Summary

As a Senior Subject Matter Expert (SME) in Thermal Engineering, you will take a technical authority role in leading thermal-related technical decisions , cross-team collaboration, and problem-solving throughout the entire product development and mass production management process. You will also be responsible for inheriting and innovating thermal engineering expertise to ensure that product thermal management designs meet top industry standards and support mass production.

Detailed Description

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

Lead thermal engineering evaluations for new products, design decisions, and risk mitigation.

Guide thermal management in DFx, PCB layout, and heat dissipation design (compliance with ASHRAE, NEBS).

Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, reliability) to solve thermal issues.

Drive root cause analysis with CFD simulations; manage failure analysis at manufacturing sites.

Lead verification plans for certification programs; review reliability test results.

Develop thermal testing standards; guide team in using thermal testing tools (thermocouples, IR cameras, wind tunnels).

Support thermal certification of second-source components; review heat dissipation compatibility.

Participate in factory readiness and production line thermal setup.

Coordinate cross-project resources (equipment, manpower) to avoid conflicts.

Conduct training, build knowledge base, and share best practices on thermal debugging.

Research next-gen cooling technologies (liquid cooling, AI workload thermal management) and evaluate feasibility.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

Proficiency in heat transfer principles (conduction, convection, radiation) and fluid dynamics.

Skilled in using CFD tools such as ANSYS Icepak and FloTHERM, as well as CAD software such as SolidWorks.

In-depth understanding of data center cooling technologies (air cooling/liquid cooling solutions), thermal impact of server PCBs, and heat dissipation challenges of AI/HPC hardware. Ability to interpret and revise industry standards.

Strong leadership, strategic thinking, cross-team communication, and knowledge transfer skills.

Excellent command in English communications

Typical Experience

10+ years of experience in thermal engineering in data centers, HPC, or cloud computing fields.

Experience in leading thermal management projects for server racks, CDUs, and edge computing devices; successful cases in solving extremely complex thermal issues (such as heat dissipation for high-density GPU clusters).

Typical Education

A Bachelor's Degree in Electronic Engineering, Electromechanical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related fields, or an equivalent combination of education and experience.

Advanced studies in business/operations/technology are recommended.
