About The Position

We are looking for a Thermal Mechanical Engineer to join our team, reporting directly to the Thermal Mechanical Engineering Manager. In this key role, you will lead the design and development of innovative Direct Liquid Cooling solutions, including passive cold plate loops, manifolds, and modular components.

Requirements

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Minimum of 6 years of relevant experience in thermal/mechanical engineering with a P.Eng designation or similar professional.
• Highly proficiency in using CAD and simulation software (e.g. Solidworks, Celsius EC) to create detailed mechanical designs & drawings and predict & optimize performance.
• Solid understanding of fluid dynamic principles, especially as they relate to heat transfer and fluid flow in cooling systems.
• Proven ability to design components for mass production using a variety of different manufacturing methods and engineering principles (Statistical tolerance analysis, GD&T, FMEA, DFM & DFA)

Nice To Haves

• A Master's degree in relevant thermal or fluid dynamics field is an asset.
• Experience in a mass production environment is an asset.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving abilities, with a focus on data-driven decision-making.
• Experience in conducting experiments, analyzing results, and iterating designs based on findings.
• Excellent written and verbal communication skills.

Responsibilities

• Use thermal and mechanical engineering principles to lead the design and development of custom passive coldplate loops and rack & chassis manifolds. Leveraging knowledge and experience in areas including heat transfer, fluid dynamics, ergonomics and manufacturability to optimize design outcomes.
• Foster close collaboration with cross-functional teams and customers to ensure seamless integration of products into overall cooling system designs and effective project execution.
• Oversee the fabrication and testing of products, conduct experiments, collect data, and iterate designs to achieve desired thermal and mechanical performance.
• Aid in conducting comprehensive reviews of designs and drawings produced by junior team members. Providing feedback on mechanical and thermal designs, drawing best practices and approving engineering drawings for use in manufacturing and assembly of products.
• Develop detailed engineering documentation, reports, and articulate technical presentations to effectively communicate design concepts, testing outcomes, and recommendations to both internal teams and external stakeholders.
• Utilize CAD, Simulation tools and engineering principles to aid in Mechanical and Thermal design of cooling products. Driving new product introduction (NPI) efforts from concept to mass production.

Benefits

• Vacation and flex days, and paid company-wide shutdown during the holiday season.
• Comprehensive benefits including Dental, Drugs, Optical, Paramedical and Health Spending. These costs are covered by CoolIT and are enacted from your first day.
• Dress for your day – in a casual yet professional environment.
• Retention rewards like “The Big Coffee Break” that reward tenure with additional vacation time and a monetary bonus.
