Senior/Principle Technical Solutions Engineer - Data Center

Key Responsibilities: Serve as a senior pre-sales technical partner for strategic data center customers and work closely with Key Account Managers to advance major accounts, high-value projects, and critical business opportunities. Lead technical discovery and solution development by translating customer requirements into appropriate system architecture, product selection, configuration recommendations, and technical proposals. Provide technical expertise across a broad data center cooling portfolio, including chillers, central chilled-water systems, air-cooled solutions, liquid cooling/CDUs, fan walls, and precision air-conditioning systems. Advise customers on data center cooling architecture and application considerations, including power density, redundancy, reliability, energy efficiency, air/liquid cooling strategy, facility-water requirements, and high-density AI/GPU deployments. Lead or actively participate in customer technical presentations, design reviews, RFQ/RFP responses, bid support, technical clarifications, and solution workshops. Work directly with hyperscalers, colocation providers, consultants, EPC firms, general contractors, system integrators, and customer engineering teams to support project development and technical alignment. Collaborate closely with global product and R&D teams to communicate market requirements, customer feedback, competitive intelligence, and application needs, helping ensure that proposed solutions are technically sound and commercially competitive. Coordinate with sales, product, engineering, delivery, and after-sales teams throughout the project lifecycle to ensure continuity from pre-sales solution development through project execution and customer handoff. Develop and standardize reference architectures, application solutions, technical best practices, competitive comparisons, and representative project cases to support broader data center business growth. Act as a trusted technical advisor to customers and internal commercial teams, providing technical judgment on system design, product application, risk, performance, and solution differentiation.

Qualifications: Bachelor’s degree or above in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, Refrigeration, Energy and Power Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Automation, Mechatronics, or a related technical discipline.5+ years of relevant experience preferred, with strong experience in data center cooling, HVAC, central chilled-water systems, liquid cooling, mission-critical infrastructure, or related applications. Exceptional candidates with fewer years but highly relevant data center cooling experience may also be considered. Strong understanding of data center cooling system architecture, including air cooling, chilled-water systems, liquid cooling, direct-to-chip cooling, free cooling, and hybrid cooling strategies. Experience with one or more of the following is highly desirable: CDUs, rack-level liquid cooling, manifolds, cold plates, fan walls, CRAH/CRAC systems, chillers, heat exchangers, pumps, or central cooling plants. Experience supporting high-density racks, AI data centers, GPU clusters, HPC environments, or other mission-critical high-heat-density applications is strongly preferred. Demonstrated ability to independently perform customer requirement analysis, solution development, technical selection, system configuration, technical presentations, and technical clarification. Strong customer-facing communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical concepts clearly to both engineering and commercial stakeholders. Ability to operate effectively across sales, product, R&D, delivery, service, consultants, EPC partners, and customer technical organizations. Strong English communication skills for customer engagement, technical presentations, documentation, and cross-regional collaboration. Willingness to travel as required to support customer meetings, project development, technical workshops, and key opportunities.

Preferred Qualifications: Experience supporting hyperscalers, colocation providers, AI infrastructure companies, large cloud customers, or major data center operators. Experience developing or supporting integrated primary-side and secondary-side cooling solutions, rather than working exclusively at a single equipment or component level. Experience working directly with consulting engineers, EPC contractors, general contractors, MEP firms, system integrators, or major OEM partners. Hands-on or application experience with liquid cooling/CDUs, direct-to-chip cooling, fan walls, precision cooling, large-scale chilled-water plants, or high-density AI cooling solutions. Experience in technical sales, applications engineering, solution architecture, field applications, or customer-facing engineering roles within the data center or mission-critical cooling industry. Familiarity with competitive data center cooling technologies, system-level tradeoffs, application constraints, and emerging thermal-management trends.
