Core Responsibilities
- System thermal design. Develop and optimize airflow paths, heatsinks, cold plates, and fan/ducting solutions for high-power GPU, CPU, VR, and memory components across air-cooled and liquid-cooled platforms.
- Thermal modeling and analysis. Perform CFD and thermal simulations to guide component placement, system layout, and cooling margin evaluation under worst-case workloads and environmental conditions.
- Lab validation. Instrument systems with temperature, flow, and pressure sensors; execute thermal characterization, stress testing, and margin validation, and correlate results with simulation.
- Bring-up and debug. Support thermal bring-up during EVT/DVT/PVT, debug hotspots and airflow/flow inefficiencies, and help drive corrective actions through factory ramp.
- Cross-functional execution. Collaborate with mechanical, hardware, power, and manufacturing teams to embed thermal requirements into board layouts, mechanical stackups, and rack packaging, and participate in design reviews with data-driven recommendations.
- Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related discipline.
- Experience: 8 years of hands-on thermal design experience for servers, GPU platforms, or high-power electronics, including system bring-up and validation. Exposure to liquid cooling and hyperscale deployments preferred.
- Technical expertise: Solid working knowledge of airflow and thermal design, heatsinks and cold plates, CFD/thermal modeling tools, and lab instrumentation and measurement techniques.
- Working style: Hands-on problem solver comfortable in lab environments, with the ability to turn thermal data into practical design changes and communicate clearly across teams.
