Introduction
Brunel is partnered with a rapidly growing global technology manufacturer specializing in advanced liquid cooling solutions for AI infrastructure, high-performance computing, enterprise servers, and data centres.
What are you going to do
- Own the complete mechanical technical solution for Technical Cooling System (TCS) infrastructure packages from concept through installation.
- Translate customer requirements into complete, buildable engineering solutions with clearly defined scope, interfaces, responsibilities, and deliverables.
- Lead the mechanical system design for piping headers, spool assemblies, valve trains, filtration systems, buffer and expansion tanks, drip trays, leak detection integration, and related mechanical infrastructure.
- Serve as the principal mechanical design authority on awarded projects while coordinating external engineering resources when specialized expertise is required.
- Lead detailed mechanical design activities for complex liquid cooling systems.
- Perform and oversee engineering analyses including piping stress, fluid dynamics, thermal expansion, pressure systems, and mechanical loading.
- Apply engineering best practices including GD&T, design-for-manufacturing, tolerance analysis, and engineering release processes.
- Ensure designs satisfy functional, manufacturing, serviceability, reliability, and regulatory requirements.
- Lead engineering design reviews, technical decision-making, and design approvals.
- Provide technical direction and mentorship to supporting designers and engineers.
- Develop and oversee complete engineering documentation including:
- P&IDs
- 3D CAD models and fabrication drawings
- Installation and interface drawings
- Bill of Materials (BOM) inputs
- As-built documentation
- Installation readiness packages
- Identify engineering risks early through DFMEA, Single Point of Failure analysis, and other structured engineering methodologies.
- Drive corrective actions through failure investigations and root cause analysis.
- Support prototype development, validation, commissioning, and product improvements.
- Ensure engineering solutions are safe, reliable, and scalable throughout the product lifecycle.
- Collaborate closely with manufacturing, production, quality, and service teams during product launches.
- Support installation and commissioning by defining mounting requirements, structural loading, alignment, and mechanical interfaces.
- Troubleshoot complex production and field issues through system-level analysis and corrective action planning.
- Partner with Supply Chain on component selection, supplier support, and cost optimization initiatives.
- Work closely with project management, manufacturing, quality, supply chain, and customer-facing teams.
- Coordinate external engineering consultants and specialized design resources when required.
- Support multiple concurrent engineering programs while maintaining quality, schedule, and technical excellence.
