Modularization Architect/Lead Engineer

Job Title: Modularization Architect / Lead Engineer - AI Data Center Cooling Platform

Location: Bethlehem, PA

Duration : Long Term Contract

Position Summary:
Define the modularization strategy, product architecture, packaging philosophy, and deployment approach for scalable cooling systems ranging from 2 MW prototypes to future multi-megawatt commercial platforms. This role requires close collaboration with controls, mechanical, manufacturing, and thermal engineering teams.

Key Responsibilities:
Develop the modularization strategy for advanced liquid cooling systems.
Convert stick-built engineering designs into modular, transportable, factory-assembled products.
Define modular product architecture, including module sizing, interfaces, and scalability.
Establish standard SKUs to support multiple cooling capacities and customer configurations.
Define mechanical, piping, electrical, instrumentation, and control interfaces between modules.
Collaborate with the Control Logic Architect to ensure modular control architecture aligns with the physical product design.
Lead Design for Manufacturing (DFM), Design for Assembly (DFA), and Design for Serviceability initiatives.
Optimize products for transportation, installation, maintenance, and future expansion.
Work with thermal, process, and mechanical engineers to balance performance, footprint, manufacturability, and cost.
Support prototype validation and transition from engineering development to commercialization.
Participate in customer and partner workshops to define future product roadmaps.

Require Technical Competencies:
Modular plant design.
Industrial equipment packaging.
Skid-mounted system development.
Design for Manufacturing (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
Product configuration management and SKU strategy.
CAD and Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) tools.
Interface management across mechanical, electrical, piping, and controls disciplines.
Manufacturing process optimization and industrialization.

Qualification & Experience
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering / Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, Systems Engineering, or related discipline.
12 18+ years of experience in large industrial equipment design and modular product development.
Demonstrated experience converting engineered systems into standardized modular products.
Strong understanding of mechanical systems, piping layouts, equipment integration, and industrial packaging.
Experience leading multidisciplinary engineering teams through concept development and product realization.
