【Responsibilities】
· Designs engineering solutions for mechanical and thermal hardware, electronics enclosures, and production tooling based on established engineering principles and in accordance with development technology practices and guidelines.
· Develops and implements parameters and test plans for new and existing designs, including validation of tolerances, form/fit/function, shock and vibration, electromagnetic interference, safety, reliability, developing fan curves, system power measurements & acoustics.
· Interact with mechanical and electrical engineers to develop optimum platform design architecture, new and innovative concept ideas using the latest technologies based on marketing requirement, and review RFQ process and new components.
· Collaborates and communicates with management, internal, and outsourced development partners regarding design status, project progress, and issue resolution.
· Leads a project and collaborates internal and outsourced development partners to develop reliable, cost effective and high quality solutions for moderately- complex products.
· Represents the thermal team for all phases of larger and more-complex development projects.
· Drives innovation and integration of new technologies into projects and activities in the thermal design through HW/FW developments.
· Drives POC (proof of concept) with HW and FW/SW development to prove the new technologies and implementation to further products
· Provides guidance and mentoring to less- experienced staff members.
【Education and Experience Required】
· Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on thermal fluids
· Typically 5-10 years experience.
【Knowledge and Skills】
· Strong analytical and problem solving skills.
· Strong understanding and experience in electronics packaging.
· Experience with fan, heat pipe, and vapor chamber design
· Experience using various thermal interface materials
