120 Vertiv Senior Manufacturing Engineer Jobs Hiring Near You

Job Title: Sr DVT Engineer - Liquid Cooling 

Job Summary 

If you thrive on solving complex engineering challenges through hands-on experimentation, rigorous test engineering, and technical leadership, this role offers the opportunity to shape the future of liquid-cooling technology for AI-driven datacenters. 

The Senior DVT Engineer is responsible for executing Design Verification Testing (DVT) activities to ensure new liquid cooling products meet performance, reliability, and quality requirements. This role plays a key part across the NPDI (New Product Development & Introduction) lifecycle, supporting test planning, execution, data analysis, and issue resolution. The Senior DVT Engineer works cross-functionally to validate designs, improve product quality, and ensure successful product qualification. 

This position requires collaboration across mechanical, electrical, controls, process, and manufacturing engineering in a fast-paced, world-class lab environment. 

Key Responsibilities: 

• Develop and execute Design Verification Test (DVT) plans for new liquid cooling products.  

• Translate product requirements and specifications into clear, testable validation methods.  

• Perform and support performance testing (ASHRAE), reliability testing, and component-level validation.  

• Support Factory Witness Testing (FWT) activities by preparing test setups, validating instrumentation, and ensuring systems meet predefined test conditions.  

• Execute test procedures during FWT events and provide real-time technical support to ensure successful demonstration of product performance and functionality.  

• Document test results and assist in resolving issues identified during FWT to ensure customer and internal acceptance criteria are met. 

• Ensure accurate data collection, documentation, and reporting of test results.  

• Support validation activities across all NPDI phases, including prototype builds, design validation, and product qualification.  

• Contribute to design reviews by providing test data, insights, and risk assessments.  

• Ensure traceability between product requirements and test results.  

• Work closely with mechanical, electrical, firmware/controls, manufacturing, and quality teams to validate product designs.  

• Support issue resolution by identifying root causes and recommending corrective actions.  

• Collaborate with lab and process engineering teams to support test setup and execution.  

• Perform engineering calculations and analysis related to thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid mechanics.  

• Compare test data to analytical models and support model validation efforts.  

• Identify performance gaps and recommend design improvements.  

• Support root-cause investigations for test failures and field issues using structured methods (8D, FMEA).  

• Contribute to improvements in test methods, data quality, and lab processes.  

• Assist in developing more efficient and repeatable validation practices.  

 Basic Requirements: 

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.  

• 3-7 years of experience in product validation, test engineering, or thermal system development.  

• Strong understanding of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.  

• Ability to interpret electrical schematics, P&IDs, and mechanical drawings.  

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.  

• Ability to manage multiple tasks in a fast-paced development environment.  

 Preferred Qualifications: 

• Familiarity with psychrometrics, refrigeration cycles (HCFC/HFC/HFO), and industry standard test methods. 

• Working knowledge of 3D CAD tools (SolidWorks, AutoCAD, or similar). 

• Demonstrated success in delivering validated products through a structured NPDI process. 

• International travel willingness (up to 20%).
