Where is the work:

As a Senior Mechanical Engineer at Trane Technologies, you will work as the lead mechanical engineer dedicated exclusively to our Liquid Stack product portfolio. You will serve as a senior member of a high-performing product development team, leading the mechanical design and development of coolant distribution units (CDU) and advanced thermal management solutions for the rapidly growing data center market. This position offers the opportunity to guide projects from early concept and feasibility through prototype, production, and sustaining, while delivering durable, cost-effective, and high-performing solutions.

You will apply deep expertise in structural design, sheet metal design, piping design, systems design, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis to solve complex technical challenges and ensure product quality, reliability, and compliance. Working across cross-functional teams, you will provide technical leadership, drive continuous improvement, and support innovative product enhancements that advance sustainability goals.

What you will do:

• Own mechanical architecture for new skidded and modular CDU platforms as well as other thermal management solutions in the datacenter market.
• Establish CAD standards, drawing standards, BOM conventions, and design-review practices.
• Lead the mechanical design effort from concept through release to manufacturing.
• Application of thermodynamics and fluid dynamics thru pumps, pipes, valves, braze plates, filters, manifolds, and other miscellaneous components.
• Mechanical design and component integration using GD&T, CAD, prints, specifications, DFMEA, and validation methods.
• Application of materials science to design and specify metallic and elastomeric components.
• Work with the CFD and FEA engineers to design and validate solutions.
• Work with electrical, PLM, controls, and systems engineers to integrate sensors, fail safe devices, redundancy, and automation solutions.
• Work with test personnel to validate and test products.
• Understand and apply industry standards ASME, IBC/IMC, UL/CSA, CE, OSHA, Open Compute Project, and ASHRAE to products.
• Partner with Hong Kong engineering team on global design activities.
• Drive design-for-manufacturability and design-for-serviceability.
• Travel: ~5 to 15%

What you will bring:

• Bachelor's in Mechanical Engineering; 10+ years industrial mechanical design

• Experience working through the full product lifecycle for new product development (Concept design to detailed design to design validation to commercialization)

• Deep ASME piping and US data center / industrial standards knowledge

• Experience in HVAC, industrial equipment, or a manufacturing environment.

• Experience with pumps, piping, valves, skidded products, and metal enclosures.
• Proficiency in CAD software such as PTC Creo, Solid Works, Inventor, or similar design platforms.
• Strong understanding of GD&T (ASME Y14.5), design for manufacturability/ serviceability, tolerance analysis, engineering change management, and PLM, ERP, or document control systems.
