About the role

Thermal Engineer to perform thermal analysis and own thermal design aspects across hardware development programs, developing analytical models and supporting hardware testing from concept through production.

Responsibilities

  • Execute hand calculations, spreadsheet, and MATLAB/Python first-order models to inform path forward before jumping into detailed analysis. Use first principles as a basis for every decision and discern the right level of analysis to apply based on state of hardware design and program goals
  • Develop appropriate CFD models and simulations to predict temperatures, heat transfer, and fluid characteristics as needed to meet design schedules. Generate, maintain, and correlate integrated FEMs for imaging platforms
  • Perform test-model correlation testing to validate analytical predictions
  • Work closely with environmental test engineers to support the design, instrumentation selection, execution, and data processing of tests to validate models and predictions
  • Prepare technical reports to present findings to internal teams, management, and external customers
  • Stay current with advancements in thermal analysis techniques, materials technology, and industry standards

Qualifications

  • Currently pursuing or have obtained a MS or higher degree in engineering or applied physics with focus on heat transfer and fluid dynamics
  • 7+ years of experience in a thermal analysis or thermo-physics analysis role
  • Thermal FEA experience – STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or Flotherm
  • Familiarity with Matlab or Python (or equivalent) for developing analytical models and performing data acquisition & post-processing
