Summary

We are seeking a seasoned Thermal Management Engineer with 10+ years of experience in Surface Mount Technology (SMT) electronics manufacturing. This role is pivotal in ensuring thermal reliability and performance of densely packed PCB assemblies, designing optimized heat dissipation solutions, and supporting product development from concept through production.

Detailed Description

Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

• Collaborate with cross functional teams (design, mechanical, assembly, reliability, test) to design and validate thermal solutions for high power, high density PCB assemblies (routers, switches, servers, AI accelerators).
• Support the design and manufacturing teams to specify, select and manufacture the cooling hardware.
• Lead the selection, specification and testing of thermal interface materials (TIMs), phase change materials, coatings, and liquid or hybrid cooling technologies.
• Develop and refine thermal models to preform thermal and heat transfer calculations to define system cooling requirements and properties.
• Support/lead thermal simulations (CFD, FEA) and empirical validation to insure design and hardware are delivering the desired performance and reliability requirements.
• Collaborate with design, process, and quality teams to fulfil regulatory, customer compliance and industry standards with documentation and testing.
• Support DFM and NPI efforts with a focus on thermal performance and manufacturability. Lead thermal risk assessments and contribute to DFMEA, FMEA and reliability planning.
• Support root cause analysis of thermal-related failures.
• Stay ahead of emerging cooling technologies and thermal/power management to support the company technology road mapping.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

• Strong understanding of heat flux, conduction, convection, radiation and cooling methods in densely packed electronic assemblies.
• Proficient in using thermal simulation tools such us ANSYS Icepak, Cadence, FloTHERM, COMSOL.
• Direct experience with SMT processes, PCB material stuck-ups, and thermal management methods including heat sinks, liquid cooling, TIM, liquid metals…etc.
• Solid knowledge of IPC and JEDEC thermal testing and reliability standards.
• Proven problem solving ability, strong communication skills and effectiveness in cross-functional collaboration across design, process and manufacturing teams.

Preferred Skills & Certifications:

• Six Sigma or Lean Manufacturing certification
• IPC-A-610 / J-STD-001 familiarity
• Experience with high-reliability sectors (e.g., aerospace, automotive, medical, data centers)
