Role
This role reports to the Innovation Experts Manager and operates in a global team. The team conists of other professionals each one with the following structure of skills and competencies:
- One (or more than one) major vertical expertise. In the team the person is identified as the matter expert
- Some other lighter expertises that can be extended and developed to become a matter expert
- A broad understanding of the fundamentals of cooling technologies and architectures for data center
The team is globally responsible for:
- understanding technologies and market trends
- investigating innovative technologies and processes
- generating innovation ideas
- supporting the innovation roadmap creation
- developing innovation projects/challenges (H3, H2, H1) – (incubation – investigation – feasibility)
- providing domain expert level support to the organization on the following areas:
- Thermodynamics & Refrigerants
- Mechanical & Electrical units pre-design
- Power and Digital (BSM, Controls, Software)
- Simulations (CFDs, steady state, transient)
- Cooling Technologies
- Cooling Architectures (at system level)
- Ensuring collaboration, connection and alignment with other innovation efforts within the Cooling LoB, across SP and outside SP (Digital & Service Division)
- Providing deep expertise in the above domains to (but not only to)
- Internal and external training
- SE white papers technical writers
- SE events (writing technical content or as a speaker)
- SE Venture or executives asking for technical assesments
- To other SE teams
- Collaborating with Offer Creation and R&D; in supporting roadmap development when needed
- Acting as a consultant on the specific domain whenever required
This role is involved in all the activities above with a specific focus on Power (cooling units power architecture and power train for cooling) and nice to have on Digital (BMS, controls and software).
Activities and Responsibilities
Domains definition
- « Power » means the electrical subsytstems of cooling units and distribution architecture at data center level (from grid to chip)
- AC and 800VDC Fundamentals
- AC and 800VDC Regulations, compliances and safety
- AC and 800 VDC Distribution and architectures
- « Digital » includes:
- BMS architectures in general and on data centers
- Controls logic and behaviour of thermal/cooling systems
- Fundamentals of cooling unit software architectures
- Fundamentals of power control logic
- SE digital platforms and services offering
- SE software offering related to cooling or connected to cooling
This role has the following main responsibilities and activities:
- Being expert and updated on the state of the art on his/her vertical domain(s) at least on more than one topic of the above defined domains – 800 VDC is preferred
- Has a more than basic understanding for the remaining vertical domains (e.g. at least two on Digital and one on Power)
