Design and develop electrical circuits including transducer drivers, signal conditioning, and data acquisition electronics. System Integration Integrate sensors into data center high density cooling system to monitor cooling loops and manifolds. Collaborate with mechanical, firmware, and manufacturing teams from concept to commercialization, ensuring optimized sensor hardware and firmware integration. Signal Processing Develop and implement low-complexity algorithms for real-time peak detection and envelope detection to improve measurement accuracy and energy efficiency. Validation & Testing Lead Design Validation Testing (DVT), Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA), and Design for Manufacturing (DFM) to validate sensor performance in high-density cooling environments. Conduct simulation, prototyping, and validation of electrical designs under various operating conditions. Thermal & Fluid Analysis Perform thermofluidic and pressure-drop analyses to ensure sensors operate reliably under varying liquid cooling demands. Cross-Functional Collaboration Work with mechanical designers and vendors to manage the end-to-end lifecycle of cooling infrastructure components. Support flow calibration processes and provide technical assistance for field installation and commissioning. Documentation & Customer Engagement Maintain product documentation (drawings, specifications, lessons learned) and produce design reports, test reports, operating manuals, and test procedures. Support to engage with customers to solicit product specifications, schedule expectations, and budget requirements.
