Position: Mechanical / Thermal Engineer

The Role

Join an innovative mechanical/thermal engineering team at the forefront of advanced liquid cooling technology. As a Mechanical/Thermal Engineer, you'll play a hands‑on role in bringing cutting‑edge cooling solutions from concept to reality—designing sleek cold plates and working with sophisticated Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) that solve real‑world thermal challenges for high‑performance systems. You'll split your time between the lab and your CAD workstation, running validation tests one day and optimizing designs the next.

Working within our collaborative Agile framework, you'll interact daily with experienced thermal engineers, test technicians, and cross‑functional product teams who will mentor you as you grow your expertise in thermal management.

The Person

The right person for this role thrives in a dynamic, fast‑paced environment where technical excellence meets collaborative innovation. You're naturally curious and driven to continuously expand your skillset—whether that's mastering a new thermal simulation tool, diving deeper into two‑phase cooling phenomena, or learning from the expertise of senior engineers around you. Success in this position requires strong communication skills and the ability to work seamlessly across boundaries.

You'll regularly partner with electrical engineers, product managers, test technicians, and manufacturing teams, so being able to clearly articulate technical concepts, actively listen to different perspectives, and build consensus is essential. You're equally comfortable presenting test results to your immediate team as you are explaining thermal design constraints to non‑technical stakeholders. You embrace challenge as an opportunity to grow. Our competitive, high‑stakes environment demands resilience, adaptability, and a solutions‑oriented mindset.

When a prototype doesn't perform as expected or requirements shift mid‑sprint, you stay composed, pivot quickly, and work collaboratively to find the best path forward. Above all, you're a team player who values both individual contribution and collective success.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop 3D CAD models and detailed drawings for liquid cooling components (cold plates, CDUs, manifolds) using Solid Works and/or Creo
  • Conduct thermal and fluid flow analyses to optimize cooling performance and ensure designs meet specifications
  • Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to integrate thermal solutions into broader system architectures
  • Support design for manufacturability (DFM) reviews and iterate designs based on feedback from manufacturing partners
  • Design and execute experimental test plans to validate thermal performance, pressure drop, and reliability of cooling systems
  • Build and instrument test fixtures, configure data acquisition systems, and operate laboratory equipment
  • Analyze test data, identify trends and anomalies, and generate comprehensive test reports with actionable insights
  • Troubleshoot prototype issues and implement design improvements based on empirical findings
  • Participate in Agile sprint ceremonies, contributing to planning, daily stand‑ups, and retrospectives
  • Interface with electrical engineering teams to understand thermal requirements and cooling constraints
  • Work with manufacturing and supply‑chain teams to ensure smooth transition from prototype to production
  • Communicate technical findings and design rationale to stakeholders across multiple business units
  • Stay current with industry trends in datacenter liquid cooling technologies and best practices
  • Proactively develop skills in thermal simulation tools, experimental techniques, and advanced cooling concepts
  • Contribute to team knowledge sharing through documentation, presentations, and mentorship of future team members
Preferred Experience
  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or related engineering discipline
  • Demonstrated proficiency with 3D CAD tools such as Solid Works and/or Creo (Pro/Engineer)
  • Coursework or project experience in heat transfer, fluid mechanics, thermodynamics, and thermal‑fluid systems
  • Familiarity with thermal analysis tools (hand calculations, simulation software, or experimental methods)
  • Expos…
