Job Description

Insight Global is seeking experienced Mechanical/Manufacturing NPI Engineers with a strong emphasis on liquid cooling to join our team. These engineers will play a critical role in bridging engineering and manufacturing to implement advanced liquid-cooled switch products into production. The focus is on how to implement liquid cooling solutions at scale, ensuring readiness for installation, manufacturability, and training for deployment.

What You'll Do:
-Act as the primary interface between mechanical design teams and manufacturing for liquid cooling implementation.
-Drive technical implementation of liquid cooling systems at both product level (switch/rack) and manufacturing level.
-Define requirements for installation and develop processes to integrate liquid cooling solutions into production environments.
-Support training for installation and maintenance of liquid cooling systems.
-Collaborate with mechanical engineers on design -feasibility and manufacturability.
-Develop and release high-level mechanical assemblies and BOMs using PLM tools (Agile, Oracle).
-Oversee fluid delivery systems at facility and system levels.
Support NPI processes including prototype builds, DFM reviews, and ramp to volume manufacturing.
Travel internationally as needed (passport required; company will sponsor China visa).
