Solutions Mechanical Engineer Piping Design

Solutions Mechanical Engineer Liquid Cooling (TCS/SFN)

Role Overview

Seeking a Solutions Mechanical Engineer Liquid Cooling (TCS/SFN) with experience in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) or related piping and fluid systems (HVAC hydronics process cooling) to design and deliver custom solutions. The role focuses on supporting customer orders from initial quote preparation through to production-ready designs working globally with customers offering management and suppliers. Responsibilities include creating rapid concept layouts using configurator/automation tools refining them into manufacturable solutions and engaging suppliers early to balance cost quality and lead time. The role also requires ensuring layouts align with customer requirements while feeding lessons learned into NPDI standards.

Key Responsibilities

• Collaborate with customers and offering management to define TCS/SFN or related piping system requirements design criteria and constraints.
• Generate rapid concept layouts of TCS/SFN systems including piping manifolds valves clamps and fittings to support timely and accurate quote preparation.
• Use and help refine rapid layout/quoting tools to streamline CPQ integration and improve speed and accuracy of proposals.
• Translate concept layouts into manufacturable designs using company standards and supplier capabilities.
• Work with suppliers early in the design process to confirm manufacturability cost targets and lead times and validate final builds through pressure/leak testing cleanliness verification and quality checks.
• Oversee the smooth transition from concept to production including documentation BOM creation and engineering change management in PLM systems (Oracle PD Cloud Windchill).
• Capture lessons learned and integrate improvements into standard NPDI TCS/SFN modules and design practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• 38 years of experience in piping/fluid systems preferably in data center liquid cooling HVAC hydronics or process cooling.
• Proficiency with Creo for detailed TCS/SFN design assemblies and engineering documentation.
• Familiarity with rapid concept and layout tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D Revit MEP or SpaceClaim for quick iteration and customer visualizations.
• Experience preparing layout drawings routing plans and BOMs for piping or liquid cooling systems.
• Knowledge of pressure testing leak detection and cleanliness requirements for fluid assemblies.
• Strong English communication skills for collaboration with customers offering teams and suppliers.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with global engineering teams.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with automation/configuration tools such as kBridge or similar for generating repeatable layouts and BOMs.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes for stainless-steel and plastic piping systems including welding bending clamping and joining methods.
• Understanding of fluid system components such as manifolds quick disconnects strainers expansion tanks balancing valves and sensors.
• Ability to perform system balancing pressure drop calculations and valve Cv selection.
• Familiarity with NPDI Stage-Gate or other structured product development processes.
• Hands-on involvement in prototype builds FAT/SAT and validation reporting.
