Responsibilities
- Develop and maintain hardware/firmware management services.
- Automate all aspects of the liquid cooling hardware lifecycle.
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define liquid cooling hardware requirements, specifications, and system architecture.
- Create and maintain accurate documentation of liquid cooling hardware designs, specifications, test procedures, and results.
- Analyze and optimize the performance of liquid cooling hardware systems, identify bottlenecks, and propose improvements for enhanced efficiency.
- Establish processes for internal liquid cooling hardware testing, deployment, and performance optimization.
- Optimize, test, and support rack-level liquid cooling solutions, including in-rack CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) configurations.
- Work with liquid-to-air sidecars and remote CDUs to manage heat rejection and optimize thermal performance.
- Collaborate with data center facilities teams to integrate liquid cooling systems into broader infrastructure designs.
- Develop and implement monitoring, alerting, and control systems for liquid cooling components (e.g., pumps, valves, flow sensors).
- Interface with server vendors and OEMs to validate compatibility of hardware with liquid-cooled chassis and configurations.
Requirements
- Must have at least 4 years hands-on experience with in-rack CDUs, liquid-to-air heat exchangers, or end-of-row cooling units.
- In-depth knowledge of server hardware, components, and management technologies.
- Strong understanding of data center thermal design principles, including air and liquid cooling fundamentals.
- Familiarity with coolant types, thermal transfer mechanisms, and leak detection/mitigation techniques.
- Proficiency in Ansible/Python and experience with programmatically interacting with hardware using IPMI, SSH, or Redfish (preferably Redfish).
- Proven ability to collaborate with hardware and facility engineering teams to deliver integrated cooling solutions.
- Strong passion for automation and infrastructure scalability, with a commitment to continuous improvement.
- Excellent documentation skills and attention to detail.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities.
- Bachelor’s degree in Computer Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field.
Conditions
- The base salary range for this role is $120,000 to $242,000. The starting salary will be determined based on job-related knowledge, skills, experience, and market location.
- In addition to base salary, our total rewards package includes a discretionary bonus, equity awards, and a comprehensive benefits program (all based on eligibility).
