Cooling performance limits high-power computing, semi-conductor fab, cell networks, photonics, power electronics, and most of our digital world. JCI enables customers to break through these constraints with novel complex metal components that dramatically improve heat dissipation in high-performance systems. JCI’s patented Stack Forging™ process enables complex micro-geometries, resulting in single-piece, leak-tight parts that deliver superior cooling performance, lower pressure drops, and exceptional reliability.

This role generally requires 4 days onsite per week.
