Full Job Description
As a Thermal Solutions Development Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in our Silicon Codesign Group, transforming thermal solution concepts into lab-ready builds and beyond.

Whatyou will be doing:
  • Build thermal solutions for engineering characterization and validation of next-gen GPU/SOC products, ensuring flawless delivery from concept to lab.
  • Drive end-to-end development and deployment of thermal solutions, collaborating with internal teams and external vendors on build requirements, prototype evaluation, test system integration, and software automation.
  • Improve thermal design processes by incorporating feedback and findings, developing workflow and maintaining our world-class standards.
  • Work closely with system architects, chip and board designers, and software/firmware engineers in a dynamic and high-energy environment to bring industry-defining products to market.
  • Apply AI-enabled approaches and AI tools to accelerate design iteration, test planning, and characterization/validation triage (e.g., requirements/spec summarization, experiment prioritization, log/telemetry summarization, anomaly/outlier detection), improving cycle time, coverage, and traceability while validating outputs against physics, specs, and lab measurements.
  • Partner with AI/tooling teams as the thermal domain SME to define use-cases, success criteria, and evaluation methods; provide feedback to improve tool reliability and usability.


What we need to see:
  • Bachelor/Masters in Electrical Engineering, Thermal/Energy, Mechanical Engineering, or related majors (or equivalent experience), with 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Strong understanding of thermal management principles and fluid dynamics.
  • In-depth knowledge of sophisticated cooling solutions and high heat flux problems.
  • Outstanding communication and program management skills.
  • Proficiency in CAD software for crafting and modifying 3D models of electronic components and cooling systems.
  • Solid understanding of silicon testing, board build, and software knowledge.
  • Comfort adopting AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly (effective prompting, verification/traceability, and data/IP hygiene) to improve productivity-without expectation of building AI agent infrastructure or training models.


Ways to stand out from the crowd:
  • Experience working with external vendors on building and deployment.
  • Familiarity with statistical methods and tools for data analysis.
  • Experience applying modern data analytics/ML concepts to characterization data (trend analysis, outlier detection, regression/surrogate modeling, or experiment design/optimization) to reduce debug time and improve coverage.
  • A "go-getter, can get it done" attitude and independent 'out-of-box' thinking.


Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions. The base salary range is 168,000 USD - 264,500 USD for Level 4, and 196,000 USD - 310,500 USD for Level 5.

You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.

Applications for this job will be accepted at least until June 15, 2026.
