What is topology optimization?

A Topology Optimization job involves using computational design methods to create efficient and lightweight structures by optimizing material distribution within a given design space. Professionals in this field use algorithms, simulations, and software tools like ANSYS, Abaqus, or Altair OptiStruct to enhance product performance while reducing weight and material usage. These roles are common in aerospace, automotive, and manufacturing industries, where optimized designs can improve efficiency and sustainability. Candidates typically have expertise in structural mechanics, finite element analysis (FEA), and computer-aided design (CAD).

What are the typical daily responsibilities of someone working in topology optimization?

Professionals in topology optimization typically spend their days developing and refining computational models, running simulations to improve structural efficiency, and analyzing results to inform design decisions. They frequently collaborate with product designers, manufacturing engineers, and other specialists to ensure optimized designs are practical and meet project requirements. Routine tasks can also include preparing technical reports, presenting findings to stakeholders, and integrating optimization results into the broader engineering workflow. This dynamic role requires a blend of technical expertise, problem-solving skills, and effective teamwork.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in topology optimization, and why are they important?

To thrive in Topology Optimization, a strong background in mechanical or structural engineering, mathematical modeling, and computational methods is typically required, often supported by an advanced degree. Familiarity with specialized software such as ANSYS, Abaqus, SolidWorks, and optimization tools like MATLAB or Altair OptiStruct is essential. Analytical thinking, effective communication, and the ability to work collaboratively with multidisciplinary teams are key soft skills for this role. These competencies enable professionals to create innovative, efficient designs that meet complex engineering requirements while effectively integrating feedback from various stakeholders.

Job description


Vertiv's Thermal Business Unit is a global leader in designing, manufacturing, and servicing mission-critical thermal management solutions for data centers, communication networks, and commercial and industrial facilities worldwide. The Thermal BU's portfolio spans the complete thermal chain from chip to atmosphere, including room cooling, in-row cooling, rack cooling, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, coolant distribution units (CDUs), rear-door heat exchangers, chillers, dry coolers, and trim coolers. Operating across all major regions (Americas, EMEA, and Asia-Pacific), the Thermal BU serves hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and edge data center customers with solutions optimized for increasingly high-density AI and high-performance computing environments. Within this business unit, the Advanced Development group is responsible for incubating next-generation thermal technologies and proving their viability before transitioning them to NPDI teams for productization. This role sits at the forefront of that mission, driving innovation in emerging thermal architectures that will define Vertiv's competitive position in the rapidly evolving data center cooling market.
Position Overview:
  • Define and lead the technical strategy for mission critical thermal advanced development projects from concept through prototype validation.
  • Serve as the senior technical lead on cross-functional project teams, directing engineering activities, resolving complex technical challenges, and ensuring milestones are met on time and within budget.
  • Develop and document comprehensive design guidelines and specifications for handover to NPDI teams when projects transition from advanced engineering to product development.
  • Communicate complex technical information clearly and effectively to diverse audiences including senior leadership, cross-functional teams, external partners, and customers.
  • Mentor and lead engineers and technicians on projects, fostering a collaborative and high-performance team environment and helping to develop the next generation of technical talent.
  • Establish and maintain relationships with external research partners (e.g., universities, national labs) to identify and advance emerging thermal technologies.
  • Conduct and oversee thermal analysis, modeling, and testing to validate advanced cooling concepts.
  • Influence technology roadmaps and provide expert guidance on industry trends, competitive technologies, and regulatory developments in thermal management and refrigerants.
  • Drive continuous improvement in advanced development methods, tools, and processes across the organization.
  • Represent Vertiv as a subject matter expert at industry conferences, standards bodies, and customer engagements.
  • Perform a variety of engineering calculations using traditional engineering methods to verify design requirements, which may include stress calculations, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.
  • Develop solutions to complex problems where little or no precedence exists - the use of ingenuity and creativity is regularly required.
  • Other Duties as assigned

Requirements:
  • Highly self-directing with the ability to set priorities, define project scope, and drive results with minimal oversight
  • Extensive track record as a technical lead directing multi-disciplinary project teams from concept through prototype/validation, with demonstrated ability to manage multiple concurrent programs.
  • Demonstrated leadership in guiding and developing others to complete projects efficiently and on schedule
  • Demonstrated record of meeting deadlines and project goals
  • Deep expertise in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics
  • Strong ability to write clear, actionable design guidelines and technical documentation suitable for use by downstream product development teams
  • Demonstrated history of delivering quality products to market with understanding and respect for phases of the product development process
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills; able to present complex technical concepts to executive leadership and non-technical stakeholders
  • Recognized as a technical authority within the organization or industry
  • Experience with 3D CAD software, preferred CREO 4.0 and greater

Preferred:
  • Experience in cryogenic cooling system development
    • Experience in programming and/or creating thermal system energy models to compare new ideas to baseline systems
    • Experience using AI design tools for thermal components or systems (e.g., generative design, topology optimization, AI-driven CFD)
    • Experience with 2-Phase heat transfer fluids, including "natural" refrigerants, such as R744, R718, etc.
    • Experience with 1-phase and/or 2-phase Liquid Cooling technologies
    • Knowledge of psychometric chart and refrigeration cycles
    • Experience with CFD and/or FEA software, preferred Ansys
    • Understanding of manufacturing limitations, break sheet metal and formed copper tubes
    • Familiarity with data center thermal architecture and critical infrastructure cooling requirements
    • Patent portfolio or published research in thermal management technologies

Education:
  • Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering (BSME) or directly related degree at minimum.
  • Advanced Degree preferred.
