Cooling System Engineer

Description

Responsibilities

• Design and develop cooling solutions for servers, storage, and AI/HPC systems, including air-cooled and liquid-cooled architectures.
• Perform thermal analysis and computational fluid dynamics (CFD) modeling to evaluate airflow, pressure drop, and heat dissipation.
• Validate thermal and acoustic performance through lab testing, including environmental chambers, wind tunnels, and prototype systems.
• Collaborate with mechanical and electrical design teams to ensure system integration and compliance with thermal specifications.
• Define thermal design requirements, specifications, and test methodologies for cooling systems and components.
• Evaluate new cooling technologies, materials, and manufacturing methods for potential implementation.
• Support root cause analysis and corrective actions for thermal-related field or reliability issues.
• Generate technical reports, design documentation, and presentations to communicate test results and design recommendations.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, energy efficiency requirements, and safety guidelines.
• Work closely with suppliers and manufacturing partners to qualify cooling components and systems.
• Participate in continuous improvement activities to optimize cost, performance, and manufacturability of cooling solutions.
• Other duties as assigned.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or related field required.
• 3–5 years of experience in thermal management, cooling system design, or related field (server, data center, or electronics industry preferred).
• Strong understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermodynamics.
• Proficiency with CFD and thermal simulation tools (e.g., FloTHERM, Icepak, ANSYS, or similar).
• Hands-on experience with thermal testing and measurement techniques (thermocouples, IR cameras, airflow sensors, etc.).
