Senior Thermal Engineer

Our partner is looking for a Senior Thermal Engineer to own the thermal architecture for advanced compute hardware from die and package level analysis through liquid cooling sled design and rack level heat rejection.

This is a senior individual contributor role with strong technical ownership. You will define thermal budgets cooling requirements and validation methods working closely with mechanical power and hardware teams.
