We are currently seeking an Engineering Manager to join our dynamic team in
Piove di Sacco (PD), Italy
Vertiv is looking for an Engineering Manager to lead the thermal design activities for the CW product line, with specific focus on CRAH units and Thermal Wall applications within the Thermal Management R&D; organization in Piove di Sacco. The role focuses on chilled-water computer-room air cooling solutions, air-distribution architecture, coil and fan-system optimization, hydraulic integration, controls logic and high-density data center applications. The Engineering Manager will guide NPDI execution, support sustaining and ETO-C activities, and ensure that product requirements are translated into robust, cost-effective and manufacturable chilled-water designs.
What kind of work will you be doing?
Lead the CW CRAH and Thermal Wall engineering scope, coordinating thermal, mechanical, hydraulic and controls-related design activities across NPDI, sustaining and ETO-C programs.
Own engineering deliverables for CW CRAH and Thermal Wall projects, including thermodynamic selections, air-side and water-side sizing assumptions, GRS/rating-tool inputs, product cost targets,
bill of material reviews and technical documentation.
Drive product architecture decisions for chilled-water air-cooling platforms, including coil selection, fan-wall concepts, airflow distribution, hydraulic circuit layout, valve strategy, condensate management, serviceability and maintainability.
Coordinate laboratory validation and customer witness testing for capacity, airflow, water flow, pressure drop, control sequence, operating envelope, reliability, safety and compliance requirements.
Ensure the Thermal Wall platform meets intended application needs for high-density data halls, service-corridor installation, plenum or ducted hot-air return, horizontal cold-air delivery and integration with facility chilled-water loops.
Support sustaining activities through root-cause analysis, field issue resolution, deviation review, component obsolescence management, supplier qualification and continuous product improvement.
Drive standardization, modularization and value engineering across the CW CRAH and Thermal Wall product families to improve scalability, manufacturability, quality and cost competitiveness.
Provide fast engineering response on engineered-to-order complex projects while protecting the integrity of the standard CW product platform.
Collaborate with Offering, Advanced Engineering, Electrical, Controls, Manufacturing, Quality, Service,
Procurement and global engineering teams to align technical decisions with customer, factory and product-line requirements.
Review and approve user manuals, technical specifications, product documentation, internal design guidelines, rating tools and engineering release packages.
Ensure compliance with applicable safety, quality, EMC and product standards, and promote strong engineering discipline around design reviews, risk assessment, lessons learned and continuous improvement.
Develop, coach and prioritize the work of engineers and technical specialists assigned to the CW CRAH and Thermal Wall scope, fostering accountability, collaboration and technical excellence.
Product and Technology Focus
CW CRAH units for room-level data center air cooling, including chilled-water coil performance, airflow management, fan selection, controls logic and integration with central plant operation.
Thermal Wall architectures within the CW product line, including service-corridor installation, hot-air return through plenum or ducting, horizontal cold-air delivery and high-density data hall air distribution.
Hybrid data center applications where air and liquid cooling may coexist and where facility water temperature, return/supply air targets, psychometrics, condensation margin and airflow strategy must be evaluated together.
Performance modeling and selection tools covering thermal capacity, water flow, pressure drop, fan energy, acoustic impact, redundancy, operating envelope and annual efficiency considerations for chilled-water operation.
What will make you successful?
Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Energy Engineering, Thermal Engineering or equivalent technical discipline.
5-10+ years of relevant experience in data center cool
