• Collaborate with customer and partner teams to integrate fluid systems into overall product designs.
• Conduct fluid flow simulations, analyses, and tests to ensure efficient and reliable performance of fluid systems under various operating conditions.
• Perform detailed calculations and analysis of fluid dynamics, pressure drops, thermal performance, and material compatibility.
• Develop and review engineering specifications, and documentation for fluid system and heat transfer components and assemblies, ensuring compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements.
• Assist in maintaining a strong best practice culture and driving additional foundational knowledge and IP through research.
• Identify technical gaps to advocate for research and development and lead research projects, maximizing product impact and benefit.
• Provide technical guidance and mentorship to junior engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and development.
• Participate in design reviews, presenting technical findings and recommendations to internal and external stakeholders.
• Contribute to the development of new product concepts and innovations in fluid system design, keeping abreast of industry trends and emerging technologies.
• Support the resolution of technical challenges and issues related to fluid systems throughout the product lifecycle.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

• Master's (Thesis required) degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• Minimum of 7 years of post-collegiate experience in designing and engineering fluid systems, preferably within the data center thermal management/ cooling, automotive, medical, or nuclear industries.
• Minimum of 3 years working at senior or principal engineer level in an industrial setting.
• Profound expertise in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer, with a strong foundation in engineering principles.
• Extensive experience in SolidWorks CAD, complex part and assembly drawings, GD&T and DFMs.
• Ability to independently develop product concepts, performance analysis and design experiments. Track record of new product development, preferably thermal fluid products.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to effectively troubleshoot and optimize fluid system performance.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills to convey complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical audiences.
