Job DescriptionJob Title: Sr DVT Engineer - Liquid CoolingJob 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
Senior DVT Engineer is responsible for executing Design Verification Testing (DVT) activities to ensure new liquid cooling products meet performance, reliability, and quality requirements. This role plays a key part across the NPDI (New Product Development & Introduction) lifecycle, supporting test planning, execution, data analysis, and issue resolution. The Senior DVT Engineer works cross-functionally to validate designs, improve product quality, and ensure successful product qualification.
This position requires collaboration across mechanical, electrical, controls, process, and manufacturing engineering in a fast-paced, world-class lab environment.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop and execute Design Verification Test (DVT) plans for new liquid cooling products.
- Translate product requirements and specifications into clear, testable validation methods.
- Perform and support performance testing (ASHRAE), reliability testing, and component-level validation.
- Support Factory Witness Testing (FWT) activities by preparing test setups, validating instrumentation, and ensuring systems meet predefined test conditions.
- Execute test procedures during FWT events and provide real-time technical support to ensure successful demonstration of product performance and functionality.
- Document test results and assist in resolving issues identified during FWT to ensure customer and internal acceptance criteria are met.
- Ensure accurate data collection, documentation, and reporting of test results.
- Support validation activities across all NPDI phases, including prototype builds, design validation, and product qualification.
- Contribute to design reviews by providing test data, insights, and risk assessments.
- Ensure traceability between product requirements and test results.
- Work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware/controls, manufacturing, and quality teams to validate product designs.
- Support issue resolution by identifying root causes and recommending corrective actions.
- Collaborate with lab and process engineering teams to support test setup and execution.
- Perform engineering calculations and analysis related to thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
- Compare test data to analytical models and support model validation efforts.
- Identify performance gaps and recommend design improvements.
- Support root-cause investigations for test failures and field issues using structured methods (8D, FMEA).
- Contribute to improvements in test methods, data quality, and lab processes.
- Assist in developing more efficient and repeatable validation practices.
Basic Requirements:
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
- 3-7 years of experience in product validation, test engineering, or thermal system development.
- Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.
- Ability to interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings.
- Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
- Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced development environment.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Familiarity with psychrometrics, refrigeration cycles (HCFC/HFC/HFO), and industry standard test methods.
- Working knowledge of 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar).
- Demonstrated success in delivering validated products through a structured NPDI process.
- International travel willingness (up to 20%).
