Senior Thermal Design Engineer

About the Role

Cooling performance limits high-power computing, semi-conductor fab, cell networks, photonics, power electronics, and most of our digital world. JCI enables customers to break through these constraints with novel complex metal components that dramatically improve heat dissipation in high-performance systems. JCI's patented Stack Forging™ process enables complex micro-geometries, resulting in single-piece, leak-tight parts that deliver superior cooling performance, lower pressure drops, and exceptional reliability.

As a Builder on the Stack Forging Thermal Solutions team at Johnson Controls, you'll join a team of sleeve-rollers who set a high bar for themselves and their co-workers. We foster a collaborative culture with no silos, where everyone is encouraged to think out loud. If you are passionate about your craft and don't give up until you've found a way, you will make an ideal Builder!

The Senior Thermal Design Engineer will support the design and development of high-quality, manufacturable thermal management components that meet performance, quality, and schedule requirements. They will work closely with the production, materials process, solutions, and quality teams to help ensure designs transition smoothly from concept to production. This position is based onsite 4 days per week at our Burlington, MA, location. Candidates must be commuting distance to the office, or able to relocate.

Who You Are

You are a technically skilled and creative engineer, capable of conceptualizing complex designs for thermal management and realizing them in CAD. You have experience designing for advanced manufacturing techniques and communicating your designs to other engineers.

How You Will Do It

• Develop detailed 3D CAD models, assemblies, and technical drawings for parts and sub-assemblies.
• Apply Design for Manufacturability (DFM) principles to support the optimization of designs.
• Perform engineering calculations and basic tolerance analyses to verify parts meet functional and durability requirements.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to incorporate feedback from production, quality, and solutions teams.
• Create and maintain design documentation and revision control records.
• Assist in investigating and resolving design-related production issues.
• Stay current on manufacturing processes, materials, and relevant industry standards.
• Support pre-sales efforts by providing technical input as needed.
• Build a working understanding of JCI's process, industry trends, and emerging technologies.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Manufacturing Engineering, or related field
• 5+ years of experience in mechanical/thermal part design, preferably in a metal fabrication or machining environment.
• Proficiency in CAD software
• Working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing).
• US Citizen and/or Permanent Resident

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience working with PLM/PDM systems is a plus.
• Onshape experience

Pay

Hiring salary range: $90,000 - $115,000 (Salary to be determined by the education, experience, knowledge, skills, and abilities of the applicant, internal equity, and alignment with market data.)
