Working closely with the Design Engineering, Thermal Engineering, and R&D teams, this individual will drive continuous improvement in thermal simulation practices, develop engineering tools and procedures that reduce product development time, mentor engineering staff, and provide technical leadership on complex customer applications.


The ideal candidate combines deep expertise in heat transfer and thermodynamics with practical engineering judgment, advanced simulation experience, and a passion for improving engineering processes.

Job DescriptionTechnical Leadership
  • Serve as BriskHeat's technical authority in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and thermal simulation.
  • Drive the continuous improvement and long-term evolution of BriskHeat's thermal simulation capability, including modeling methodologies, engineering standards, validation techniques, and best practices.
  • Lead technical initiatives that improve engineering capability across the Design Engineering and R&D teams.
  • Mentor and train Design Engineers in thermal analysis, simulation methodologies, and engineering fundamentals.
  • Develop engineering documentation, work instructions, and training materials supporting thermal simulation and engineering best practices.
Thermal Modeling & Simulation
  • Perform advanced steady-state and transient thermal analyses using Finite Element Analysis (FEA).
  • Develop thermal models supporting BriskHeat heating solutions used in semiconductor manufacturing equipment and other demanding industrial applications.
  • Analyze temperature distributions, transient heat-up performance, surface temperatures, thermal gradients, thermal efficiency, and potential thermal safety considerations.
  • Optimize product designs through simulation-driven engineering.
  • Evaluate complex customer applications and recommend practical thermal solutions based on sound engineering principles.
Simulation Standards & Validation
  • Develop, refine, and maintain company standards for thermal modeling, simulation setup, material properties, engineering assumptions, meshing strategies, and result interpretation.
  • Create standardized simulation templates and workflows that improve repeatability, consistency, and engineering efficiency.
  • Validate simulation models through laboratory testing, analytical calculations, and correlation with product performance data.
  • Continuously improve simulation accuracy while reducing engineering design cycle time.
  • Support the development of predictive simulation methodologies that enable faster and more confident engineering decisions.
Engineering Process Improvement
  • Lead continuous improvement initiatives across the Design Engineering organization.
  • Develop engineering calculators, design tools, templates, and automated workflows that improve engineering productivity.
  • Identify opportunities to improve SolidWorks modeling practices, engineering procedures, simulation workflows, and design standards.
  • Evaluate opportunities to leverage Python, VBA, or similar technologies to automate engineering calculations and repetitive design tasks.
  • Research and implement new engineering methods, software tools, and technologies that improve engineering capability and product development efficiency.
Customer Technical Support
  • Provide engineering support for complex customer applications and unique thermal challenges.
  • Participate in technical discussions with customer engineering teams to understand application requirements and recommend optimized thermal solutions.
  • Clearly communicate engineering analyses, thermal trade-offs, and design recommendations to technical audiences.
