Test Engineer-PCL
Ecolab · Taipei
Position Summary
You will develop and execute detailed test plans to ensure our products meet both internal and customer standards. You will analyze hardware and software requirements to design effective test strategies and evaluate the performance and reliability of electromechanical systems. The role involves conducting various tests, including temperature and mechanical stress testing, to validate product performance and identify potential design issues. You will also troubleshoot design defects by performing root cause analysis and supporting engineering improvements. In addition, you will contribute to the development of test equipment, support component selection for electromechanical systems, and prepare comprehensive technical reports and documentation to communicate test results and engineering findings.
Essential Duties & Responsibilities
- Design, develop and implement NPI product validation and qualification test plans for thermal and fluid-cooling systems, focusing on cold plates, manifolds, seals, and electromechanical assemblies.
- Apply heat transfer and thermodynamics principles and knowledge to interpret thermal tests for liquid-cooled components.
- Understand hardware and software requirements and design documents to develop comprehensive test strategies and procedures.
- Design and evaluate validation protocols, including HALT, thermal, pressure, mechanical, flow (PQ), thermal performance (RQ), and packaging integrity testing.
- Investigate failure modes including fatigue, corrosion, creep, thermal cycle degradation, and manufacturing defects.
- Perform risk assessments based on bill of material, design reviews, and other available engineering documents to qualify products.
- Conduct material compatibility evaluations on metals, elastomers, polymers, fittings, and surface-finished components.
- Prepare technical reports and validation documentation to support engineering release and customer approval.
- Analyze test data to validate design performance and recommend design improvements to ensure compliance with technical specifications.
- Conduct root cause analysis of test failures and coordinate cross-functional corrective actions.
- Exercise engineering judgment in technical disposition and decisions in collaboration with cross functional teams.
- Provide technical guidance and training to technicians and technologists.
- Maintain test logs, records, and reports in alignment with internal processes.
- Ensure compliance with all lab safety requirements and best practices.
Basic Qualifications:
- Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or other relevant field.
- A minimum of 3 years of engineering experience in a testing environment.
- Working knowledge of instrumentation including pressure transducers, temperatures sensors, flow sensors, etc.
- Solid experience in setting up and using DAQ's, sensors, and actuators for data-driven analysis.
- Experience in using diagnostic bench tools (oscilloscope, power analyzer, logic analyzer, multimeter, etc.).
- Demonstrated experience in analyzing, testing, and qualifying electro-mechanical parts and systems.
Preferred Qualifications:
- Experience with data center liquid cooling systems.
- Familiarity with rack-level cooling infrastructure such as manifolds, hoses, quick disconnects, and fittings.
Skills (competencies):
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills.
- Strong analytical and structured problem-solving skills
- High attention to detail and technical documentation accuracy.
