Full Job Description
We’re looking for people who put their innovation to work to advance our success – and their own. Join an organization that ensures a more secure world through connecting and protecting our customers with inventive electrical solutions. The Field Application Engineer is the technical backbone of the sales process, responsible for ensuring the company’s HDLC and iPDU solutions are accurately selected, configured, and integrated for each customer. The role-holder works directly with customers’ technical teams to understand requirements and then provides product recommendations, customized configurations, and on-site support to ensure the solution’s fit. In this role you will straddle both pre-sales and post-sales phases: from crafting initial designs and demos to supporting installation teams with technical guidance. **Requirements Analysis & Solution Specification** * Engage with customers (data center operators, facility engineers, IT architects) early in the sales cycle to gather detailed technical requirements for cooling and power. * Analyze factors like current rack densities, heat loads, facility water loop parameters, and redundancy needs. * Use these inputs to recommend appropriate solutions – for example, determining if a direct-to-chip cold plate system or a rear door heat exchanger is more suitable, and sizing the CDU capacity (kW) needed **Product Selection & Configuration** * Translate requirements into specific product configurations and part numbers. * Assist customers in selecting the right models of coolant distribution units, rack manifolds, heat exchangers, and intelligent PDUs. * Configure these solutions using sizing tools and engineering calculations (for flow rates, coolant temperatures, electrical load balancing, etc.), ensuring the proposed configuration will meet performance targets under European operating conditions (e.g. considering higher ambient temperatures or local power standards) **Technical Proposal Support** * Prepare the technica
