Senior Project Manager (Technical Operations)

At MegaCool Technologies, we aren’t just making parts; we are solving the most physical bottleneck in the AI revolution: Heat.

While data center cooling reaches its physical limits, we’ve developed ultra-performant Smartfins technology using proprietary generative algorithms.

We are a lean, fast-moving startup bridging the gap between high-level software intelligence and massive-scale hardware manufacturing.

If you want to see your leadership result in global-scale impact across the world's largest data centers, you belong here.

The Role

As our Senior Project Manager, you are the conductor of the MegaCool symphony.

You will own the entire lifecycle of our customer projects:

• From the initial generative design phase
• To global hardware delivery
• To deployment of our digital twin solution

This is a high-impact, high-autonomy role where you will synchronize our:

• R&D teams
• Operations
• Supply Chain

To ensure our liquid cooling solutions move from concept to server rack at lightning speed.

Key Responsibilities

Lead Cross-Functional Projects

Lead multi-disciplinary teams through the full project lifecycle, ensuring our Smartfins designs transition seamlessly from CFD/Generative modeling to physical hardware.

Connect R&D, Supply Chain & Operations

Act as the connective tissue between teams, helping unblock technical hurdles and drive aggressive milestones.

Oversee Prototyping & Quality Control

Manage critical prototyping and laboratory validation phases to ensure every cold plate meets performance standards before scaling.

Provide Technical Guidance

Act as a technical "sanity check" for project milestones, quality control steps, and engineering decisions across R&D and Supply Chain.

Deploy the Digital Twin Solution

Lead integration and deployment of our Digital Twin solution at customer sites, ensuring hardware is supported by real-time data and predictive intelligence.

Manage Strategic Partner Relationships

Serve as the primary point of contact for Tier-1 partners, translating technical progress into confidence-building milestones and transparent updates.

What You Bring

Strong foundational understanding of:

• Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD)
• Thermal management

You can interpret simulation data and ask the right technical questions.

Testing & Validation Experience

Hands-on experience with:

• Physical testing
• Quality control
• Laboratory validation protocols

Deep-Tech Project Leadership

Experience leading complex hardware or deep-tech projects from inception to deployment.

You understand how to navigate the "valley of death" between prototype and shipped product.

Cross-Functional Communication

Comfortable speaking the language of:

• Thermal engineers
• Software developers
• Manufacturing leads

Stakeholder Management

Proven experience managing high-stakes projects with multiple stakeholders under tight timelines.

Startup Mindset

You thrive in lean environments that value:

• Rapid prototyping
• Direct action
• Fast execution over corporate bureaucracy

Nice to Have

• Familiarity with generative design workflows or automated manufacturing processes
• Background in:
  • Liquid cooling
  • Semiconductors
  • Data center infrastructure
• Experience helping companies transition from:
  • Stealth mode
  • Prototype phase
  • To industry-standard supplier
