About the Role
The Liquid Cooling Tendering Engineer manages the tendering and quotation process for liquid cooling solutions, serving as the primary liaison between manufacturing sites and global sales organizations.

- Ensure quotations clearly document scope, assumptions, exclusions, and delivery commitments.
- Request, extract, and consolidate product cost information from the factory, including cost of goods data extracted from Acumatica.
- Coordinate with manufacturing, planning, and supply chain teams to validate cost and lead-time inputs.
- Ensure factory-provided data reflects current material availability, capacity, and configuration complexity.

- Proactively identify risks or constraints that could impact customer commitments and escalate as needed.
- Communicate factory cost and lead-time inputs clearly and consistently to regional sales organizations across multiple geographies.
- Support regions during clarification cycles by coordinating responses with factory and engineering teams.
- Enable faster and more confident global selling by reducing back-and-forth between regions and manufacturing.
- Work closely with sales, application engineering, factory planning, supply chain, and finance teams to align offers.
- Participate in tender reviews and internal alignment discussions prior to quote release.
- Support smooth handover to order management and project teams once tenders are awarded.
- Improve tendering efficiency by standardizing how factory cost, lead time, and technical inputs are requested and shared.
