Mechanical / Thermal Engineer

THE ROLE:

Join an innovativemechanical/thermal engineering team at the forefront of advanced liquid cooling technology. As a Mechanical/Thermal Engineer,you'llplay a hands-on role in bringingcutting-edgecooling solutions from concept to reality-designing sleek cold plates andwork withsophisticated Coolant Distribution Units (CDUs) that solve real-world thermal challenges for high-performance systems.

This is an exciting opportunity for an engineer eager to dive deep into thermal-fluid systems. You'll split your time between the lab and your CAD workstation, running validation tests one day and optimizing designs the next. Working within our collaborative Agile framework, you'll interact daily with experienced thermal engineers, test technicians, and cross-functional product teams who will mentor you as you grow your expertise in thermal management.

Whetheryou'reanalyzing heat transfer performance, building prototypes, or troubleshooting in the lab,you'llgain comprehensive exposure to the full product development lifecycle. Ifyou'repassionate about thermal engineering, love hands-on problem-solving, and want to see your designs come to life in a fast-paced, team-oriented environment, this role offers the perfect launchpad for your engineering career.

THE PERSON:

The right person for this role thrives in a dynamic, fast-paced environment where technical excellence meets collaborative innovation.You'renaturally curious and driven to continuously expand your skillset-whetherthat'smastering a new thermal simulation tool, diving deeper into two-phase cooling phenomena, or learning from theexpertiseof senior engineers around you.

Success in this position requiresstrong communicationskills and the ability to work seamlessly across boundaries.You'llregularly partner with electrical engineers, product managers, test technicians, and manufacturing teams, so being able to clearly articulate technical concepts, actively listen to different perspectives, and build consensus is essential.You'reequally comfortable presenting test results to your immediate team as you are explaining thermal design constraints to non-technical stakeholders.

You embracechallengeas an opportunity to grow. Our competitive, high-stakesenvironment demands resilience, adaptability, and a solutions-oriented mindset. When a prototypedoesn'tperform as expected or requirementsshiftmid-sprint, you stay composed, pivot quickly, and work collaboratively to find the best path forward.

Above all, you'rea team player who values both individual contribution and collective success. You take ownership of your deliverables while recognizing that the best solutionsemergethrough collaboration. Ifyou'resomeone who thrives on learning, enjoys the energy of cross-functional teamwork, and is energized rather than intimidated by ambitious technical challenges,you'llfind a home on our thermal engineering team.
