We are currently looking for a Senior R&D Engineer to drive the advancement of Quick Disconnect Coupling (QDC) solutions tailored for fluid conveyance and data center thermal management. Your daily contributions will involve hands-on prototype creation, rigorous lab evaluation, and detailed technical analysis, all while collaborating with diverse engineering groups to validate new technologies. Core Responsibilities Oversee research and development projects, ranging from initial feasibility assessments and conceptual design to the creation and testing of prototypes. Conduct systematic engineering experiments to help ensure the team makes data-driven decisions based on accurate analysis. Design and verify the integrity of pressure-boundary parts and sealing systems to ensure optimal flow performance and cleanliness. Facilitate the assembly of prototypes by partnering with internal departments like Manufacturing and Quality, as well as external vendors. Create comprehensive technical documentation, including risk evaluations, design reports, and formal presentations. Drive organizational growth by contributing to innovation efforts and protecting new intellectual property. Foster a culture of excellence by providing mentorship and guidance to junior staff and technicians. Required Qualifications An advanced degree, specifically a Master's or Ph.D., in Materials, Mechanical, or Product Engineering. Proven background in product development, laboratory experimentation, or the design of fluid handling hardware. Deep technical expertise in mechanical design principles, pressure testing, material science, and sealing technologies. Demonstrated proficiency in root cause analysis, structured problem-solving methodologies, and Lean/DFSS practices. Strong interpersonal skills to help bridge communication gaps between departments and translate complex technical data for stakeholders. Familiarity with CAD software, data analysis tools, and laboratory testing instrumentation is highly desirable. Technical Proficiencies Thermal Management Fluid Conveyance
