  • Develop and implement simulation models to analyze the thermal, fluid, and electrical performance of integrated data center systems.
  • Collaborate with the lead engineers to define simulation requirements, influence system-level reference design strategy, and validate model accuracy through testing and real-world performance data.
  • Apply continuous improvement methodologies to enhance modeling processes and outcomes.
  • Analyze system performance across various operating conditions and failure scenarios.
  • Support the development of customer-specific reference designs in platforms like Autodesk Forma by providing performance simulation data.
  • Collaborate with engineering leads to validate design choices and identify opportunities for optimization.
  • Assist in the development of system selection and configuration tools based on performance modeling.
  • Create models that specifically target key customer KPIs like PUE, WUE, and carbon emissions reduction, demonstrating quantifiable performance improvements that contribute to Trane's sustainability goals.

  • Represent the company in industry standards bodies like ASHRAE to influence future data center design.

WHAT YOU WILL BRING: (MINIMUM QUALIFICATIONS)
  • Bachelor's or Master's degree Engineering.
  • Expertise in using modeling and simulation software (e.g., CFD, Ansys) for thermal analysis.
  • Strong programming skills in languages such as Python or MATLAB for data analysis and automation.
  • Strong background in thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer.
  • Experience in modeling complex, multi-component systems.
  • Ability to work flexibly across different engineering disciplines and projects.
  • Strong ability to collaborate with cross-functional teams and external partners.
  • The ability to thrive in a fast-paced and dynamic environment serving mission critical customers

  • Technically creative yet grounded in real world feasibility.
  • Able to perform thorough and objective analysis.
  • Able to collaborate with and influence others
  • Self-motivated and disciplined.
  • Willing and able to transfer knowledge to other groups.
  • Good stand-up skills in front of customers and the field sales force.
