Position Summary

Sr Thermal Engineer will be involved in simulating and analyzing thermal aspects of the next generation of devices. Candidate will get a chance to work on a variety of the latest technologies and deliver products for industrial applications. Candidate will provide thermal design solutions for many varying low/high voltage power supplies with both natural and forced convection cooling methods. Candidate must have relevant experience in thermal design for electronic products

Job Responsibilities:

• Perform thermal design of electronic products:
• • Provide thermal solutions for forced air cooled and natural convection cooled products.
• Use CAD software such as Creo to build assembly models for thermal simulations.
• Use flotherm software to obtain simulation results. Apply heat-transfer fundamentals to resolve thermal issues.
• Measure actual airflow, acoustic and thermal characteristics using laboratory facilities.

• Prepare engineering reports for thermal, airflow, acoustic simulation/measurements.

• Identify feasible thermal architectures and mature designs through conceptual preliminary and detailed design phrased using practical passive and active thermal control techniques.

• Perform thermal analysis to varying degrees of fidelity (simplified to detailed) on a variety of different types of hardware such as propulsion components, high powered electronics, RF components, and printed circuit boards (PCBs).
• Perform liquid cool system design and analysis ( cold plates, liquid cool busbars, manifolds, system level thermal solutions)
• Assist in thermal verification testing and resolve any issues resulting from simulation results and lab testing.
• Develop CAD/thermal library of components of commonly used parts such as connectors, thermal interface parts, fans, blowers, heat-sinks.
• Generate thermal simulation/validation reports to share with project teams and management.
• Develop creative engineering solutions to meet product requirements.
• Research, implement and demonstrate proof-of-concept applications.
• Collaborate with Cross Functional teams of Product Management, Electrical, Firmware, and mechanical design.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering
• 8+ years of experience in thermal/mechanical role
• Experience in thermal analysis and thermally constrained design; computational thermal design experience (finite methods) is not required but highly preferred.
• 3D CAD experience (Creo preferred)
• Good in Hand calculations
• Good in Basic Physics and fundamentals
• Strong Analytical skills
• Must have strong written and verbal communication skills as will be working with cross functional teams
• Must possess strong problem-solving skills
• Operate autonomously with minimum direction
• Must be a self-starter with the ability to master new technology concepts quickly
