Engineering Manager - Chilled Water
Pubblicato il 06-08-2026 - Experteer Italy in Tognana
As Engineering Manager at Vertiv, you lead the thermal design activities for CW products, focusing on CRAH units and Thermal Wall solutions. You will guide NPDI execution, sustainment and ETO-C efforts, and translate requirements into robust, cost-effective chilled-water designs. You collaborate across engineering and manufacturing to drive scalable, manufacturable solutions for high-density data centers. This role offers impact in shaping cooling architectures and advancing a cross-functional, global team.
- Lead CW CRAH and Thermal Wall engineering scope across NPDI, sustaining and ETO-C programs
- Own engineering deliverables including thermodynamic selections, sizing assumptions, inputs for rating tools, BOM reviews and documentation
- Coordinate laboratory validation and customer witness testing for performance and safety requirements
- Ensure Thermal Wall meets high-density data center needs and integrates with facility chilled-water loops
- Support sustaining activities through root-cause analysis, field issue resolution, obsolescence management and continuous improvement
- Drive standardization, modularization and value engineering to improve scalability, manufacturability, quality and cost
- Provide fast engineering response for engineered-to-order projects while protecting standard platform integrity
- Collaborate with Offering, Advanced Engineering, Electrical, Controls, Manufacturing, Quality, Service, Procurement and global teams to align decisions with requirements
- Review and approve user manuals, specs, design guidelines and release packages
- Ensure compliance with safety, quality, EMC standards and promote disciplined design reviews and risk assessment
- Develop and coach engineers and specialists, fostering accountability and technical excellence
- Product and Technology Focus:
CW CRAH units and Thermal Wall architectures, high-density data hall applications, and operational considerations
- Hybrid data center cooling where air and liquid may co-exist with plant water targets and psychrometrics
- Performance modeling and tools for thermal capacity, water flow, pressure drop, energy, acoustics, redundancy and efficiency
- Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Thermal Engineering or equivalent
- 5-10+ years in data center cooling, HVAC, CRAH/CRAC units or similar thermal products
- Strong thermodynamics, psychrometrics, heat transfer, fluid dynamics, coil sizing, fan laws and valve control knowledge
- Experience with product development processes, NPDI, DFMEA/DVP&R;, validation planning and release documentation
- Experience coordinating lab testing and interpreting performance data
- Understanding of manufacturing processes, supplier interaction, cost management and DFMA
- Knowledge of norms and standards for data center chilled-water equipment, safety, quality and EMC compliance
- Leadership skills to prioritize work, develop people, resolve conflicts and communicate with global stakeholders
- English proficiency (intermediate-advanced); willingness to travel between Italy and manufacturing/customer sites
- Experience with high-density or hybrid data center cooling and knowledge of coil design, pressure drop, hydraulics and operating envelopes
- Ability to translate customer and offering requirements into engineering specs, test plans and roadmaps
- Detail-oriented, collaborative, and able to balance innovation, reliability, cost and schedule commitments
