About The Position

BOYD is looking for a Thermal Design Engineer to join our Design Center team here in New Hampshire’s Lakes Region. This region of NH offers many year-round outdoor activities such as hiking, skiing, fishing, boating, etc. In this position you will help our customers find and develop creative solutions to meet their challenging thermal and mechanical design requirements. BOYD’s design centers provide mechanical, thermal, industrial, and electrical design as well as prototyping services. Our global design team consists of 100+ engineers spanning a variety of fields and disciplines. Our clientele represent a wide spectrum of industries spanning from telecommunications, medical devices, server and data center, aerospace, power, consumer products and beyond. If you have not worked on thermal analysis, design, and testing, be prepared to learn from our current experts and add that to your current engineering knowledge. SUMMARY: Conduct single and two-phase fluid flow and heat transfer research and apply it to the development of new electronics cooling products. Evaluate the most challenging electronics cooling applications with customers and propose highest performing design concepts using single and two-phase flow. Conduct theoretical analyses, design sizing, and CFD simulations. Interpret and communicate results and recommend the best design approach. Design and conduct heat transfer experiments, collect and reduce test data, analyze and interpret test results, communicate methods and results, adapt findings to improve design and CFD models, recommend design adjustments if needed. Collaborate with colleagues and help solve multidisciplinary technical challenges. Assisting with writing design proposals, marketing materials, and technical papers,
