Senior Hardware Development Engineer

Nordran accelerates AI infrastructure by making liquid cooling chemistry measurable and controllable. Our patent-pending chemicalphysical sensing technology continuously monitors coolant stability in hyperscale AI data centers to detect degradation before it becomes downtime.

With pilot systems being deployed we are now turning our first hardware MVP into a robust manufacturable product for rollout across data centers.

We are hiring a Senior Hardware Development Engineer to own the mechanical electrical and firmware engineering required to productize and harden our sensing platform.

Tasks

• Own hardware productization from MVP to field-ready system across mechanics electronics firmware fluidics enclosures connectors and interfaces.
• Build test debug and iterate hands-on to improve robustness reliability manufacturability assembly serviceability and cost.
• Translate R&D learnings customer requirements and field failures into concrete design changes.
• Define and execute validation tests for leakage lifetime temperature vibration chemical compatibility sensor stability and deployment conditions.
• Set up and continuously improve in-house production processes including assembly workflows test procedures quality checks and manufacturing documentation.

Requirements

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering Mechatronics Electrical Engineering Embedded Systems or related field.
• Strong hands-on track record building and productizing physical hardware systems.
• Comfortable debugging across mechanical design electronics embedded firmware and system integration.
• Experience with sensors fluidics pumps valves enclosures or chemically exposed hardware is a strong plus.
• High ownership fast iteration speed clear communication and strong thinking in failure modes tolerances and real-world operating conditions.

Benefits

• Competitive compensation with meaningful stock options
• High ownership role in a fast-moving deep-tech startup.
• Work directly on hardware deployed with leading AI infrastructure customers.
• Modern lab and office in Berlin with the tools budget and autonomy to build fast.
• Compassionate low-politics culture with high ambition and high ownership.
