System Thermal Engineer

Junior Thermal Engineer
Key Responsibilities
Thermal & Liquid Cooling Design
•    Assist in the design of liquid cold plates, heat sinks, manifolds, and cooling loops for electronic systems.
•    Support system level thermal architecture development (component → module → system).
•    Participate in coolant selection, flow rate definition, and pressure drop considerations.
Simulation & Analysis
•    Conduct thermal and CFD simulations (steady/transient) to evaluate temperature, flow distribution, and pressure drop.
•    Analyze hotspots, thermal margins, and cooling performance under various operating conditions.
•    Correlate simulation results with experimental data.
Testing & Validation
•    Support thermal characterization and validation testing, including:
o    Temperature measurement (thermocouples, IR camera)
o    Flow, pressure, and leakage tests
•    Assist in test plan creation, data collection, and reporting.
Cross Functional Collaboration
•    Work with mechanical teams on DFM/DFA considerations for cooling hardware.
•    Support electrical and system teams in defining thermal requirements and limits.
•    Interface with manufacturing and suppliers during prototype build and refinement.
Documentation & Engineering Support
•    Prepare engineering documentation, including design reports, test summaries, and technical presentations.
•    Maintain thermal models, assumptions, and design records.
