Position summary:
As a Data Center Thermal Solutions Engineer, you will lead the design, analysis, prototyping, and testing of thermal products for data center applications. You will collaborate with manufacturing, marketing, and the customer’s engineering teams to develop innovative cooling solutions that meet performance, cost, and reliability goals.

Projects range from iterative improvements to existing designs to clean-sheet development and advanced performance testing. Product Development Engineers typically manage multiple programs simultaneously, offering broad exposure to the entire product development cycle. Working within a multidisciplinary team, including Electrical Engineers and Engineering Technicians, you will help bring complex thermal systems from concept to production. Candidates with a strong technical foundation and experience data center systems are especially well-suited for this role.

We will consider fully-remote for the right candidate, but will require on-site presence for initial training, and then at least quarterly on-site visits.

Requirements

• B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related (non-technical) engineering degree
• 3+ years of experience in thermal systems product development, preferably in electronics or data center cooling.
• Strong background in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
• Experience with CFD tools (e.g., Ansys Fluent, Autodesk CFD, or similar).
• Proficient in 3D CAD (SolidWorks).
• Knowledge of thermal product manufacturing processes such as CNC machining, brazing, and sheet metal fabrication.
• Excellent problem-solving, communication, and project management skills.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with two-phase cooling technologies (refrigerant, heat pipe, or vapor chamber-based systems).
• Familiarity with industry standards (ASHRAE TC 9.9, 90.4, OCP, etc.).
• Exposure to data center infrastructure and liquid cooling deployments.
• Familiarity with environmental regulations for use of refrigerants in cooling systems

Responsibilities

• Design and develop thermal management products (e.g., cold plates, heat exchangers, CDUs, air-to-liquid systems) from concept to production.
• Perform thermal and fluid simulations (CFD, FEA) to optimize performance and reliability.
• Perform structural analysis on support systems and pressure containing components (FEA)
• Conduct hands-on prototyping, testing, and validation of thermal systems under real-world conditions.
• Translate customer requirements into engineering specifications and product architectures.
• Manage customer experience through periodic status update meetings (PowerPoint presentations) and overall project management
• Collaborate with sales and marketing teams to generate proposals and marketing content to support business unit growth
• Generate detailed 3D CAD models, drawings, BOMs, and engineering documentation including test reports, work instructions, and operations and maintenance manuals.
• Support product lifecycle activities including DVT, EVT, and NPI launches.
• Collaborate with suppliers and internal teams to ensure manufacturability and cost effectiveness.
• Stay informed of emerging trends in data center cooling, industry standards, and thermal technologies.

Benefits

• competitive pay
• excellent benefits (medical, dental, vision, paid time off, holidays, company-paid life & disability insurance, 401(k) match, and profit-sharing)
