Head of R&D

<p>Nordran accelerates AI infrastructure by making liquid cooling chemistry measurable and controllable. Our patent-pending chemical–physical sensing technology continuously monitors coolant stability in hyperscale AI data centers to detect degradation before it becomes downtime.</p>
<p>With pilot systems being deployed, we are now driving performance, robustness, and long-term stability to full commercial readiness.</p>
<p>We are hiring a <strong>Head of R&#x26;D</strong> to maximize system performance and harden our sensing platform for hyperscale deployment.</p>
<h2>Tasks</h2>
<p>Deliver commercial-grade robustness and performance.</p>
<ul>
<li>Push the current sensing architecture to its performance limits</li>
<li>Reduce variability, drift, and cross-sensitivity to defined target margins</li>
<li>Tighten repeatability and stability across solvent, temperature, and chemistry variation</li>
<li>Design and execute rigorous stress, aging, and reliability testing</li>
<li>Continuously identify and eliminate dominant performance bottlenecks</li>
<li>Translate experimental findings into concrete product improvements</li>
<li>Lead a small applied science team executing focused experimental programs</li>
</ul>
<p>You are accountable for ensuring the system meets the reliability and stability standards required for large-scale AI data center deployment.</p>
<h2>Requirements</h2>
<ul>
<li>PhD in Physics, Physical Chemistry, Materials Science, or related field</li>
<li>Strong hands-on experimental track record in coupled physical–chemical systems</li>
<li>Relentless focus on tightening tolerances and reducing noise</li>
<li>Think in governing variables, failure modes, and uncertainty bounds</li>
<li>Able to connect experimental rigor to real-world product requirements</li>
<li>Clear communicator with high ownership</li>
</ul>
<h2>Benefits</h2>
<ul>
<li>Competitive compensation with significant stock options.</li>
<li>High ownership role in a fast-moving deep-tech startup.</li>
<li>Work directly on hardware deployed with leading AI infrastructure customers.</li>
<li>Modern lab and office in Berlin with the tools, budget, and autonomy to build fast.</li>
<li>Compassionate, low-politics culture with high ambition and high ownership.</li>
</ul>
