Duties:

• Create thermal simulation models from CAD to simulate HVAC systems for rack level, room level, and clean room performance.
• Program complex fan and pump control systems using large fields of sensor inputs, setting individual thermal limits, and setting fan and pump speed hysteresis controls for smooth steady state operation.
• Design, improve, and manage manufacturing processes to maximize efficiency and product quality in high density burn in rooms.
• Optimize liquid cooled production lines, troubleshooting equipment failures, implementing quality control standards, and designing new manufacturing systems and workstations.
• Control costs for liquid production facilities.
• Interpret sensor log data and analyse presenting into human readable formats but also according to various customers specifications using engineering principles.
