About Fluid2Chip

Fluid2Chip is a specialized technical services practice built on decades of data center expertise. We bridge the gap between traditional construction teams and the shift to high-density liquid cooling — delivering expert commissioning, flush-and-fill, fluid chemistry, QA/QC, and system optimization services that ensure mission-critical liquid cooling infrastructure performs from day one. 

Salary 

Fluid2Chip recognizes salary ranges from job boards do not necessarily reflect our pay ranges. In many instances we out-compete those ranges for well-qualified candidates.  

Job Summary 

Fluid2Chip is seeking experienced Field Engineers to support the deployment, installation, commissioning, and operational readiness of mission-critical liquid cooling and water-based cooling systems within high-performance computing and data center environments. 

This role is highly field-oriented and customer-facing, requiring strong technical awareness, professional communication, critical thinking, and disciplined documentation skills. Field Engineers serve as Fluid2Chip’s on-site technical representatives during installation and commissioning activities, helping observe system readiness, identify concerns, document field conditions, and support successful project execution. 

The ideal candidate understands both the mechanical and chemical requirements associated with mission-critical cooling systems and can recognize installation inconsistencies, operational risks, and procedural concerns before they become larger issues. 

This is not a laboratory or water sampling role. Success in this position depends on proactive observation, sound judgment, effective communication, and the ability to operate professionally within active mission-critical environments. 

This role requires flexibility to travel around the US up to 75%.

• Experience working with mission-critical cooling systems, hydronic systems, industrial water systems, mechanical commissioning, or related infrastructure environments  
• Strong mechanical aptitude and practical understanding of fluid-based cooling systems  
• Ability to think critically and make sound field observations in dynamic construction and commissioning environments  
• Strong organizational, reporting, and technical documentation skills  
• Ability to proactively identify issues and communicate them effectively and professionally  
• Comfortable interacting directly with customers, contractors, engineers, and operations teams  
• Ability to follow procedures, respect chain of command, and work collaboratively across multiple organizations and stakeholders  
• Comfortable working in active construction sites, data centers, and commissioning environments  
• Proficiency with Microsoft Office Suite and cloud-based collaboration/documentation platforms
