You will work across rack, facility, and campus infrastructure to improve cooling performance, energy use, water use, reliability, acoustics, and heat reuse. We seek an expert engineer with expertise in one or more areas, including single-phase liquid cooling, refrigeration, pumped two-phase cooling, facility cooling, heat rejection, energy and water optimization, or waste-heat recovery. Candidates need not be knowledgeable in every field. What You'll Be Doing: * Develop and evaluate single-phase liquid-cooling and pumped refrigeration systems for high-density computing. * Link rack-level cooling needs with facility cooling, heat rejection, and plant controls. * Use engineering analysis and simulation to study thermal performance, fluid flow, pressure, controls, and system response. * Compare build options based on energy use, water consumption, reliability, footprint, noise, cost, and heat-reuse potential. * Partner with suppliers and research collaborators to advance cooling and heat-rejection products. * Plan tests, review results, and compare simulation predictions with measured performance. * Turn technical findings into build requirements, reference architectures, supplier specifications, and technology roadmaps. ## Related Videos - [AI Factories at Scale](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1139-ai-factories-at-scale) - [The Sustainability Race: AI's Promises, Pitfalls and Potential](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/100155-the-sustainability-race-ai-s-promises-pitfalls-and-potential) - [Cloud Vendor Lock-In - Is it just a new version of the Database Abstraction Layers?](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1185-cloud-vendor-lock-in-is-it-just-a-new-version-of-the-database-abstraction-layers) - [Java Meets AI: Empowering Spring Developers to Build Intelligent Apps](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1554-java-meets-ai-empowering-spring-developers-to-build-intelligent-apps) - [Building the Nervous System of AI - Michael Kagan (NVIDIA)](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/2133-building-the-nervous-system-of-ai-michael-kagan-nvidia) - [Coffee with Developers - Stephen Jones - NVIDIA](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/1303-coffee-with-developers-stephen-jones-nvidia) ## Related Articles - [A Guide to Green Tech and Green IT Careers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/374-a-guide-to-green-tech-and-green-it-careers) - [How We Built a Worry-Free System That Runs for 10+ Years – And What We’d Do Again](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/751-how-we-built-a-worry-free-system-that-runs-for-10-years-and-what-we-d-do-again) - [Data Engineer Salary UK](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/253-data-engineer-salary-uk) - [Best US AI Conferences for CTOs in 2026: Build vs. Buy, Vendor Evaluation, and Peer Intelligence](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/736-best-us-ai-conferences-for-ctos-in-2026-build-vs-buy-vendor-evaluation-and-peer-intelligence) - [Highest Paying Tech Companies for Developers](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/220-highest-paying-tech-companies-for-developers) - [6 Emerging Technologies We’ll Learn About in 2025](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/magazine/381-6-emerging-technologies-we-ll-learn-about-in-2025)
