Thermal Test Engineer

Summary: We are looking for a Thermal Test Engineer to join our Hardware R&D team, focusing on validating the thermal performance of AI hardware products. The role involves designing and executing thermal test plans, operating testing equipment, and collaborating with various teams to optimize thermal performance. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in thermal testing and data analysis, particularly within the electronics or semiconductor industry.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and execute thermal test plans for components, PCBs, and system-level assemblies.
• Operate and maintain thermal testing equipment (e.g., environmental chambers, thermocouples, data loggers, IR cameras).
• Collect, analyze, and report thermal test data with detailed documentation.
• Support validation of simulation results (CFD, FloEFD) through physical testing.
• Collaborate with mechanical/hardware design, electrical, and packaging teams to optimize thermal performance.
• Participate in root cause analysis for thermal issues and propose corrective actions.
• Ensure test processes comply with safety and industry standards.

Key Skills:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 2-4 years of hands-on experience in thermal testing (preferably in electronics or semiconductor industry).
• Familiarity with thermal measurement tools (IR camera, thermocouple systems, Data Acquisition Systems).
• Experience in setting up and running thermal cycling, stress, and reliability tests.
• Strong data analysis and reporting skills using Python, MATLAB, or Excel.
• Working knowledge of thermal simulation tools (e.g., FloEFD, ANSYS Icepak) is a plus.
• Good communication and documentation skills in English.
