POSITION OBJECTIVE:
- Supplier Qualification: Lead the technical assessment and qualification of Chinese manufacturers for CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) and Fan Array/Wall systems.
- Technical Liaison: Act as the key technical bridge between the US post-processing team and Chinese partners to ensure alignment on specifications and quality standards.
- System Integration: Oversee the integration of Chinese-made CDU and Fan Array products into the global "Total Solution" (including Chillers or other heat management system.).
- Localization & Quality: Drive product localization and ensure all components meet international data center standards (ASHRAE, etc.).
RESPONSIBILITIES:
- Technical Audit: Conduct on-site technical audits of potential CDU and Fan Array suppliers. Evaluate their R&D capabilities, manufacturing processes, and testing facilities.
- Specification Alignment: Translate US technical requirements into detailed local engineering specs. Review and approve supplier technical drawings, P&IDs, and control logics.
- Testing & Validation: Lead Factory Acceptance Tests (FAT) and performance validation for CDU and Fan Array units. Focus on heat exchange efficiency, pressure drop, and fan curve accuracy.
- Cross-System Optimization: Collaborate with the US team to ensure seamless communication between the Chillers, the CDUs, and the Fan Array.
- Market Intelligence: Track advanced cooling technologies in the Chinese data center market (e.g., cold plate liquid cooling, immersion cooling) and provide insights to the US team.
- Project Management: Lead engineering-side projects from initial vendor selection to prototype delivery under aggressive schedules.
QUALIFICATIONS:
- Experience: At least 5 years of working experience in HVAC, Data Center Cooling, or Industrial Thermal Management systems.
- Education: Bachelor’s degree or above, majoring in Thermal Energy Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or Process Equipment and Control Engineering.
- Technical Expertise: Deep understanding of heat exchangers (Plate/Frame), pump control, and fan array technology. Familiar with liquid cooling loops (Primary/Secondary circuits) and flow control logic. Experience with Data Center standards (e.g., Uptime Institute, ASHRAE TC 9.9).
- Language: Excellent written and oral English skills are mandatory to collaborate with US-based stakeholders.
