Two-phase data center cooling systems for high-density rack deployments
OptiCool manufactures rear-door two-phase cooling systems for data centers, with a tech stack anchored in industrial control (PLCs, Allen-Bradley, Modbus, BACnet) and engineering simulation (MATLAB, Minitab). The project list—heavy on design-of-experiments, laboratory upgrades, and failure analysis—combined with recurring pain points around lab throughput and test infrastructure, suggests the company is scaling manufacturing quality and product validation faster than its testing capacity can keep up. Engineering-focused hiring (10 roles, mostly mid/senior) indicates active R&D and qualification work, not just production support.
OptiCool designs and manufactures two-phase cooling systems installed at the rear door of data center racks, enabling higher density deployments while reducing energy consumption. The systems are noninvasive and work in retrofit and new-build environments, serving hyperscale operators, colocation providers, and enterprise data centers. Based in Rochester, NY with 51–200 employees, the company operates a vertically integrated manufacturing footprint that includes factory build, electrical control panel assembly, and laboratory testing and qualification.
OptiCool relies on PLCs and Allen-Bradley controllers, with Modbus and BACnet for industrial communication, MATLAB and Minitab for engineering simulation and design optimization, and standard office tools (Excel, PowerPoint, Word) for documentation.
OptiCool is focused on new product development, design-of-experiments optimization, electrical control panel documentation, factory EOL testing, laboratory upgrades, failure analysis, and preventive maintenance kit development.
