POSITION SUMMARY—HVAC Cooling Technician
At Trane Technologies, you will help validate and scale the cooling systems powering the next generation of AI infrastructure. As AI, high-performance computing, and hyperscale data centers push thermal limits beyond what traditional systems can support, our liquid cooling technologies are enabling a fundamental shift in how data centers are designed and operated.
We are seeking a hands-on Laboratory Technician (Engineering Technician) to play a critical role in design validation, rapid prototyping, and performance optimization of advanced liquid cooling solutions. Reporting to the Director of R&D, you will work across component, system, and rack-level environments, contributing directly to product development and real-world deployment readiness.
This role is ideal for someone who wants to move beyond executing test procedures and into owning complex validation environments, influencing engineering decisions, and working on cutting-edge infrastructure at scale.
ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES
What You’ll Do
Own R&D lab testing and validation of liquid cooling solutions from component-level to system-level
Build, configure, and operate complex test systems, including fluid loops, sensors, instrumentation, and data acquisition platforms
Partner with engineering to design, modify, and optimize experimental setups
Execute and adapt test plans in a fast-paced, iterative R&D environment
Troubleshoot and debug integrated systems, identifying root causes across mechanical, thermal, and fluid domains
Analyze and interpret data to identify performance trends, anomalies, and optimization opportunities
Contribute to test automation and efficiency improvements, including scripting, controls, or process enhancements where applicable
Maintain high standards for data integrity, documentation, and repeatability
Ensure compliance with safety standards and operational protocols
Technical Scope & Tools
You will gain hands-on experience with:
Data acquisition systems (DAQ, LabVIEW, PLC-based controls, or similar)
System-level debugging of fluid, thermal, and mechanical systems
Rack-level test environments simulating real-world data center conditions
Integration of cooling systems with broader infrastructure environments
What You Own
End-to-end execution and reliability of test setups and validation workflows
Accuracy, quality, and usability of experimental data
Readiness and performance of lab infrastructure and equipment
Continuous improvement of lab processes, scalability, and efficiency
What Success Looks Like
You independently build and execute complex test environments
Your data directly informs and improves engineering design decisions
You proactively identify issues and drive solutions end-to-end
You improve lab efficiency, scalability, and repeatability over time
You operate effectively in a high-speed, evolving R&D environment
Growth & Career Path
This role is designed as a pathway into:
Advanced R&D or Test Engineering roles
System validation and product engineering
Lab leadership within a rapidly scaling organization
SPECIFIC KNOWLEDGE, SKILLS, AND ABILITIES
Associate degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, HVAC, Thermal Systems, or related field
