Job Description
If you enjoy validating how complex systems perform in real-world conditions - where mechanical, electrical, and controls all intersect - this role offers the opportunity to ensure liquid cooling products perform as intended in customer applications.
Key Responsibilities
- Lead the development and execution of application validation strategies aligned with customer requirements and product roadmaps.
- Define validation approaches that simulate real-world operating conditions, including environmental extremes, load variability, and system interactions.
- Ensure alignment between application validation, DVT, and NPDI milestones.
- Lead and develop a team of application validation engineers, fostering strong technical capability in system-level testing and cross-disciplinary validation.
- Provide direction on validation methodologies, test planning, and execution priorities.
- Build team expertise in controls validation, system integration, and application-based testing.
- Oversee validation activities that span mechanical, electrical, and controls systems, ensuring proper interaction across all subsystems.
- Ensure testing covers dynamic operating conditions such as startup, shutdown, transient loads, and off-design scenarios.
- Validate system integration with customer infrastructure, including facility water systems, controls interfaces, and IT loads.
- Lead first-of-kind testing initiatives with customers and partners, validating new system designs in real-world or simulated environments.
- Ensure customer requirements are translated into executable validation plans and successfully demonstrated through testing.
- Support technical discussions with customers regarding system performance, behavior, and application-specific considerations.
- Oversee validation of controls algorithms, sequencing logic, and system responses under normal and fault conditions.
- Ensure proper interaction between sensors, actuators, firmware, and mechanical systems.
- Drive resolution of issues related to control stability, fault handling, and system response.
- Ensure validation plans include failure mode and edge-case testing, such as sensor failures, flow disruptions, and thermal excursions.
- Validate system robustness and recovery under abnormal or degraded operating conditions.
- Partner with engineering teams to support FMEA and reliability improvement efforts.
- Partner with product management, systems engineering, DVT, and manufacturing teams to ensure application readiness throughout NPDI.
- Provide application-focused input into design reviews, highlighting risks and validation gaps.
- Ensure traceability between customer requirements, validation activities, and test results.
- Work closely with lab engineering to ensure test infrastructure supports application-level validation needs.
- Define requirements for test setups, instrumentation, and environmental simulation to replicate real-world conditions.
- Support planning for lab expansion and capability development aligned with application validation needs.
- Drive structured root-cause analysis for application-related issues identified during testing or early deployment.
- Implement improvements in validation methods, test coverage, and execution efficiency.
- Establish KPIs for application validation effectiveness, including issue detection, cycle time, and test coverage.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or related field (Master’s preferred).
- 8+ years of experience in product validation, application engineering, or system-level testing.
- 3+ years of experience leading engineering teams or technical programs.
- Strong understanding of thermal-fluid systems, controls, and electromechanical integration.
- Experience working across disciplines (mechanical, electrical, firmware/controls).
- Experience supporting NPDI or structured product development processes.
- Strong communication, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
- Experience with liquid cooling systems, CDUs, or thermal management technologies.
- Familiarity with controls systems, PLCs, or embedded firmware validation.
- Experience validating systems across environmental and operating ranges.
- Experience working directly with OEM customers or partners on system validation.
- Knowledge of FMEA, reliability engineering, and failure mode validation.
- OUR CORE PRINCIPALS : Safety . Integrity. Respect. Teamwork. Inclusion.
