Job Summary
We are seeking a Thermal Engineer, Rack Level to own the thermal design and validation of Etched’s L11 rack system: the liquid-cooled racks that carry our inference hardware into customer datacenters. You will take the rack from design through deployment. That means defining how it is filled, commissioned, and brought online, validating the reference CDU systems it runs on, and serving as the technical voice on facility integration for our go-to-market team and customers.
This role fits someone who has commissioned liquid cooling systems in a real datacenter and knows what goes wrong between the spec sheet and the white space. You will work closely with our tray- and module-level thermal engineers, with the mechanical, electrical,...
