Global Product Manager – Thermal Systems

Job Summary

Vertiv is seeking a Global Product Manager – Thermal Systems to support the Thermal Business Unit (BU). The role involves translating customer thermal requirements from key chip and server partners into structured reference architectures, ensuring proper documentation, validation, and alignment with reference design roadmaps.

Responsibilities

• Maintain and update thermal system reference designs for AI server platforms from Nvidia (e.g., HGX, MGX, GB200), AMD (Instinct), Intel (Gaudi), and other emerging GPU/accelerator vendors.
• Capture and document thermal specifications (cooling capacity, flow rates, temperature ranges, connector types) from partner technical documentation and communicate them to internal engineering teams.
• Liaise with technical account managers and partner engineering contacts at Nvidia, AMD, and similar companies to understand upcoming thermal needs for next-generation GPUs and servers.
• Contribute to the definition of thermal system requirements, specifications, and application guidelines for AI infrastructure projects.
• Documentation & Tools Support: Assist in developing and maintaining technical collateral, including thermal design guides, compatibility matrices, and configuration tools for data center reference designs.
• Work with engineering, advanced development, and regional sales teams to ensure reference designs are technically accurate and commercially ready.
• Competitor & Market Monitoring: Track thermal reference design trends from competing cooling solution providers and keep updated benchmarking presentations.
• Support new product introduction (NPDI) activities by preparing thermal system data sheets, application notes, and partner-facing presentations, training and sales tools.
• Customer & Partner Meetings: Participate in technical meetings with server OEMs and GPU manufacturers (under the guidance of senior PMs) to gather thermal requirements and present reference design options.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Energy Systems, or a related technical field. Master's degree is a plus but not required.
• 4-7 years of experience in product management, thermal engineering, technical sales support, or application engineering within the data center, server cooling, or semiconductor thermal space.
• Basic understanding of thermal management technologies (air cooling, direct-to-chip liquid cooling, immersion cooling) and how they apply to high-power GPUs (500W-1000W+).
• Familiarity with Nvidia, AMD, and Intel server platforms and their thermal reference design processes is highly desirable.
• Communication Skills: Ability to clearly document technical requirements and present them to both engineering and non-technical stakeholders.
• Tools Proficiency: Experience with requirements management tools, and basic data analysis.
• Mindset: Highly organized, detail-oriented, and comfortable working in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment.

Preferred (Nice To Have)

• Prior experience working with Nvidia’s Partner Network (NPN) or AMD’s server ecosystem.
• Exposure to liquid cooling solutions (CDUs, cold plates, manifolds) for AI clusters.
• Knowledge of industry standards (OCP, ASHRAE, ITE).
