CoreWeave is seeking a highly skilled and motivated Infrastructure/Hardware Engineer to join our Hardware Engineering team, reporting to the Hardware Engineering Manager. In this role, you will play a crucial part in the design, development, and optimization of our liquid cooling hardware infrastructure.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain hardware/firmware management services.
• Automate all aspects of the liquid cooling hardware lifecycle.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define liquid cooling hardware requirements, specifications, and system architecture.
• Create and maintain accurate documentation of liquid cooling hardware designs, specifications, test procedures, and results.
• Analyze and optimize the performance of liquid cooling hardware systems, identify bottlenecks, and propose improvements for enhanced efficiency.
• Establish processes for internal liquid cooling hardware testing, deployment, and performance optimization.
• Optimize, test, and support rack-level liquid cooling solutions, including in-rack CDU (Coolant Distribution Unit) configurations.
• Work with liquid-to-air sidecars and remote CDUs to manage heat rejection and optimize thermal performance.
• Collaborate with data center facilities teams to integrate liquid cooling systems into broader infrastructure designs.
• Develop and implement monitoring, alerting, and control systems for liquid cooling components (e.g., pumps, valves, flow sensors).
• Interface with server vendors and OEMs to validate compatibility of hardware with liquid-cooled chassis and configurations.
