We are looking for a highly motivated Senior Thermal Product Design Engineer to join this dynamic and innovative team to support the next generation of products and thermal solutions. As a member within our One Team model, you will support collaborative product design and development activities focusing on one business and possibly all business segments including but not limited to Data Center, Automotive, Robotics, Gaming graphics, and NVIDIA Shield products. Your contributions will be towards product development and supporting translation of thermal technologies into designs, specifications, and manufacturing from package to systems. Your design of new thermal solutions is essential, so that as a company we can anticipate and enable revolutionary products. Be an integral member of a multi-functional collaborative team that defines and develops thermal solutions from concept to production.
What you'll be doing:
On this team, the goals and objectives are carried out through a high degree of collaboration and use of state-of-the-art methods and technologies, analytical and computational analysis, and laboratory validation. These methods and processes are developed within NVIDIA’s thermal team. Part of your responsibility is driving trade-offs and validation aligned with product goals and contributing to thermal solution designs from conceptualization through mass production. You will:
Work in a dynamic and fast-paced product development environment
Design new thermal solutions to enable NVIDIA’s next generation of products
Investigate relevant technologies and design concepts
Perform thermal simulations using industry standard CFD tools
Characterize thermal designs and electronic assemblies: Building-up physical prototype assemblies, instrumenting those assemblies for testing, carrying out testing with specific diagnostic software, summarizing data, disassembling, modifying and reassembling systems
Present analysis summaries and test reports
What we need to see:
BSME minimum (or equivalent experience)
5+ years relevant experience in electronics thermal design
Deep understanding and passion for heat transfer and fluid dynamics
Strong proficiency in at least one thermal simulation tool (e.g., Icepak, Flotherm, Fluent)
Hands-on experience and proficiency in thermal testing (i.e., thermal sensors, using automated data acquisition, system assembly, and data analysis techniques)
Strong interpersonal skills, and specifically a proven ability to effectively guide and collaborate within a dynamic environment
Background in leading resources including consultants, suppliers, and manufacturing partners
Ways to stand out from the crowd:
Extensive experience with electronics cooling in one of NVIDIA’s core business areas
Well-rounded background in product conceptualization, design, and manufacturing with good knowledge/experience from package to product level
Knowledge of thermal solution manufacturing processes
Experience with engineering statistical analysis methods and/or statistical process control for high volume manufacturing
NVIDIA is widely considered to be one of the technology world’s most desirable employers. We have some of the most forward-thinking people in the world working for us. Are you a creative engineer who loves a challenge? Come and be part of the best thermal team in the industry.
You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
