Thermal Manufacturing Engineer (OB)

Responsibilities

• Create thermal simulation models from CAD to simulate HVAC systems for rack level, room level, and clean room performance.
• Program complex fan and pump control systems using large fields of sensor inputs, setting individual thermal limits, and setting fan and pump speed hysteresis controls for smooth steady state operation.
• Design, improve, and manage manufacturing processes to maximize efficiency and product quality in high density burn in rooms.
• Optimize liquid cooled production lines, troubleshooting equipment failures, implementing quality control standards, and designing new manufacturing systems and workstations.
• Control costs for liquid production facilities.
• Interpret sensor log data and analyze presenting into human readable formats but also according to various customer’s specifications using engineering principles.
• Operate and configure building management systems as pertains to thermal management systems.
• Present test reports to customers and accept customer feedback.
• Perform temperature measurements using thermocouples and IoT sensors.
• Collect data logs from test tools in Linux or Windows.
• Observe and report unexpected results or possible areas of opportunity.
• Regularly inspect measurement tools and repair or replace as required.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Thermal Engineering or Manufacturing Engineering with strong emphasis on thermal engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience with CDUs of all types including Liquid to Liquid, Liquid to Air, and Liquid to Refrigerant.
• Experience designing facility cooling plumbing systems (either chilled water or glycol based).
• Must have actually built, tested and refined project designs.
• Strong working knowledge of CFD and CAD software.
• Experience with thermocouples, IR cameras, airflow sensors, and power measurement.
• Experience working within a manufacturing environment.
• Experience building personal computers or servers.
• Experience with environmental chambers.
• Fluency in Linux command line operation.
• Ability to examine customer requirements documents and build appropriate test plans for manufacturing team.
• Possesses background knowledge of thermal measurement sciences.
• Familiarity of test instruments such as data loggers, volt meters, and power supplies.
• Proficiency in building thermal models preferably in Ansys CFD products.
• Works well as a team member but also independently.
• Pays close attention to detail.
• Communicates clearly and effectively verbally and in writing to people without an engineering background.
• Demonstrates intellectual curiosity.
• Exhibits familiarity with proper manufacturing safety procedures.
