Senior Hardware Development Engineer
Nordran Technologies
Job Description
<p>Nordran accelerates AI infrastructure by making liquid cooling chemistry measurable and controllable. Our patent-pending chemical–physical sensing technology continuously monitors coolant stability in hyperscale AI data centers to detect degradation before it becomes downtime.</p>
<p>With pilot systems being deployed, we are now turning our first hardware MVP into a robust, manufacturable product for rollout across data centers.</p>
<p>We are hiring a <strong>Senior Hardware Development Engineer</strong> to own the mechanical, electrical, and firmware engineering required to productize and harden our sensing platform.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<ul>
<li>Own hardware productization from MVP to field-ready system across mechanics, electronics, firmware, fluidics, enclosures, connectors, and interfaces.</li>
<li>Build, test, debug, and iterate hands-on to improve robustness, reliability, manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, and cost.</li>
<li>Translate R&D learnings, customer requirements, and field failures into concrete design changes.</li>
<li>Define and execute validation tests for leakage, lifetime, temperature, vibration, chemical compatibility, sensor stability, and deployment conditions.</li>
<li>Set up and continuously improve in-house production processes, including assembly workflows, test procedures, quality checks, and manufacturing documentation.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Electrical Engineering, Embedded Systems, or related field.</li>
<li>Strong hands-on track record building and productizing physical hardware systems.</li>
<li>Comfortable debugging across mechanical design, electronics, embedded firmware, and system integration.</li>
<li>Experience with sensors, fluidics, pumps, valves, enclosures, or chemically exposed hardware is a strong plus.</li>
<li>High ownership, fast iteration speed, clear communication, and strong thinking in failure modes, tolerances, and real-world operating conditions.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Competitive compensation with meaningful stock options</li>
<li>High ownership role in a fast-moving deep-tech startup.</li>
<li>Work directly on hardware deployed with leading AI infrastructure customers.</li>
<li>Modern lab and office in Berlin with the tools, budget, and autonomy to build fast.</li>
<li>Compassionate, low-politics culture with high ambition and high ownership.</li>
</ul>
