Job description
Thermal Engineer – Liquid Cooling
Santa Clara, California, United States (On-site)
On-site | Santa Clara, CA
200-250k base + equity.
I’m working with a well-funded technology company developing high-performance hardware for advanced data-center applications.
They are looking for an experienced Thermal Engineer to lead the design, modeling and validation of cooling systems for high-power electronic equipment.
This is an equipment-level thermal-engineering position rather than a facilities or HVAC role. You’ll own thermal solutions from early analysis and simulation through physical testing and system integration.
You’ll work on:
Designing heat sinks, cold plates and liquid-cooling loops
Developing advanced air-, liquid- and two-phase-cooling solutions
Running thermal modeling and simulation
Conducting physical testing, validation and model correlation
Integrating cooling systems into broader hardware architectures
Troubleshooting thermal-performance and system-reliability issues
Working across mechanical, electrical and system-engineering teams
Building technical relationships with cooling-component suppliers
Evaluating new thermal technologies and industry developments.
Looking for engineers who have:
A bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline, with a master’s preferred
10+ years of thermal-design experience
At least two years of hands-on liquid- or two-phase-cooling design experience
Strong knowledge of heat-transfer fundamentals
Proficiency with Flotherm, Flotherm XT, FloEFD, Icepak or equivalent tools
Experience taking thermal designs from modeling through physical validation
Designed cooling solutions for high-power commercial electronic systems
Worked closely with technical suppliers and cross-functional engineering teams.
You should also understand data-center liquid-cooling systems, including:
In-chassis cooling loops
Rack interfaces and associated hardware
In-rack or in-row coolant distribution units
Connections between equipment cooling and facility-side infrastructure.
Experience with networking, server, telecom or comparable high-power rack-mounted equipment is particularly relevant.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of technically challenging thermal systems within an experienced team developing next-generation data-center hardware.
