As demand for generative AI, high performance computing and cloud solutions rapidly expands, there has never been a more exciting time to join our team.

The Mechanical Engineer role focuses on the innovative design and development of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) for direct liquid cooling systems. The position involves leading the entire design lifecycle from concept to mass production, collaborating with various teams and partners, and continuously improving product designs for enhanced performance and manufacturability. This role requires a strong mechanical engineering background, proficiency in CAD and simulation tools, and excellent communication skills.

Work closely with core teams, customers, and industry partners to ensure our CDU designs are delivered on time, meeting and exceeding market needs

Lead the NPI design of Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) from concept through product launch and mass production

Detailed product design using principles of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and mechanical engineering with a focus on delivering high performance and high reliability designs

Create detailed engineering drawings, reports, design reviews, and other documentation to clearly explain convey design ideas, test results, and recommendations to internal teams and external stakeholders

Use advanced computer simulations to check and improve the performance of our CDU designs

Support rapid iteration of design concepts through technology assessment, feasibility analysis, and proofs of concept, oversee the building and testing of thermal, hydraulic, and integrated assembly prototypes for validation

Perform and support physical validation testing, collect and analyze performance and reliability data, and refine designs based on the results to achieve the desired thermal and mechanical performance

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or directly related discipline

Minimum of 5+ years of relevant mechanical engineering experience with 2+ years in a product design role

Proven understanding of designing parts and assemblies for mass production using various manufacturing methods (e.g., sheet metal, machining, casting, injection molding, and welded assemblies)

Understanding of fluid dynamics principles, especially as they relate to heat transfer and fluid flow in cooling systems

Understanding of DfX techniques; design for Manufacturing, Assembly, Reliability, Maintenance, Test, etc.

Proficiency in using CAD software (e.g., SolidWorks) for detailed mechanical designs & drawings

Experience with rapid prototyping manufacturing techniques and testing of thermal/mechanical components; familiarity with lab equipment for data collection (Preferred)

Strong problem-solving, analysis, and risk mitigation skills

Proven ability to apply engineering principles to the design release process: GD&T, statistical tolerance analysis, etc.

Ability to lead the design and development of complex mechanical systems

Aptitude for continuous improvement in design and manufacturing processes

Ability to perform advanced fluid mechanical, structural, and/or vibrational simulations and analyses

Vacation and flex days, and paid company-wide shutdown during the holiday season.

Comprehensive benefits including Dental, Drugs, Optical, Paramedical and Health Spending. Dress for your day – in a casual yet professional environment.

Retention rewards like “The Big Coffee Break” that reward tenure with additional vacation time and a monetary bonus.

Company-funded RRSP contributions to support your long-term financial goals.

Successful candidates for this position will be required to undergo background checks including criminal records check and education.
