Job Title
Advanced Mechanical Engineer
Job Description
Job Overview:
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.
Your role:
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)
Show full description
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
You're the right fit if:
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)
Experience
- 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
