JOB TITLE: Technical Staff, Thermal Engineering Technologist
The Technical Staff, Thermal Engineering Technologist joins the Engineering Technologist team to drive the architecture of next-generation large-scale AI infrastructure. This role involves designing end-to-end solutions from servers to data centers, specifically focusing on accelerated compute, AI fabrics, and AI-optimized storage. You will develop power-centric solutions for dense IT environments, optimizing cost, energy efficiency, and performance. Key responsibilities include designing air and liquid cooling solutions, defining hardware topologies for AI workloads, and performing strategic analysis of industry capabilities. You must possess advanced knowledge of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermal science. The role requires collaborating with customers, suppliers, and ODMs to manage mechanical, thermal, and electrical aspects of system design while authoring architecture specifications for high-volume production environments.
Drive the architecture of end-to-end solutions from servers to data centers, including air and liquid cooling and power distribution.
Innovate power-centric solutions for high-density IT environments to optimize cost, energy efficiency, and performance.
Design air, liquid, and other cooling solutions based on specific data center and customer requirements.
Define hardware topologies and architectures optimized for high-performance AI workloads.
Engage with high-profile AI customers to tune systems for maximum performance and specific application needs.
Propose BOMs and SKUs to meet technical requirements and review them with engineering teams.
Develop solution overviews and author architecture specifications to guide the development of future products.
Coordinate with suppliers and ODMs on mechanical, thermal, and electrical aspects of system design.
What we're looking for
Experience collaborating with customers on architectural and design requirements spanning IT Systems to Datacenter Thermal technologies.
Advanced working knowledge of heat transfer and the ability to analyze component/system level problems and apply advanced cooling technologies.
Solid understanding and knowledge of and relationships with key suppliers of data center power and thermal management components.
Ability to collaborate with technology partners and supply base on cutting-edge technology development and work with ODMs on mechanical, thermal, and electrical aspects.
Understanding of competitive and business needs while developing technical solutions, including knowledge of manufacturing processes and tolerance control requirements.
Experience interfacing effectively with suppliers to coordinate research and information on products or services of value to the company.
Ability to travel 20%-30% to assess customer requirements and develop blueprints.
15+ years of related experience (preferred); Bachelor’s degree or equivalent in Mechanical Engineering with emphasis on thermal science, fluid dynamics, and/or heat transfer (preferred).
