Senior Thermal Engineer, Expeditionary AI / HPC Data Centers joins the Thermal Engineering team to manage thermal systems for air-transportable, modular compute and command-and-control infrastructure. This role involves owning the full development lifecycle of cooling systems for high-density data centers in austere environments with extreme temperatures. You will design and analyze air-side and water-side cooling, including chilled water plants, dry coolers, and direct-to-chip or immersion liquid cooling. Key responsibilities include performing first-principles calculations, conducting trade studies on reliability and efficiency metrics like PUE and WUE, and leading prototype builds and field testing. Required expertise includes heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and HVAC systems. Technical skills include CAD software such as Siemens NX or SolidWorks, along with Python or MATLAB for modeling. You will also perform thermal FEA/CFD using tools like STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak, or FloEFD to ensure system reliability.
