If you’re interested in this role and have many, but not all, of the experiences needed, we encourage you to apply.
In this role, you have the opportunity to be responsible for the design and lifecycle management of CT Cooling Units (e.g., CU4500 / CU6200 / Compact CU), acting as a key technical owner to drive design decisions, failure analysis, and cross-functional integration to ensure product performance, reliability, and manufacturability.
Cooling Unit Design & Development
Design and develop Cooling Unit mechanical systems (pumps, piping, heat exchangers, structural components)
Lead design trade-offs considering performance, cost, manufacturability, and reliability
Deliver complete design packages (3D/2D drawings, BOM, technical specifications, interface definitions)
Failure Analysis & Issue Closure
Lead root cause analysis (RCA) for field and internal failures (e.g., pump issues, flow performance, leakage, control-related issues)
Perform data-driven failure analysis and define clear technical conclusions
Drive CAPA actions including design improvements, supplier corrections, and validation activities
Support quality processes (e.g., PR investigations and escalations)
System Integration & Interface Management
Own the integration of Cooling Unit within CT systems (Generator / Tube / Gantry interfaces)
Define and manage key system interface parameters (flow rate, pressure, thermal load, etc.)
Support system-level validation and issue troubleshooting
Supplier & Manufacturing Support
Provide technical interface to key suppliers (e.g., pumps, thermal components)
Support supplier issue resolution and engineering change reviews
Support NPI and mass production activities, including addressing manufacturing deviations and failure trends
Verification & Validation
Define verification strategies for Cooling Unit (performance, durability, boundary conditions)
Analyze test data and drive design optimization
Ensure proper closure of DV/PV activities
Cross-Functional & Global Collaboration
Collaborate with global teams (e.g., Hamburg, MR, Generator teams) on design alignment and IP considerations
Support field escalations and FSE feedback loops
Participate in technical reviews (Design Reviews, CAPA reviews)
Expected Deliverables
Cooling Unit design package (CAD models, drawings, BOM, specifications)
Failure analysis reports with RCA and supporting data
CAPA implementation and tracking documentation
Verification plans and test reports
System interface definition documentation
Technical Skills
Strong mechanical / thermal / fluid system design capability
CFD tools: ANSYS Fluent
Solid understanding of liquid cooling systems (pump, heat exchanger, flow control)
Proven failure analysis capability (data-driven RCA)
Basic simulation capability (CFD / thermal analysis is a plus)
Typically, 5–8 years of relevant engineering experience
Experience in product development and field issue resolution (beyond pure design)
Cross-functional Capability
Ability to independently drive complex issue closure across design, quality, and suppliers
Clear technical communication, including management-level reporting
Strong ownership mindset with end-to-end accountability
Role Expectations
Acts as subsystem owner or module lead
Makes technical decisions under uncertainty
Provides clear conclusions and recommendations, not just analysis
Role Positioning
Not a pure design executor, but a technical owner and problem solver
Core contribution lies in driving issue resolution and engineering decisions
Cooling Unit subsystem ownership
Leading critical failure investigations and CAPA closure
