 * Preferred: Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related thermal sciences field.

Core Knowledge & Expertise

 * 5+ years of experience in mechanical engineering, refrigeration, thermal management, HVAC, or a related field
 * Theoretical Refrigeration (Essential): Extensive foundational knowledge of refrigeration cycles, heat transfer, and energy conversion systems is strictly required to create quality support documents.
 * Fluid Dynamics: Deep familiarity with single-phase and two-phase heat transfer mechanisms is highly valued.
 * Data Center Infrastructure: Functional knowledge of modern data center cooling topologies, including direct-to-chip liquid cooling, immersion systems, and liquid-to-air and liquid-to-liquid heat rejection, is highly advantageous.

Professional Competencies

 * Communication: Exceptional technical writing and communication skills, with a proven track record of authoring clear, concise engineering documentation, manuals, and customer-facing reports.
 * Adaptability: Proven ability to independently master new engineering specifications, product updates, or internal platforms and rapidly apply them to active documentation projects.
 * Detail Orientation: Strong interpersonal skills to work effectively within multidisciplinary teams to gather information, combined with a rigorous commitment to documentation accuracy and clarity.

## Description

Include but are not limited to:

 * Technical Documentation & IOMs: Lead the drafting, editing, and continuous improvement of general equipment documentation, specifically comprehensive Installation, Operation, and Maintenance (IOM) manuals for advanced thermal management infrastructure.
 * Documentation Process & Submittals: Develop, establish, and optimize structured documentation workflows, including the creation, review, and management of standardized engineering submittal packages for customer approval and contractor use.
 * Sequence of Operations (SOO): Develop and refine precise SOO documents. You will be responsible for ensuring that complex control logic, specific temperature sensor identifiers, and exact system deactivation thresholds are accurately captured and clearly explained for field use.
 * Thermodynamic Translation: Analyze heat transfer and energy conversion components-including advanced heat exchanger designs, refrigeration systems, and heat pumps-to accurately describe their functionality in user-facing support documents.
 * Project Management: Independently develop, review, and edit comprehensive project and customer reports. Maintain clear visibility over timelines, deliverables, and project milestones using collaborative project management platforms.
 * Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work closely with the R&D and product development teams to extract technical specifications and utilize in-house documentation tools to support continuous product optimization.
