• Lead and develop a global team, aligning priorities, building technical capability, and ensuring consistent delivery of scalable, highquality liquid cooling solutions.
• Guide systemlevel design and solution architecture in support of sales and FAEs, including optimization of heatrejection systems such as coolant distribution units (CDUs), secondary fluid networks, rack and row manifolds, pumps, and hydronic loops.
• Support site surveys, design reviews, and deployment planning in collaboration with services and regional teams to ensure clear design intent prior to order placement and installation.
• Lead thermofluid and hydraulic analyses-including flow distribution, pressure drop, pump sizing, and systemlevel performance-to ensure reliability, redundancy, and resiliency in highdensity cooling deployments.
• Establish and improve standards, sizing methodologies, and product performance tools, maintaining closedloop feedback with engineering and tool owners to support consistency and scalability.
• Engage directly with customers on complex or strategic opportunities, translating voiceofcustomer insights into product roadmap priorities, reliability improvements, and serviceability enhancements.
