Dell Technologies customers rely on our products and services to drive progress. So we take the service we provide extremely seriously. Service Delivery is all about making sure our technical solutions help clients fulfil their priorities, challenges and initiatives. As trusted advisors, we build in-depth knowledge of what each client wants to achieve. Then we make sure the services delivered by Dell Technologies deliver on all our promises.
We are seeking an experienced DLC Thermal Design Lead to lead the development and coordination of detailed mechanical and thermal designs for liquid cooling infrastructure projects across EMEA.

This role sits at the heart of project delivery, bridging the gap between solution architecture, customer requirements, engineering disciplines, deployment teams, and commissioning execution. You will be responsible for converting conceptual designs into fully coordinated engineering packages that can be successfully constructed, commissioned, and handed over to customers.

You will:

-
- Lead technical discovery workshops with customers, data center operators, consultants, facility teams, partners, and internal pre-sales.

-
- Gather and validate all information required to support detailed engineering design and deployment planning.

-
- Perform hydraulic, thermal, and system performance calculations using both proprietary and industry-standard engineering tools.

-
- Develop and review of mechanical and electrical drawings, calculations, specifications, cooling solution design intent, control philosophies, sequence of operations and engineering deliverables to commissioning leads and customers.

-
- Conduct formal design handover sessions with deployment and commissioning teams.
