About The Position

The Principal Mechanical Architect – LiquidStack Cooling Solutions at Trane Technologies is a senior technical role dedicated to the LiquidStack product portfolio. The position leads electrical design and development for coolant distribution units (CDUs) and advanced thermal-management solutions for the data center market. The role guides projects from concept and feasibility through prototyping, production, and sustaining, with responsibility for delivering durable, cost-effective, high-performing products that meet quality, reliability, and compliance objectives. The position provides technical leadership across product development and works with cross-functional and global teams, including Hong Kong engineering. It applies expertise in power architecture, motor control, high- and low-voltage components, regulatory standards, manufacturing methods, and engineering analysis. The role is based on-site at Trane Technologies in Haslet, Texas, five days per week, and requires approximately 5–15% travel.

Requirements

Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering.
10+ years of industrial electrical design or power equipment engineering experience.
Experience across the full product lifecycle for new product development, from concept and detailed design through design validation and commercialization.
Deep design and selection experience with VFDs, high- and low-voltage components, wiring layouts, and harmonic-distortion mitigation.
Experience in HVAC, industrial equipment, data centers, or a manufacturing environment.
Quality and customer-service focus.
Proficiency with CAD software such as PTC Creo, Creo Schematic, ePlan Pro Panel, SolidWorks, or similar design platforms.
Strong understanding of design for manufacturability and serviceability, tolerance analysis, engineering change management, and PLM, ERP, or document-control systems.
Knowledge of applicable product-safety and design standards, including UL 508A, National Electric Code, IBC/IMC, UL/CSA, CE, OSHA, and Open Compute Project standards.

Responsibilities

Own electrical distribution architecture for new skidded and modular coolant distribution unit (CDU) platforms and data center thermal-management solutions.
Design electrical systems with dual power, redundancy, safety interlocks, and advanced control systems.
Design and select variable frequency drives (VFDs), motor controls, instrumentation, and telemetry for flow rate, pressure, and temperature.
Establish CAD and drawing standards, bill-of-materials conventions, and design-review practices.
Lead electrical designs from concept through manufacturing release and perform calculations including short-circuit ratings, voltage drop, wire sizing, and thermal loading.
Partner with global teams, including Hong Kong engineering, to integrate sensors, fail-safe devices, automation solutions, and validation methods such as DFMEA.
Perform electrical design and component integration using GD&T, CAD, prints, specifications, DFMEA, and validation methods.
Work with electrical, PLM, FEA, controls, and systems engineers to integrate electrical components, sensors, fail-safe devices, redundancy, and automation solutions.
Work with test personnel to validate and test products.
Understand and apply applicable industry standards, including UL 508A, NFPA 79, National Electric Code, IBC/IMC, UL/CSA, CE, OSHA, and Open Compute Project standards.
Collaborate with global teams and Hong Kong engineering on design activities.
Drive design for manufacturability and design for serviceability.
Travel approximately 5–15%.
