Role Overview
We are looking for a Thermal Analysis Engineer to analyze thermal performance of our products and help optimize the design to improve thermal performance.
What you'll do:
- Developing and running thermal models of forced air cooled systems.
- Providing design feedback via plots and screenshots of thermal behavior and air flow, along with recommendations for how to improve performance.
- Designing convective thermal solutions including fans, heatsinks, and vapor chambers, along with conductive thermal solutions including TIMs and TECs.
What you have:
- 7+ years of experience with thermal analysis and modeling of complex systems including silicon packages, PCBs, and fans.
- Proficiency modeling CFD in Ansys Icepak including transient and steady state analysis.
- Understanding of CFD model optimization for reducing run time (meshing strategy, feature resolution, understanding how different components affect the thermal stack, etc).
- Experience debugging complex models with multiple boundary conditions including solar loading, pressure inlets/outlets, and fixed temperature cabinet walls.
- Experience designing, speccing, and implementing passive and active thermal management solutions.
- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
Nice to have
- Experience with Multiphysics analysis techniques such as thermal expansion in structural simulation, outputting model results into optical analysis (STOP), etc.
- Experience designing thermal solutions for automotive components.
- Deep understanding of the thermomechanical properties and failure modes of glass, laminated composite structures, ceramics, polymers, metals, and adhesives.
- Solidworks modeling experience
