Senior Thermal Engineer

SUMMARY This role focuses on creating efficient, production-ready thermal solutions for complex electronics by leading the full lifecycle from requirements definition and system design to simulation, validation, and testing. It involves applying heat transfer principles, using CAD and CFD tools to design and optimize solutions, and ensuring compliance with product, safety, and EMI constraints. The position also requires presenting findings to stakeholders and supporting verification testing while resolving issues between simulation results and real-world performance. RESPONSIBILITIES Establish thermal requirements and drive the end-to-end system-level thermal architecture, design, and validation process. Leverage CFD simulation tools to evaluate, optimize, and validate thermal solutions that ensure product performance, reliability, and compliance. Combine use of analytical and CFD tools efficiently to reduce development time for thermal solutions. Develop detailed assembly models in Creo or SolidWorks, incorporating safety and EMI-related design features and constraints to generate high-fidelity thermal models for CFD analysis, optimization, and validation. Present thermal simulation/validation findings/solutions to engineering teams and management. Assist in thermal verification testing and resolve any issues resulting from simulation results and lab testing. Apply heat transfer principles to develop advanced/innovative thermal technologies for both natural and forced cooling applications. **** This is a hybrid role in the office 3 days a week**** QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering is required Master’s degree in mechanical engineering is preferred Proficient in CAD tools with a strong understanding of heat transfer principles and their application to solving electronics cooling challenges. Experienced in developing thermal models and performing simulation-driven analysis using CFD software to evaluate and optimize thermal performance. Strong ability to interpret and synthesize thermal simulation data, translate complex technical findings into actionable insights, and present thermal analyses, recommendations, and solutions to cross-functional teams and senior management. Hands-on experience in airflow and thermal verification testing for the validation Proficiency is using 3-D CAD software such as Creo Knowledgeable about mechanical and thermal characteristics of electronic devices, including thermal interface materials, heat sinks, heat spreaders, and PCBs, and their role in effective thermal management solutions.
