About the role
- We are seeking a highly experienced Thermal/Mechanical Engineer who has experience designing direct-to-chip cold plate modules to join our team and lead our efforts in optimizing thermal management for high-performance systems.
- You must be familiar with both the thermal and mechanical aspects of the cold plate module as well as their adjacent components such as thermal interface material (TIM).
- You will play a crucial role in developing and implementing advanced thermal management solutions for our high-performance data center products.
Responsibilities
- Lead the in-house design and optimization of various direct-to-chip cold plate modules
- Lead the design and optimization of thermal management systems for high-performance data center products, focusing on water cooling solutions and advanced cooling concepts.
- Cover both the thermal and mechanical engineering design
- Be very familiar with the key components of a cold plate, including but not limited to pedestals, nozzles, pedestals, internal fin designs (e.g. skived fins), etc.
- Develop and implement water cooling solutions, including internal manifolds, quick disconnects, CDUs (Coolant Distribution Units), and heat exchangers. Ensure effective cooling and thermal management for high-power processors and other critical components
- Evaluate and select thermal interface materials (TIMs) for various heat sinks and cooling solutions. Optimize TIM performance to enhance thermal conductivity and heat dissipation.
- Explore and implement advanced thermal cooling concepts, including phase change cooling, liquid cooling, and other cutting-edge technologies.
- Create and maintain comprehensive documentation for thermal management designs, including design specifications, simulation results, and testing reports. Report on performance and any issues identified during testing.
- Relocation support for those moving to San Jose (Santana Row)
Requirements
- Candidate must be able to run liquid thermal simulations to predict and analyze thermal performance of the heat exchanger
- Must be familiar with the mechanical design, fabrication, and mechanical assembly of the cold plate.
- A Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Thermal Engineering, or a related field.
- A Minimum of 5 years of experience in thermal and mechanical engineering with a strong focus on water cooling systems and advanced thermal management solutions.
- You maybe a good fit if you have
