Thermal & Mechanical Design Engineer developing cooling solutions for high-power accelerator cards. Collaborating with senior architects to design and validate mechanical structures in cutting-edge AI and HPC environments.
Responsibilities
We are seeking a Thermal & Mechanical Design Engineer to support the development of next-generation accelerator boards used in data center servers for HPC and AI/ML workloads.
You will work closely with our senior thermal/mechanical architect to design, analyze, and validate cooling solutions and mechanical structures for high-power PCIe and custom form-factor accelerator cards.
Collaborate with the senior thermal/mechanical architect on thermal design of accelerator PCBs and assemblies, including: Heat sink and cold plate design, Air and liquid cooling solutions, Thermal interface materials (TIMs) and heat spreaders.
Support CFD-based thermal simulations and analysis for high-power GPUs/accelerators, VRMs, and memory subsystems at the board and system level.
Assist in mechanical design and packaging: 3D CAD models for heatsinks, liquid cold plates, coolant circuits, brackets, backplates, and retention mechanisms.
Compliance with server/PCIe mechanical constraints and standards.
Help define and execute thermal validation tests: Sensor placement and logging, Chamber tests, fan speed and airflow characterization, Correlation of test results to simulation models.
Generate and maintain mechanical drawings, BOMs, and documentation in accordance with internal processes and data center standards.
Work cross-functionally with PCB, SI/PI, power, and system teams to ensure thermal and mechanical requirements are incorporated early in the design.
Requirements
Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related field.
5+ years of relevant experience in thermal and/or mechanical design (internships and project experience acceptable).
Basic understanding of: Heat transfer and fluid dynamics (conduction, convection, radiation)
Mechanical design principles and tolerance/stack-up
Experience with 3D CAD tools (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks, NX, or similar).
Exposure to thermal simulation tools (e.g., FloTHERM, Icepak, 6SigmaET, Creo Flow Analysis, or similar), even at university or project level.
Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and willingness to learn in a fast-paced environment.
Experience involving electronics cooling or data center/server hardware.
Familiarity with industry standards such as PCIe card form factors, 19" rack systems, or OCP server designs.
Hands-on lab experience with thermal measurement (thermocouples, IR cameras, etc.).
Basic scripting skills (Python/Matlab) for data processing and report generation.
