Artificial Intelligence (AI)HardwareInformation Technology
Responsibilities
Create and iterate designs for immersion cooling systems, including tanks, heat exchangers, fluid distribution systems, compute-rack interfaces, and structural components using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks)
Perform thermal simulations and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) analyses to optimize cooling performance and ensure compatibility with dielectric fluids and system requirements
Work alongside electrical and compute system engineering teams to develop interface requirements for servers, GPU trays, PSUs, backplanes, and cable routing inside immersion environments
Specify materials for immersion cooling systems, considering compatibility with dielectric coolants, corrosion resistance, and thermal conductivity
Collaborate with cross-functional teams to build prototypes, conduct performance testing, and validate designs under real-world compute loads and thermal conditions
Ensure seamless integration of immersion cooling systems with existing infrastructure, including servers, power supplies, compute architectures, and facility cooling loops
Support conceptual and detailed layout of immersed compute deployments, including chassis spacing, mounting strategies, and access/service tooling
Prepare detailed engineering drawings, specifications, and technical reports for manufacturing and quality assurance
Work closely with the balance of Engineering and Production teams to ensure solutions are commercially and production ready
Stay updated on advancements in immersion cooling and compute system design practices, contributing to sustainable energy-efficient cooling architectures
Ensure designs comply with industry standards, safety regulations, and customer specifications (e.g., ASHRAE, UL, or relevant thermal/compute hardware management standards)
Ability to assemble prototype designs, assist operations in developing assembly processes, and train deployment locations as needed
Qualification
Required
Engineering degree preferred but will consider work history with greater weight than degree
6+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in thermal management, compute hardware packaging, data center cooling, HVAC, or liquid/immersion cooling systems

Proficiency with CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks, Creo, or AutoCAD) and CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, or STAR-CCM+)
Strong understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics preferred
Familiarity with dielectric fluids, material compatibility, and sealing technologies for immersion systems is a plus
Experience collaborating with electrical/compute hardware engineers regarding board layout, airflow constraints, power distribution, and service pathways
Experience with FEA (Finite Element Analysis) for structural integrity is a plus
Ability and will to do hands on activities not limited to prototype building, testing, light assembly
Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail
Strong communication and teamwork abilities to collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including compute hardware designers, electrical engineers, and manufacturing
Ability to manage multiple projects and meet deadlines in a fast-paced environment
Preferred
Professional Engineer (PE) license or equivalent (optional)
Certifications in CFD or thermal management software (optional)
Knowledge of data center infrastructure, rack/server hardware design, power architecture, GPU computing platforms, or high-performance computing environments
Experience designing electronics packaging, chassis interfaces, or cable management systems for compute environments
Experience with sustainable design practices or energy-efficient cooling solutions
Familiarity with manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, injection molding, or additive manufacturing
