SE events (writing technical content or as a speaker)

SE Venture or executives asking for technical assesments

To other SE teams

Collaborating with Offer Creation and R&D; in supporting roadmap development when needed

Acting as a consultant on the specific domain whenever required





This role is involved in all the activities above with a specific focus on Power (cooling units power architecture and power train for cooling) and nice to have on Digital (BMS, controls and software).

Activities and Responsibilities
Domains definition

« Power » means the electrical subsytstems of cooling units and distribution architecture at data center level (from grid to chip)

AC and 800VDC Fundamentals

AC and 800VDC Regulations, compliances and safety

AC and 800 VDC Distribution and architectures

« Digital » includes:

BMS architectures in general and on data centers

Controls logic and behaviour of thermal/cooling systems

Fundamentals of cooling unit software architectures

Fundamentals of power control logic

SE digital platforms and services offering

SE software offering related to cooling or connected to cooling

This role has the following main responsibilities and activities:

Being expert and updated on the state of the art on his/her vertical domain(s) at least on more than one topic of the above defined domains – 800 VDC is preferred

Has a more than basic understanding for the remaining vertical domains (e.g. at least two on Digital and one on Power)

Being aware of the cooling fundamentals for data center

Knowledge of the current market trends on the Digital&Power; for data center





Ensure broad knowledge sharing and support fruitful collaboration across and outside the teams

Being autonomous, organized and proactive in planning and execution

Understand, evaluate and define technologies and market trends on cooling business with focus on Digital&Power;

Drive the effort to translate approved innovation ideas on Digital&Power; domains in actionable innovation challenges

Lead directly some innovation challenges and projects on the Digital&Power; domains, coordinate and monitor the others

Animate the Innovation Community (Core and Extended Teams) on ideas generation through questions, interviews and unofficial networkin

Join innovation/investigation projects lead by other team as cooling expert on Digital&Power; (e.g. Cooling Sequencer for Chillers)

Keep alignment and consistency across Cooling, Power and Digital Innovation roadmaps

Elaborate and prepare educational content on Digital&Power; for Cooling in data center applications (e.g. 800 V dc landscape and adoption)

Aligment with the Control Platform Strategy Team with regular updates

KPI: Defined by specific goals, yearly adjusted according to project evolution.

Mandatory Requirements

Degrees on Engineering (Electrical, Electronics, Control, Aerospace, Automation, Energy, Software or similar).
