Job Summary

Job Description

To support our extraordinary teams who build great products and contribute to our growth, we’re looking to add a Senior Thermal Systems Engineer located in Littleton, MA.

Reporting to the Product Manager the Senior Thermal Systems Engineer will own the end-to-end architecture, analysis, validation, and deployment of direct-to-chip (D2C) cooling systems used to cool high-TDP CPUs/GPUs/accelerators. They will be the technical leader partnering with Product Management, Mechanical/Electrical Engineering, Manufacturing, Quality, Reliability, and key customers to deliver robust, scalable products that meet performance, reliability, and cost targets.

What a typical day looks like:

Own thermal architecture & modeling

  • Define system-level thermal requirements (TDP range, ΔT, coolant temperature, flow rate, pressure drop, acoustic & power budgets).

  • Apply first principles in fluid dynamics and heat transfer to analyze design concept thermal performance

  • Build and validate 1D/3D models (e.g., FloEFD, Icepak, MacroFlow, ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL) for cold plates, manifolds, quick-disconnects (QDs), pumps, and CDUs.

  • Perform sensitivity trade-offs (flow distribution, fin geometry, microchannel optimization, TIM selection, manifold topology).

Design liquid cooling subsystems

  • Specify and refine cold plates, CDUs, manifolds, hoses/QDs, reservoirs, filters, sensors, and controls.

  • Collaborate with ME/EE on mechanical stack-up, materials, corrosion mitigation (galvanic compatibility), and leak risk reduction.

  • Define DFX (DFM/DFA/DFT) and lead EVT/DVT/PVT from prototypes to mass production.

Validate and qualify

  • Develop test plans for thermal performance, pressure integrity, leak detection, long-term reliability (HALT/HASS), and contamination control (particulates, biogrowth).

  • Execute lab and rack-scale testing (pump curves, flow balance, ΔP mapping, heat load emulation, transient behavior).

  • Drive failure analysis and corrective actions (FMEAs, 8D/PPS).

Partner across the business

  • Work with Product Management on PRDs, roadmaps, and business cases.

  • Support manufacturing process development (leak/pressure test stations, purge and fill, cleanliness criteria) and supplier selection/qualification.

  • Engage with customers: define requirements, run pilots, analyze fleet telemetry, and support deployment at scale.

The experience we’re looking to add to our team:

  • BS/MS in Mechanical Engineering or Aerospace Engineering or related field (PhD a plus).

  • 5+ years experience in thermal design/validation for high-power electronics (preferably data center/server/HPC).

  • Excellent first principles knowledge in fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and heat transfer

  • Proven expertise in liquid cooling, including CFD, pressure drop/flow modeling, and thermal metrology.

  • Hands-on with lab instrumentation (flow meters, pressure transducers, thermocouples/RTDs, DAQ, leak detectors) and test automation (Python, LabVIEW, or similar).

  • Experience bringing products from EVT → DVT → PVT → ramp, including DFX and supplier engagement.

  • Excellent technical communication and documentation skills.
