of urgency and responsiveness.
• Ability to lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems.
• Capacity to collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams and external partners.
• Aptitude for continuous improvement in design and manufacturing processes. 

Skills: 

• Proficiency in using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) for detailed mechanical designs & drawings.
• Experience with rapid prototyping manufacturing techniques and testing of thermal/mechanical components; familiarity with lab equipment for data collection (Preferred).
• Experience with hose and cable routing in a 3D CAD environment (Preferred).
• Excellent time management skills and problem-solving capabilities.
• Strong organizational skills.
• Effective verbal, written, and interpersonal communication skills.
