Senior Thermal Engineer

Role Overview

We are looking for a Thermal Analysis Engineer to analyze thermal performance of our products and help optimize the design to improve thermal performance.

What you'll do:

• Developing and running thermal models of forced air cooled systems.
• Providing design feedback via plots and screenshots of thermal behavior and air flow, along with recommendations for how to improve performance. 
• Designing convective thermal solutions including fans, heatsinks, and vapor chambers, along with conductive thermal solutions including TIMs and TECs.

What you have:

• 7+ years of experience with thermal analysis and modeling of complex systems including silicon packages, PCBs, and fans.
• Proficiency modeling CFD in Ansys Icepak including transient and steady state analysis.
• Understanding of CFD model optimization for reducing run time (meshing strategy, feature resolution, understanding how different components affect the thermal stack, etc).
• Experience debugging complex models with multiple boundary conditions including solar loading, pressure inlets/outlets, and fixed temperature cabinet walls.
• Experience designing, speccing, and implementing passive and active thermal management solutions.
• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

Nice to have

• Experience with Multiphysics analysis techniques such as thermal expansion in structural simulation, outputting model results into optical analysis (STOP), etc. 
• Experience designing thermal solutions for automotive components.
• Deep understanding of the thermomechanical properties and failure modes of glass, laminated composite structures, ceramics, polymers, metals, and adhesives.
• Solidworks modeling experience
