NÜ Metal is CoreWeave’s Hardware New Product Introduction (NPI) team, a multidisciplinary group of mechanical, thermal, electrical, and power engineers that takes new GPU and server platforms from early concept through validation, integration, and large-scale production across our data centers. The team bridges hardware design, manufacturing partners, and data center operations to de-risk new platforms early and ensure each new generation of high-density, often liquid-cooled hardware lands in the fleet reliably, efficiently, and at scale. What You’ll Do Own the architecture, design, and evolution of thermals for high-density, GPU-accelerated data centers. Design, validate, and optimize rack-level and server-level thermal solutions. Partner closely with data center teams to define end-to-end thermal architecture—from building infrastructure through the rack. Collaborate with world-class engineers developing next-generation AI/ML hardware platforms. Advise on data center secondary loop layout, commissioning, and operation Review and evaluate JDM/ODM thermal designs, including thermal simulations; independently run simulations as needed. Debug complex thermal and system-level issues, incorporating learnings into future designs. Collaborate with vendors and internal teams to manage heterogeneous deployments, ensuring a cohesive thermal strategy across varying CDUs, server platforms, and facilities. Drive thermal designs from early concept through mass production. Ensure designs meet high standards for efficiency, safety, reliability, and scalability.
