DVT Engineering Lead High Density Liquid Cooling

Job Title: DVT Engineer Lead Liquid Cooling

Job Summary

If you thrive on solving complex engineering challenges through hands-on experimentation rigorous test engineering and technical leadership this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of liquid-cooling technology for AI-driven datacenters.

The DVT Engineer Lead is responsible for driving the Design Verification Testing strategy and quality assurance for next-generation liquid-cooling products. This role spans the entire NPDI (New Product Development & Introduction) lifecycle - from concept and design review to performance/reliability testing to product qualification. The DVT Lead provides technical direction ensures compliance with internal and industry standards and delivers validated high-quality products to market.

This position requires collaboration across mechanical electrical controls process and manufacturing engineering in a fast-paced world-class lab environment.

Key Responsibilities:

• Own and lead the creation approval and execution of Design Verification Test (DVT) plans for all new liquid-cooling products.
• Review and challenge product requirements/specifications to ensure testability completeness and alignment with customer needs.
• Plan schedule and oversee performance testing reliability testing safety testing and component-level qualification activities.
• Ensure accurate data capture documentation and reporting for internal reviews design updates and customer witness tests.
• Participate in every phase of NPDI including concept feasibility design reviews prototype validation pilot builds field trial support and readiness for mass production.
• Lead DVT sign-off and ensure all verification evidence meets internal quality standards.
• Support gate reviews by presenting test results risk assessments validation readiness and quality status.
• Work closely with mechanical electrical software/controls and manufacturing teams to validate designs identify issues and drive corrective actions.
• Partner with offering managers sourcing teams quality engineering and service teams for lifecycle improvements and supplier qualification.
• Collaborate with process and lab engineering to design and implement test facility upgrades instrumentation improvements and capacity expansions.
• Collaborate with firmware/controls teams to verify control algorithms fault handling and system responses.
• Ensure adherence to engineering standards safety protocols and lab procedures.
• Develop test methods automation improvements and data-analysis frameworks to accelerate validation and improve accuracy.
• Drive engineering analyses using thermodynamics heat transfer fluid mechanics and reliability engineering principles.
• Validate analytical and empirical performance models; contribute to data-driven design improvements.
• Lead investigations into design issues field failures and validation non-conformances.
• Support root-cause analysis using structured problem-solving approaches (8D FMEA Ishikawa).

Extended Responsibilities:

• Guide occasional use of CFD/FEA for test correlation and design critique.
• Support component verification testing for alternate suppliers or design changes.
• Represent DVT in design reviews customer witness testing and internal audits.

Basic Requirements:

• Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering Electrical Engineering or a closely related field.
• 5 plus years of engineering experience in product development test engineering or validation of thermal or electromechanical systems.
• Strong understanding of thermodynamics fluid mechanics and heat-transfer systems (water glycol refrigerant).
• Ability to interpret electrical schematics and P&IDs.
• Proven ability to lead test programs and manage multiple complex projects in a fast-paced environment.
• Strong technical writing data-analysis and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Demonstrated success in delivering validated products through a structured NPDI process.
• International travel willingness (up to 20%).
