Key Responsibilities:

• Lead the design and development of containerized modular data center systems optimized for high-density AI compute, including NVIDIA GPU platforms.
• Translate high-level system requirements—covering power, thermal management, networking, redundancy, compliance, and safety—into detailed product specifications and development plans.
• Manage the full product development lifecycle, including concept design, prototyping, testing, validation, and production ramp-up.
• Direct and mentor a team of mechanical, electrical, and systems engineers; foster collaboration and ensure timely delivery of project milestones.
• Collaborate closely with supply chain, manufacturing, quality, and sales teams to ensure designs are manufacturable, cost-effective, and aligned with customer and market needs.
• Conduct design reviews, risk assessments, and feasibility studies to optimize product performance, reliability, and scalability.
• Oversee the creation of comprehensive technical documentation, including engineering drawings, bills of materials (BOMs), test plans, and certification support files.
• Drive continuous improvement in development processes, tools, and team capabilities to enhance efficiency and innovation.
• Engage with key customers, partners, and internal stakeholders to gather feedback, align on roadmaps, and support product deployment.

Qualifications:

Education:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

Experience:

• 8+ years of experience in product development, with at least 3 years in a leadership or management role.
• Extensive hands-on experience in mechanical design using tools such as SolidWorks, CATIA, or similar; proficiency in FEA and CFD analysis.
• Strong background in electrical system design and integration, preferably within data center, telecom, energy, or industrial equipment sectors.
• Proven track record of managing the full development cycle of complex hardware products—from concept through mass production.
• Experience working in cross-cultural and geographically distributed teams is highly desirable.

Skills & Competencies:

• Excellent leadership, communication, and team-building skills.
• Deep understanding of thermal management, structural design, power distribution, and compliance standards relevant to data center or critical infrastructure products.
• Ability to work under pressure, respond to urgent requests outside regular hours when needed, and travel as required.
• Strategic thinker with strong problem-solving skills and a results-driven mindset.
• Proactive, adaptable, and able to thrive in a dynamic, high-growth environment.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Direct experience with containerized, modular, or mobile data center solutions.
