Service Technical Support Engineer

Vertiv is hiring a Service Technical Support Engineer to support our rapid business expansion, we are creating a high-impact position focused on embedding service readiness into the New Product Development and Introduction (NPDI) process across our Power and Thermal product portfolios — including UPS, STS, Batteries, Switchgear, Busway, CRAC units, chillers, and liquid cooling systems. This role is ideal for a hands-on engineer who can proactively identify service gaps, drive cross-functional coordination, and build repeatable, scalable processes that ensure all products are launch-ready from a service perspective. You will play a key role in closing the loop between engineering and service — improving maintainability, documentation, spare parts planning, and long-term field support for mission-critical infrastructure. Responsibilities Engage with R&D teams during early development stages to identify serviceability risks and influence design for maintainability. Review and validate design features from a service perspective (e.g., accessibility, modularity, fault isolation). Ensure delivery of all service-related documentation and materials (e.g., service manuals, exploded views, tool lists, training packages) prior to launch. Collaborate with logistics, spare parts, and technical support teams to ensure full support readiness on Day 1. Maintain and enforce a Service Readiness Checklist as a mandatory NPDI gate. Lead or support field trials, pilot deployments, and feedback integration for design refinement before mass rollout. Participate in or lead FMEA and reliability engineering reviews focused on serviceability and field failure prevention. Define internal service readiness best practices and standard workflows for future NPDI programs. Qualifications Bachelor's degree in Mechanical, Electrical, or Mechatronics Engineering (or related discipline). Minimum 3 years' experience in product development, field service, or technical support — ideally in power systems (e.g., UPS, batteries, switchgear) and/or HVAC/thermal systems (e.g., CRAC, chillers, liquid cooling). Strong understanding of the NPDI/NPI process from a serviceability and lifecycle support standpoint. Proven ability to work across global teams including engineering, service, logistics, and technical documentation. Experience with BOM structuring, service documentation, and tools like SolidWorks, AutoCAD, Windchill, or SAP. Preferred Skills Familiarity with UPS and STS/ATS topologies, battery chemistries (Li-ion, VRLA), and BMS architecture. Experience with CRAC units, chillers, direct-to-chip and liquid cooling technologies. Exposure to service software tools, remote diagnostics, firmware upgrade processes, and HMI/SCADA interfaces. Understanding of applicable compliance standards (e.g., IEC 62040, AS/NZS 3000, UL, NFPA 70E) for electrical and thermal equipment.
