Job Title: GPU Liquid Cooling Process Specialist – Advanced Manufacturing
Location: On-Site | San Jose, CA
Job Type: Full-Time | Direct Hire
Salary Range: $173,000 – $187,000 per year
Industry: High-Performance Computing / Electronics Manufacturing
Adecco has partnered with a global leader in high-performance electronics manufacturing. Specializing in SMT PCB assembly, barebone system builds, and complex rack integration.
Position Overview
We're hiring a GPU Liquid Cooling Factory Process Specialist to lead, design, and optimize the production processes for liquid-cooled GPU servers and rack systems. This hands-on role is perfect for an expert in thermal systems, factory operations, and high-reliability environments who thrives in scaling cutting-edge infrastructure for AI and HPC workloads.
This is a permanent, on-site position . Remote or hybrid options are not available.
Core Responsibilities
- Own and improve the end-to-end assembly and testing process for liquid-cooled GPU racks/servers.
- Standardize work instructions for coolant loop builds, cold plate installations, and rack-level plumbing.
- Apply Lean, 5S, and Kaizen practices to reduce waste and improve yield.
Quality Assurance
- Manage quality control protocols: pressure decay testing, flow rate monitoring, leak detection, thermal performance validation.
- Maintain accurate production and QA documentation for compliance and audits.
- Resolve factory-floor challenges (e.g., pump tuning, GPU mounting, manifold/QD issues).
- Conduct root cause analysis on returned or failed systems.
- Work with engineering, R&D, and supply chain teams to integrate design updates and maintain BOM accuracy.
- Align logistics and deployment teams for smooth customer delivery and setup.
- Develop SOPs and train technicians on assembly, testing, and coolant safety.
- Maintain technical documentation for each liquid cooling system variant.
- Enforce compliance with ISO, OSHA, and coolant-specific handling standards (e.g., deionized water, glycol).
- Support chemical reporting and proper coolant disposal practices as needed.
Qualifications
Required:
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Industrial, or Manufacturing Engineering—or equivalent hands-on experience.
- 3–5+ years in electronics or systems manufacturing.
- Experience with liquid cooling: cold plates, CDUs, quick disconnects, and thermal test instrumentation.
- Knowledge of factory process control, QA protocols, and safety compliance.
Preferred:
- Familiarity with GPU/AI servers and high-density HPC infrastructure.
- Lean Six Sigma Green Belt or equivalent certification.
- Experience with MES tools and digital factory environments.
What We Offer
- Competitive salary + annual performance bonuses
- PTO, paid holidays, and 401(k) with employer match
- A front-row seat to next-generation AI & HPC infrastructure development
