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. You will 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. You will foster close collaboration with cross-functional teams and customers to ensure seamless integration of products into overall cooling system designs and effective project execution. You will oversee the fabrication and testing of products, conduct experiments, collect data, and iterate designs to achieve desired thermal and mechanical performance. You will also 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. Additionally, you will 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. You will 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.

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)
