Job Description

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:

* Bachelor's 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.
