## Description

At Trane Technologies, you will help validate and scale the cooling systems powering the next generation of AI infrastructure. As AI, high-performance computing, and hyperscale data centers push thermal limits beyond what traditional systems can support, our liquid cooling technologies are enabling a fundamental shift in how data centers are designed and operated.

We are seeking a hands-on Laboratory Technician (Engineering Technician) to play a critical role in design validation, rapid prototyping, and performance optimization of advanced liquid cooling solutions. Reporting to the Director of R&D, you will work across component, system, and rack-level environments, contributing directly to product development and real-world deployment readiness.

This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond executing test procedures and into owning complex validation environments, influencing engineering decisions, and working on cutting-edge infrastructure at scale., What You'll Do

 * Own R&D lab testing and validation of liquid cooling solutions from component-level to system-level
 * Build, configure, and operate complex test systems, including fluid loops, sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition platforms
 * Partner with engineering to design, modify, and optimize experimental setups
 * Execute and adapt test plans in a fast-paced, iterative R&D environment
 * Troubleshoot and debug integrated systems, identifying root causes across mechanical, thermal, and fluid domains
 * Analyze and interpret data to identify performance trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities
 * Contribute to test automation and efficiency improvements, including scripting, controls, or process enhancements where applicable
 * Maintain high standards for data integrity, documentation, and repeatability
 * Ensure compliance with safety standards and operational protocols

Technical Scope & Tools

You will gain hands-on experience with:

 * Data acquisition systems (DAQ, LabVIEW, PLC-based controls, or similar)
 * System-level debugging of fluid, thermal, and mechanical systems
 * Rack-level test environments simulating real-world data center conditions
 * Integration of cooling systems with broader infrastructure environments

What You Own

 * End-to-end execution and reliability of test setups and validation workflows
 * Accuracy, quality, and usability of experimental data
 * Readiness and performance of lab infrastructure and equipment
 * Continuous improvement of lab processes, scalability, and efficiency

What Success Looks Like

 * You independently build and execute complex test environments
 * Your data directly informs and improves engineering design decisions
 * You proactively identify issues and drive solutions end-to-end
 * You improve lab efficiency, scalability, and repeatability over time
 * You operate effectively in a high-speed, evolving R&D environment
