We are seeking a highly motivated Thermal Engineer to join our Active Thermal Solutions team. This role is responsible for developing and optimizing active thermal management solutions for high-speed interconnect systems.

The ideal candidate will collaborate closely with customers to define boundary conditions, perform thermal simulations, validate designs through lab testing, and deliver optimized, production-ready thermal solutions that meet performance, reliability, and manufacturability requirements.

Customer Collaboration

• Engage directly with customers to gather thermal boundary conditions, system-level constraints, and performance requirements.
• Translate customer needs into actionable simulation and test plans.

Thermal Simulation and Analysis

• Develop and execute thermal models using CFD tools (e.g., ANSYS Icepak, FloTHERM, or equivalent).
• Analyze airflow, temperature distribution, and heat dissipation for active thermal solutions in high-density electronic cooling environments.
• Perform sensitivity and optimization studies to ensure thermal performance meets design goals.

Experimental Validation

• Work with lab teams to plan and conduct thermal testing and validation.
• Correlate experimental data with simulation results to refine and validate models.
• Identify and troubleshoot thermal design issues through root-cause analysis and iterative testing.

Optimization and Reporting

• Optimize designs based on simulation and test results to balance performance, cost, and manufacturability.
• Prepare detailed technical reports summarizing analysis, findings, and recommendations.
• Present results and optimized solutions to customers and cross-functional teams.

**Education & Experience**

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related field.
• 3+ years of industry experience in thermal design or analysis for cooling electronic systems or interconnect hardware preferred.

**Technical Skills**
