Laboratory Intern – Liquid Cooling Systems
Location: Anderson, SC
Job Type: Internship (Full-time or Part-time)
About the Role
We are seeking a highly motivated Laboratory Intern to support experimental research and performance testing of advanced liquid and two-phase cooling systems for data center applications. This role offers hands-on experience with real hardware, precision laboratory instrumentation, and next-generation thermal technologies.
You will work closely with experienced engineers while taking ownership of critical experimental activities in a fast-paced R&D environment.
Key Responsibilities
- Properly execute cold plate testing for single-phase and two-phase liquid cooling systems.
- Conduct steady-state and transient thermal performance evaluations of Two Phase Cold plate.
- Operate and maintain laboratory test rigs to ensure accuracy and repeatability.
- Set up and calibrate different sensors, data acquisition systems, and control hardware.
- Perform refrigerant charging/discharging and handling in accordance with established safety protocols.
- Monitor experiments in real time and troubleshoot abnormal thermal or flow behavior.
- Collect, validate, and organize experimental data with strong attention to detail.
- Perform data reduction, statistical analysis, and uncertainty evaluation.
- Document test procedures, configurations, and results thoroughly and accurately.
- Communicate findings clearly through technical reports, plots, and presentations.
Required Qualifications
- Pursuing or completed B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical or Chemical Engineering or a related field.
- Strong understanding of thermodynamics, including heat transfer and phase-change phenomena.
- Strong understanding of fluid dynamics, including internal flow and experimental system behavior.
- Hands-on laboratory(thermal and Fluid systems) and instrumentation experience.
- Ability to apply theoretical principles to practical testing and troubleshooting.
- Strong analytical thinking and real-time problem-solving skills.
Why Join Us?
- Work on cutting-edge liquid and two-phase cooling technologies shaping the future of data centers.
- Gain hands-on experience comparable to an industry testing engineer role.
- Develop practical expertise in advanced thermal management systems and experimental methods.
- Join a technically rigorous, collaborative, and growth-oriented engineering team.
