Senior Thermal Engineer, Expeditionary AI / HPC Data Centers joins the Thermal Engineering team to manage thermal design for air-transportable, modular compute and command-and-control infrastructure. This role involves designing cooling systems for high-density racks in austere environments with extreme temperatures and limited power. You will perform heat transfer and fluid dynamics analysis using first principles, MATLAB, Python, and CAD tools like Siemens NX or SolidWorks. Responsibilities include developing air-side and water-side cooling architectures, performing thermal FEA/CFD simulations, and leading prototype builds and field testing. The role addresses the technical challenge of maintaining reliable high-density compute performance in remote locations. Key competencies include expertise in HVAC, chilled water plants, liquid cooling, and trade studies for PUE/WUE efficiency. You will ensure equipment remains within limits while balancing reliability against capital costs for mission-critical infrastructure.
