应用工程师 -数据中心

The Data Center Application Engineer is responsible for developing and supporting HVAC solutions for data center customers in China. This role focuses on application engineering, system selection, technical proposal development, and design support for mission-critical cooling systems. The engineer works closely with the sales, segment, product, controls, service, and project teams to deliver reliable, energy-efficient, and competitive solutions for hyperscale, colocation, enterprise, and edge data center projects.

Where is the work: Shanghai, Onsite What will you do:

• Develop application engineering solutions for data center HVAC systems based on customer requirements, project specifications, and design conditions.
• Select and size appropriate equipment and system configurations, including chillers, CRAH/CRAC units, air handling systems, pumping packages, heat rejection systems, and controls interfaces.
• Prepare technical proposals, compliance matrices, equipment schedules, load assumptions, and basis-of-design documents.
• Support pre-sales activities by working with the Data Center Segment Leader and sales teams on solution positioning, bid responses, and technical clarifications.
• Review consultant specifications, tender documents, and customer requirements to ensure proposed solutions are compliant and competitive.
• Provide system design support for mission-critical cooling applications, including redundancy concepts • Support data center cooling applications including chilled water systems, DX systems, free cooling, containment approaches, modular plant concepts, and liquid cooling integration points.
• Coordinate with product engineering, controls, and factory teams to validate selections and ensure technical alignment.
• Generate and review engineering submittals, schematics, selection documents, control narratives, and technical presentations.
• Participate in customer meetings, design reviews, and technical workshops with owners, consultants, design institutes, and EPC contractors.
• Support value engineering and optimization discussions focused on energy efficiency, footprint, constructability, maintainability, and lifecycle cost.
• Assist project handoff to operations and service teams, ensuring technical continuity from pursuit through execution.
• Track market and technology trends in China data centers, including AI-driven high-density loads, low-GWP refrigerants, heat recovery, and liquid cooling adoption.
• Maintain standard application tools, templates, and technical documentation for repeatable, high-quality engineering output.
