About the role

Engineer responsible for owning thermal design and optimization for new hardware, solving heat transfer problems, and leading thermal programs from design through validation and deployment within a multi-disciplinary Hardware Thermal Team.

Responsibilities

  • Engage with the Hardware Design team to ensure proper thermal kit design from component to system and with the Data Center Operations team to ensure smooth product deployment
  • Develop and execute test plans to measure thermal performance/efficiency of hardware and thermal technologies. Quantitatively simulate and analyze hardware cooling schemes
  • Design and investigate cutting-edge thermal cooling solutions for advanced hardware systems for large scale deployment. Balance trade offs between design, cost, power and other critical parameters
  • Create analytical and numerical models using various Computational Fluid Dynamics tools or relevant simulation tools to describe system thermodynamics and heat transfer
  • Engage and lead external vendors including ODM and component vendors on design, test and production
  • Develop and publish case studies/technical papers describing thermal analysis of cooling systems and technologies
  • Establish the parameters for thermal design/testing, and correlation of the design/test results in order to model predictions

Qualifications

  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering and/or with 6+ years relevant experience in thermal design related to server/hardware or advanced packaging
  • Experienced with computational thermal simulation software, such as Flotherm/Future Facilities/Icepak used for optimizing hardware cooling design
  • Experience using lab equipment such as data acquisition systems, air flow chambers, and environmental chambers for thermal validation and troubleshooting
  • Experience in designing and optimizing thermal cooling solutions, such as custom-made heat sink designs, and/or fan speed control algorithms
  • Experience to interpret/create mechanical system schematics by using 3D Computer-Aided Design (CAD) tool
