Mechanical / Thermal Design Engineer

Expected to work onsite, primarily from an HPE office.

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is the global edge‑to‑cloud company advancing the way people live and work. We help companies connect, protect, analyze, and act on their data and applications wherever they live, from edge to cloud, so they can turn insights into outcomes at the speed required to thrive in today’s complex world. Our culture thrives on finding new and better ways to accelerate what’s next.

We value varied backgrounds, give flexibility to manage work and personal needs, and make bold moves together to innovate and grow.

Designs, analyzes, develops, modifies and evaluates materials, mechanical systems, equipment and packaging. Conducts feasibility, design margin and validation analysis and empirical testing on new and modified designs. Leads and/or assists in architecture development and assessment. Evaluates reliability of materials, properties, designs, and techniques used in production. May direct support personnel and/or partner organizations in the preparation of detailed design, design testing, prototype fabrication, and production tooling.

Responsible for addressing thermal challenges in support of server designs and for developing and delivering cost‑effective mechanical and cooling solutions that are best in class mechanically, thermally and acoustically. Involves mechanical design as well as system‑level thermal design involving fan and heatsink technology, materials science, chemistry, fluid flow and system‑level control logic. Includes concept work, mechanical design, thermal simulation (Flotherm or CFD), mock‑up creation and solution validation.

Interfaces with vendors on a range of technical issues. Some foreign and domestic travel necessary.

• Designs portions of engineering solutions for mechanical and thermal hardware, electronics enclosures and production tooling based on established engineering principles and in accordance with provided specifications and requirements.
• Manages and expands relationships with internal and outsourced development partners on mechanical and thermal design and development.
• Reviews and evaluates designs and project activities for compliance with technology and development guidelines and standards; provides tangible feedback to improve product quality.
• Implements established test plans for existing designs, including validation of tolerances, form/fit/function, shock and vibration, electromagnetic interference, safety, reliability, developing fan curves, system power measurements & acoustics.
• Participates as a member of a project team of other mechanical hardware engineers and internal and outsourced development partners to develop reliable, cost‑effective and high‑quality solutions for moderately‑complex products.
• Communicates well verbally, in writing, and graphically.
• Works independently and as part of a team.

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering.
• Typically 0–2 years experience.
