About the Role

Our client is seeking a dedicated Remote Mechanical Design Engineer with expertise in Thermal Management to join their globally distributed engineering team. This role is crucial for developing innovative cooling solutions for high-performance electronic systems and industrial machinery. You will work independently from your home office, collaborating virtually with colleagues across different time zones. This is an ideal opportunity for a self-motivated engineer who excels in a remote setting and is passionate about tackling complex thermal challenges, contributing to advanced product designs where efficient heat dissipation is paramount for performance and reliability.

Key Responsibilities
  • Design and develop advanced thermal management solutions for electronic devices, industrial equipment, and other applications requiring precise temperature control.
  • Conduct detailed thermal analysis, simulations (CFD), and component selection to ensure optimal heat transfer and system reliability.
  • Create comprehensive design documentation, including 3D models, schematics, and performance reports, using industry-standard CAD software.
  • Collaborate effectively with remote team members, project managers, and external partners through virtual communication tools and platforms.
  • Perform component testing, validation, and troubleshooting to verify design performance against specifications.
  • Research and implement new technologies and materials for improved thermal performance and efficiency.
Requirements
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
  • A minimum of 5 years of experience focused on mechanical design, with a specialization in thermal engineering and heat transfer.
  • Proficiency in thermal analysis software (e.g., ANSYS, COMSOL) and 3D CAD tools.
  • Proven ability to work autonomously and manage projects effectively in a remote work environment.
  • Strong understanding of heat sinks, fans, liquid cooling systems, and other thermal management components.
  • Excellent written and verbal communication skills for effective virtual collaboration.
Benefits
  • Competitive salary commensurate with experience and remote work flexibility.
  • Comprehensive health and wellness benefits package tailored for remote employees.
  • Generous home office setup stipend and ongoing support.
