Mechanical Engineering Technologist

WHAT YOU’LL DO: As a Mechanical Engineering Technologist at CoolIT Systems, you will support the design, testing, and manufacturing of advanced liquid cooling solutions for data centers, enterprise servers, and high-performance computing systems. With approximately three years of industry experience, you are expected to work independently on assigned projects, coordinate projects with contract design teams, assist engineers in detailed design work, and contribute to product testing and validation processes.  This role combines hands-on technical work with CAD design, prototyping, and support for manufacturing processes. You will play a key role in supporting design engineering to turn design concepts into real-world, manufacturable solutions while helping ensure quality, performance, and reliability standards are met.
