About The Position

This is an opportunity to participate in a multifaceted and outstanding engineering group at one of the world’s leading companies. In this role, you will tackle critical design challenges at the intersection of wireless power and thermal management. The ideal candidate will have a deep, co-equal understanding of both electromagnetics and thermal science to co-optimize for charging efficiency, power delivery, and thermal performance in highly constrained systems. The role requires broad knowledge of finite element analysis (FEA) and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to create tightly coupled multi-physics models. This is a unique opportunity to design and deliver cutting-edge inductive power systems with mass production intent. Candidates with a creative attitude who are eager to solve complex multi-disciplinary problems will find this role especially fulfilling.

Requirements

• Deep, fundamental background in electromagnetics and a sound facility with Maxwell’s equations.
• Equally strong foundation in heat transfer physics (conduction, convection, radiation) and fluid mechanics.
• Demonstrated experience with multi-physics FEA/CFD simulation tools (e.g., COMSOL, Ansys suite, Flotherm, etc).
• BS and a minimum of 3 years relevant industry experience.

Nice To Haves

• Experience with transformer theory and inductive power link modeling.
• A thorough understanding of thermal management solutions including heat sinks, heat pipes, vapor chambers, and air movers.
• Proficiency with CAD tools (e.g., NX) and scripting languages (e.g., Python, Perl) for automation.
• Familiarity with common lab equipment for both electrical and thermal validation (e.g., network analyzers, LCR meters, power supplies, oscilloscopes, thermal cameras, thermocouples).
• Understanding of the physics of magnetic materials.
• Familiarity with manufacturing processes for coils, heatsinks, and other related components.
• Strong analytical/problem-solving skills and persistent attention to detail.
• Outstanding verbal, written, and interpersonal skills with an ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative environment.
• Must be highly motivated and a self-starter with innovation, integrity, and attention to detail.
• M.S. with 5+ years of experience or Ph.D. with 3+ years of experience in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Physics, or a related field.
