Advanced Mechanical Engineer

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)

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
