Job Description Global Technical Lead

• Liquid Cooling (TCS/SFN) Role Overview Seeking a Global Technical/Engineering Lead with expertise in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) or broader piping and fluid systems to establish global engineering ownership and drive alignment across regions.

The role is responsible for leading NPDI projects for TCS/SFN, setting global design standards, ensuring consistency across Westerville, Monterrey, India, and China, and mentoring engineers to deliver next-generation liquid cooling distribution solutions. This position requires the ability to coordinate global teams and projects, travel as necessary, and ensure tight integration across NPDI, Application Engineering, and ETO activities, while owning processes and tools that streamline layout creation, quoting, and product development. Key Responsibilities Lead TCS/SFN design deliverables through all NPDI stages, from concept to product launch, ensuring global consistency, technical robustness, and manufacturability. Define and develop global TCS/SFN standards and reusable modules (headers, manifolds, valves, fittings, hoses, expansion tanks, filters, quick disconnects) to be applied consistently across regions. Launch and coordinate a global SFN engineering team across Westerville, Monterrey, India, and China, assign accountable tasks per project and ensure global alignment. Create and manage PTC Creo models, design libraries, and assemblies for TCS/SFN components and systems. Perform system sizing and validation, flow balancing, pressure drop, NPSH margin, valve Cv selection, and pump/loop analysis. Oversee prototype builds, validation test plans, and execution (pressure, leak, flow/thermal, cleanliness, condensation/dew point). Work in PLM systems (e.g., Oracle PD Cloud, Windchill) to manage BOMs, drawings, engineering changes, and product documentation. Collaborate cross-functionally with global engineering, operations, supply chain, and quality to align TCS/SFN design with product roadmap goals. Ensure integration across Application Engineering, NPDI, and ETO projects to drive global consistency, reuse, and customer alignment. Drive supplier engagement, define specifications, support RFQs, and validate supplier designs for manufacturability and cost effectiveness. Provide technical ownership of future configurator and rapid layout tools (e.g., CPQ-Creo integration, Revit) to streamline quoting and design processes globally. Mentor and develop engineers across regions, and review custom order learnings to feed back into NPDI modules and roadmap planning. Ensure adherence to

ASME/ASHRAE

standards and internal global design guidelines for liquid-cooled piping systems. Required Qualifications Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering. 8 plus years of experience in piping and fluid systems, preferably in data center liquid cooling, HVAC, hydronics, or process cooling, with direct experience in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) highly desirable. Expert proficiency with PTC Creo for assemblies, layouts, routing, and detailed drawings. Strong working knowledge of PLM systems (e.g., Oracle PD Cloud, Windchill) for BOM management, engineering change control, and design lifecycle management. Proven record of leading NPDI projects using Stage Gate or equivalent processes, including integration across Application Engineering, NPDI, and ETO workflows. Hands-on validation experience including pressure/leak testing, flow and thermal testing, cleanliness protocols, and condensation/dew point checks. Knowledge of ASME and ASHRAE guidelines for liquid cooling and piping systems. Deep expertise in DFM/DFA principles, weld/braze methods, and supplier fabrication processes. Strong documentation skills, including preparation of PFDs, P&IDs, test reports, engineering change orders, and sustaining handoffs. Excellent English communication skills (written and verbal). Demonstrated ability to lead and align global engineering teams across regions, with willingness to travel internationally as needed. Strong leadership, organizational, and collaboration skills. Proven ability to define and own engineering tools and configurators that enable rapid layout creation, quoting, and design reuse. Preferred Skills Familiarity with tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit MEP, or SpaceClaim for layout coordination and rapid concept visualization. Proficiency in hydraulic modeling for advanced loop balancing and thermal/fluid sensitivity analysis. Exposure to CFD tools for detailed system modeling and optimization. Experience overseeing prototype builds, FAT/SAT, and validation reporting. The successful candidate will embrace Vertiv's Core Principals & Behaviors to help execute our Strategic Priorities.
