• Complete ownership of thermal design for various electronic products from thermal modeling, design, test, and design revision, until transfer to manufacturing.
• Conduct thermal simulations, postprocessing, and analysis ranging from chip to facilities level to verify thermal feasibility and inform designs.
• Maintain awareness of heat transfer hardware available from all sources, including operation, performance, cost, and potential incorporation into products.
• Conceive and implement ways to enhance and extend operation of heat transfer hardware.
• Consider the thermal aspects of chip packaging technologies.
• Apply best-in-class fluid flow geometry and technology to cool high heat flux chips.
• Determine and consider effects of contact resistance and the use of Thermal Interface Materials.
• Apply air cooling when possible and liquid cooling when necessary to achieve full performance and reliability at the lowest cost.
• Size liquid cold plates, heat sinks, heat pipes, air movers, air filters, air ducting, and perforated plates.
• Plan work to achieve required performance and stay on schedule to support overall product development.
• Reference real-world limitations to inform work, such as manufacturing methods and cost, reliability, variability of incoming parts, and tolerances on specifications.
• Perform hands-on lab tests of equipment from component to rack and facility level for design and model validation. Document thermal test plans, devise and build test stands, including technical support, cooling liquid supply, power delivery, metrology, instrumentation, compute workload, experiment control, and data recording.
• Analyze test data to draw inferences about the equipment tested and apply statistical methods as required to maximize data usefulness.
• Work with multi-disciplinary groups to define system requirements and design products.
• Work with cross-functional teams to identify root causes of system performance.

• Master's degree in Engineering. Preference given to candidates with a Master's degree in Thermodynamic Engineering.
