About the role

  • Execute computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and thermal simulations, including modeling, pre-/post-processing, and analysis.
  • Perform thermal measurements and qualification testing; correlate empirical data with simulation results for validation.
  • Develop and document design guidelines based on simulation and 3D modeling insights.
  • Lead thermal design across all levels: from chip and PCB, to subsystem and chassis, up through rack and data center integration.
  • Manage trade-offs between thermal performance, mechanical constraints, and cost, ensuring designs meet requirements from concept through end-of-life.
  • Partner with mechanical, electrical, firmware/software, system test, and manufacturing teams to drive product readiness and move into production.
  • Contribute to the definition of the thermal roadmap and drive continuous improvements in design workflows and processes across product lifecycles.

Requirements

  • 4+ years of combined professional and/or academic experience in thermal management of electronics, particularly involving PCBs and system-level assemblies.
  • BS in Mechanical Engineering with a focus in Thermodynamics, Heat Transfer, or Thermal Engineering.
  • Proficient in CFD tools, Cadence Celsius preferred; experience with other industry standard CFD tools is a plus.
  • Proficiency with MCAD tools, CREO preferred, SolidWorks acceptable.
  • Strong hands-on experience in thermal validation labs: thermal sensor use, data acquisition, instrumentation, test execution, and data analysis.
  • Familiarity with both air and liquid cooling methods, heat sinks, cold plates, heat pipes, and thermal interface materials (TIMs).
  • Experience with technical documentation, including assembly procedures, thermal engineering guidelines, and validation documentation.
  • Excellent communication and interpersonal skills; accustomed to cross-disciplinary teamwork.

Benefits

  • health and retirement benefits
  • medical, dental, and vision coverage
  • disability and life insurance
  • dependent care flexible spending account
  • accidental injury insurance
  • pet insurance
  • generous paid holidays
  • 401(k) with company match
