Tcs Communications Jobs (NOW HIRING)

Job Summary

Seeking a Solutions Mechanical Engineer with experience in Technical Cooling Systems (TCS) / Secondary Fluid Networks (SFN) or related piping and fluid systems (HVAC, hydronics, process cooling) to design and deliver custom solutions. The role focuses on supporting customer orders from initial quote preparation through to production-ready designs, working globally with customers, offering management, and suppliers. Responsibilities include creating rapid concept layouts using configurator/automation tools, refining them into manufacturable solutions, and engaging suppliers early to balance cost, quality, and lead time. The role also requires ensuring layouts align with customer requirements while feeding lessons learned into NPDI standards.

Key Responsibilities:

• Collaborate with customers and offering management to define TCS/SFN or related piping system requirements, design criteria, and constraints.
• Generate rapid concept layouts of TCS/SFN systems, including piping, manifolds, valves, clamps, and fittings, to support timely and accurate quote preparation.
• Use and help refine rapid layout/quoting tools to streamline CPQ integration and improve speed and accuracy of proposals.
• Translate concept layouts into manufacturable designs using company standards and supplier capabilities.
• Work with suppliers early in the design process to confirm manufacturability, cost targets, and lead times, and validate final builds through pressure/leak testing, cleanliness verification, and quality checks.
• Oversee the smooth transition from concept to production, including documentation, BOM creation, and engineering change management in PLM systems (Oracle PD Cloud, Windchill).
• Capture lessons learned and integrate improvements into standard NPDI TCS/SFN modules and design practices.

Requirements:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent.
• 5 plus years of experience in piping/fluid systems, preferably in data center liquid cooling, HVAC, hydronics, or process cooling.
• Proficiency with Creo for detailed TCS/SFN design, assemblies, and engineering documentation.
• Familiarity with rapid concept and layout tools such as AutoCAD Plant 3D, Revit MEP, or SpaceClaim for quick iteration and customer visualizations.
• Experience preparing layout drawings, routing plans, and BOMs for piping or liquid cooling systems.
• Knowledge of pressure testing, leak detection, and cleanliness requirements for fluid assemblies.
• Strong English communication skills for collaboration with customers, offering teams, and suppliers.
• Demonstrated ability to work effectively with global engineering teams.
• Preferred Skills
  • Experience with automation/configuration tools such as kBridge or similar for generating repeatable layouts and BOMs.
  • Knowledge of manufacturing processes for stainless-steel and plastic piping systems, including welding, bending, clamping, and joining methods.
  • Understanding of fluid system components such as manifolds, quick disconnects, strainers, expansion tanks, balancing valves, and sensors.
  • Ability to perform system balancing, pressure drop calculations, and valve Cv selection.
  • Familiarity with NPDI, Stage-Gate, or other structured product development processes.
  • Hands-on involvement in prototype builds, FAT/SAT, and validation reporting.
