About Corintis

Corintis develops innovative microfluidic cooling solutions for AI chips, GPUs, and CPUs used in data centers. Our technology improves compute sustainability by reducing the energy required for data center cooling.

Ranked as the No.1 Engineering startup in Switzerland for 2025, Corintis brings together a highly international team based at the EPFL campus near Lausanne, working on next-generation high-performance computing technologies.


The Role

As an Engineering Manager – Cold Plate & Mechanical Systems, you will lead the development of Corintis’ liquid-cooled cold plates and mechanical systems in a fast-growing startup environment. This role is critical to delivering robust, manufacturable products for AI and HPC applications while scaling our engineering capabilities.

You will work closely with the Applications / Solutions Engineering and Manufacturing teams, while managing and growing the mechanical engineering team. You will have significant ownership, influence technical direction, and help shape how products are developed as the company scales.

Key Responsibilities

  • Own cold plate mechanical design solutions from concept to production.

  • Lead, mentor, and hire mechanical engineers.

  • Translate application and customer requirements into production-ready designs.

  • Drive trade-offs between performance, robustness, cost, and manufacturability.

  • Support team and review CAD, drawings, GD&T, and DFMEA.

  • Support manufacturing, suppliers, and validation activities.

Requirements

  • 8+ years of experience in mechanical engineering.

  • Proven background in the liquid cooling industry.

  • Strong experience with cold plates or liquid-cooled systems.

  • Demonstrated experience in people management and technical leadership.

  • Expertise in CAD (SolidWorks), GD&T, and DFM/DFA.

  • Proficiency in English is essential for daily communication in an international team.

  • MSc or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

This Is a Great Fit If You:

  • Enjoy high ownership and responsibility in a startup environment.

  • Like building things from early concepts to real products.

  • Are comfortable working with evolving requirements and limited structure.

  • Enjoy working closely across teams and making fast, pragmatic decisions.

  • Care deeply about product quality and industrialization.

This Won’t Be the Right Role for You If:

  • You want a highly structured, slow-moving corporate environment.

  • You prefer narrowly defined roles with limited ownership.

  • You are uncomfortable with ambiguity or fast iteration cycles.

  • You lack experience or interest in liquid cooling technologies.

  • You are looking for a fully remote position.
