Sr. Staff Thermal Engineer developing next-generation cooling technologies for high-power semiconductors. Collaborating with cross-functional teams for thermal solutions and mechanical designs at Marvell.
Responsibilities
Conduct feasibility modeling for next-generation cooling technologies, including phase-change systems, evaporative solutions, and immersion concepts.
Evaluate early-stage cooling architectures in collaboration with silicon, mechanical, and test engineering teams.
Perform thermal interface material (TIM) scouting, comparative research, and preliminary characterization.
Translate future product power-density roadmaps into cooling performance requirements for early design phases.
Lead end-to-end thermal and mechanical design of cooling assemblies, including thermal heads, manifolds, sockets, and fluid delivery structures.
Execute full 3D thermal simulations, conjugate heat-transfer analysis, and transient thermal modeling to predict evaporator and cold-plate performance.
Develop and validate TIM analysis.
Own material selection and fluid-path design for high-flow cooling systems, ensuring stability, reliability, and manufacturability.
Validate integrated thermal head + socket assemblies in the lab, including structural, thermal, and reliability characterization.
Build reliability prediction models for thermal cycling, material fatigue, creep, and long-term system behavior.
Develop multi-zone thermal control concepts, including sensor strategy, PID algorithm design, loop-tuning, and control-firmware interaction.
Own TIM qualification workflows including thermal resistance measurement, mechanical endurance, and process compliance.
Script automation sequences for calibration, system setup, thermal control routines, and ATE/handler interaction.
Work closely with handler engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of thermal heads into ATE/SLT.
Partner with silicon architects, packaging engineers, and electrical/mechanical design teams to ensure cooling compatibility and design alignment.
Collaborate with reliability, manufacturing, and test engineering teams to define qualification plans and production-readiness criteria.
Interface with external vendors for thermal head manufacturing, fluid system components, TIM suppliers, and advanced materials.
