Global Technical/Engineering Lead — Liquid Cooling (TCS/SFN)

Global Technical Lead Liquid Cooling (TCS/SFN)

Role Overview

Seeking a Global Technical/Engineering Lead with expertise in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) or broader piping and fluid systems to establish global engineering ownership and drive alignment across regions. The role is responsible for leading NPDI projects for TCS/SFN setting global design standards ensuring consistency across Westerville Monterrey India and China and mentoring engineers to deliver next-generation liquid cooling distribution solutions. This position requires the ability to coordinate global teams and projects travel as necessary and ensure tight integration across NPDI Application Engineering and ETO activities while owning processes and tools that streamline layout creation quoting and product development.

Key Responsibilities

• Lead TCS/SFN design deliverables through all NPDI stages from concept to product launch ensuring global consistency technical robustness and manufacturability.
• Define and develop global TCS/SFN standards and reusable modules (headers manifolds valves fittings hoses expansion tanks filters quick disconnects) to be applied consistently across regions.
• Launch and coordinate a global SFN engineering team across Westerville Monterrey India and China assign accountable tasks per project and ensure global alignment.
• Create and manage PTC Creo models design libraries and assemblies for TCS/SFN components and systems.
• Perform system sizing and validation flow balancing pressure drop NPSH margin valve Cv selection and pump/loop analysis.
• Oversee prototype builds validation test plans and execution (pressure leak flow/thermal cleanliness condensation/dew point).
• Work in PLM systems (e.g. Oracle PD Cloud Windchill) to manage BOMs drawings engineering changes and product documentation.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with global engineering operations supply chain and quality to align TCS/SFN design with product roadmap goals.
• Ensure integration across Application Engineering NPDI and ETO projects to drive global consistency reuse and customer alignment.
• Drive supplier engagement define specifications support RFQs and validate supplier designs for manufacturability and cost effectiveness.
• Provide technical ownership of future configurator and rapid layout tools (e.g. CPQ-Creo integration Revit) to streamline quoting and design processes globally.
• Mentor and develop engineers across regions and review custom order learnings to feed back into NPDI modules and roadmap planning.
• Ensure adherence to ASME/ASHRAE standards and internal global design guidelines for liquid-cooled piping systems.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• 1218 years of experience in piping and fluid systems preferably in data center liquid cooling HVAC hydronics or process cooling with direct experience in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) highly desirable.
• Expert proficiency with PTC Creo for assemblies layouts routing and detailed drawings.
• Strong working knowledge of PLM systems (e.g. Oracle PD Cloud Windchill) for BOM management engineering change control and design lifecycle management.
• Proven record of leading NPDI projects using Stage Gate or equivalent processes including integration across Application Engineering NPDI and ETO workflows.
• Hands-on validation experience including pressure/leak testing flow and thermal testing cleanliness protocols and condensation/dew point checks.
• Knowledge of ASME and ASHRAE guidelines for liquid cooling and piping systems.
  Deep expertise in DFM/DFA principles weld/braze methods and supplier fabrication processes.
• Strong documentation skills including preparation of PFDs P&IDs test reports engineering change orders and sustaining handoffs.
• Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal).
• Demonstrated ability to lead and align global engineering teams across regions with willingness to travel internationally as needed.
• Strong leadership organizational and collaboration skills.
• Proven ability to define and own engineering tools and configurators that enable rapid layout creation quoting and design reuse.

Preferred Skills

• Familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D Revit MEP or SpaceClaim for layout coordination and rapid concept visualization.
• Proficiency in hydraulic modeling for advanced loop balancing and thermal/fluid sensitivity analysis.
• Exposure to CFD tools for detailed system modeling and optimization.
• Experience overseeing prototype builds FAT/SAT and validation reporting.
