Principal, Design Engineering (Thermal)

Summary

Join a world class team to create high end electronics cooling solutions for systems such as AI servers, switches, and accelerators. We work hard together to design at the leading edge of cooling technology. Must have at minimum 15+ years of experience in data center liquid cooling for high-power graphics processing units (GPUs). Strong engineering fundamentals are essential.

Complete Ownership

• Thermal design for various electronic products from thermal modeling, design, test, and design revision, until transfer to manufacturing.
• Conduct thermal simulations, postprocessing, and analysis ranging from chip to facilities level to verify thermal feasibility, risk, and to inform your designs.
• Maintain awareness of heat transfer hardware available from all sources, including how it operates and performs, its cost, and how it can be incorporated into our products.
• Conceive and implement ways to enhance and extend operation of heat transfer hardware.
• Consider the thermal aspects of chip packaging technologies.
• Apply best-in-class fluid flow geometry and technology to cool high heat flux chips.
• Determine and consider the effects of contact resistance and the use of Thermal Interface Materials.
• Size liquid cold plates, heat sinks, heat pipes, air movers, air filters, air ducting, and perforated plates.
• Plan your work to achieve full required performance, and stay on schedule to support overall product development.

Skills

• 15+ years of experience in thermal systems engineering, preferably with direct experience in liquid cooling for high-performance computing or data.
• Hands-on experience with manufacturing processes, supplier management, and technology transfer.
• Strong understanding of liquid cooling–specific reliability, safety, and performance challenges.

Physical Demands

• Duties of this position are performed in a normal office environment.
• Duties may require extended periods of sitting and sustained visual concentration on a computer monitor or on numbers and other detailed data.
• Repetitive manual movements (e.g., data entry, using a computer mouse, using a calculator, etc.) are frequently required.
• Occasional travel may be required.

References

Reference real world limitations to inform your work, such as manufacturing methods and cost, reliability, variability of incoming parts, and tolerances on all specifications.

Testing

• Analyse test data to draw inferences about the equipment tested.
• Apply statistical methods as required to maximize utilization of data and test usefulness.

Work with Multi-Disciplinary Groups

• Define system requirements and design products.
• Identify root causes of system performance.

Qualifications

• Preferred: Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Required: Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
