Description
The Apple Thermal team is seeking a world-class Thermal Engineer to play a key role in the definition and design of Apple products. Your primary responsibility will be to ensure that from initial concept to design fruition, all thermal objectives are met or surpassed, and the user experience is optimized. Our team is responsible for all thermally related aspects of a highly collaborative, cross-functional design effort. To be successful, you will need to have a thorough understanding of heat and fluid flow with the ability to apply this understanding to complex design problems. Being able to clearly communicate technically complex material is a must, as is the ability to thrive in a fast-paced work environment. You will be tasked with impacting product design decisions by providing reliable analysis and thermal insight. In addition, you will lead the design and implementation of thermal solutions and participate in design reviews and technology investigations. You will also be responsible for: Specification and optimization of thermal control parameters Defining and guiding thermal and flow experiments to characterize materials, components, and systems Analysis of system test data and preparing summary reports Communication of status and results to cross-functional teams and management Occasional travelB.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent with 5+ years of thermal design experience Excellent verbal and written communication skills Genuine curiosity and a sense of design ownershipDeep technical and functional expertise in conduction, convection (natural and forced), and radiation, as well as numeric modeling techniques and concepts Practical knowledge of TIM, heat sinks, heat pipes, vapor chambers, fans, and blowers applications Experience with consumer electronics thermal validations OEM, thermal components manufacturing, and vendors interaction highly desirable CFD and CAD tools Scripting (e.g. Perl, Python) and data graphics (e.g. MATLAB, SciPy) M.S. or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on Heat Transfer or Fluid Dynamics and 3+ years of experience
