Your Team Your Impact

We are seeking a Sr. Staff Thermal Engineer to join our Advanced Technology Infrastructure team to drive the development of nextgeneration cooling technologies across highpower semiconductor test and validation platforms. This role spans earlyphase research detailed thermalmechanical design and full systemlevel integration with automated handlers.

You will work at the intersection of advanced thermal mechanical design packaging control systems and automation delivering thermal solutions that support our next wave of highpower XPU and Silicon Photonics programs.
This position is ideal for an engineer who enjoys handson development deep modeling and seeing concepts become validated hardware.

What You Can Expect

  • Conduct feasibility modeling for nextgeneration cooling technologies including phasechange systems evaporative solutions and immersion concepts.

  • Evaluate earlystage cooling architectures in collaboration with silicon mechanical and test engineering teams.

  • Perform thermal interface material (TIM) scouting comparative research and preliminary characterization.

  • Translate future product powerdensity roadmaps into cooling performance requirements for early design phases.

  • Lead endtoend thermal and mechanical design of cooling assemblies including thermal heads manifolds sockets and fluid delivery structures.

  • Execute full 3D thermal simulations conjugate heattransfer analysis and transient thermal modeling to predict evaporator and coldplate performance.

  • Develop and validate TIM analysis

  • Own material selection and fluidpath design for highflow cooling systems ensuring stability reliability and manufacturability.

  • Validate integrated thermal head socket assemblies in the lab including structural thermal and reliability characterization.

  • Build reliability prediction models for thermal cycling material fatigue creep and longterm system behavior.

  • Develop multizone thermal control concepts including sensor strategy PID algorithm design looptuning and controlfirmware interaction.

  • Own TIM qualification workflows including thermal resistance measurement mechanical endurance and process compliance.

  • Script automation sequences for calibration system setup thermal control routines and ATE/handler interaction.

  • Work closely with handler engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of thermal heads into ATE/SLT

  • Partner with silicon architects packaging engineers and electrical/mechanical design teams to ensure cooling compatibility and design alignment.

  • Collaborate with reliability manufacturing and test engineering teams to define qualification plans and productionreadiness criteria.

  • Interface with external vendors for thermal head manufacturing fluid system components TIM suppliers and advanced materials.

What Were Looking For

  • Bachelors degree inMechanical Engineering Thermal Engineering Chemical Engineering or related field and 5years of relatedprofessional experience OR Masters degree and/orPhD in Mechanical Engineering Thermal Engineering Chemical Engineering or related field (Preferred) with 3 years ofexperience.

  • 3 years of experience in thermal design cooling systems or mechanical systems for semiconductors data centers or highpower electronics.

  • Proficiency with thermal simulation tools (One or more of: Flotherm Icepak COMSOL Ansys FloEFD or equivalent).

  • Strong knowledge of heat transfer fluid dynamics TIMs and mechanical stress analysis.

  • Handson experience validating thermal hardware in a lab environment.

  • Experience with phasechange cooling coldplate design or evaporative cooling systems

  • Familiarity with highpower device testing thermal heads or semiconductor handlers.
