Applications Engineer

Job Summary:

We are seeking a passionate Thermal Application/Project Engineer to lead the cluster-level architecture, design, analysis, and validation of liquid cooling technologies for HPC customer needs. This role emphasizes a design process based on estimating, simulating, and testing the thermal performance of new products and architectures. The ideal candidate will possess a strong background in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and implementing thermal solutions in enterprise electronics.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and validate thermal/liquid cooling solutions for HPC cluster platforms in accordance with industry standards and customer specifications.
• Evaluate system layout, power consumption, TCO, PID, BOM, acoustics, sensors, and related mechanical testing.
• Perform cluster-level thermal analysis, definition, and testing, including chamber test setup, thermocouple installation, and automated data acquisition.
• Conduct thermal debugging, system optimization, and documentation.
• Oversee the development, design, documentation, and deployment of cluster-level liquid cooling customer projects.
• Handle additional responsibilities such as rack integration, documentation, facilities preparation, on-site service, and support for PM/Sales/Field Application Engineers on customer projects.
• Collaborate with cross-functional product development teams and international partners to meet reliability, power efficiency, system performance, and cost requirements.

Qualifications:

• Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace, Thermal, or Mechanical Engineering; a Master’s degree is a plus.
• Experience with server/PC products focusing on mechanical or thermal functions is preferred.
• Proficient knowledge in thermal management hardware, heat transfer materials, heat exchangers, pumps, and cooling devices at a rack/cluster level.
• Strong skills in mechanical/thermal engineering analysis, validation, documentation, and communication.
• Familiarity with both mechanical/thermal and electrical/power aspects, including power distribution, AC power types, power calculations, DC power, and regulatory/safety considerations, is a plus.
• Experience with server/rack liquid cooling solutions, including DCL (direct chip liquid cooling), rear door liquid cooling, liquid immersion cooling, and chilled water piping, is advantageous.
• Must demonstrate a strong work ethic, the ability to thrive in a team environment, and adapt to a fast-paced setting.
• Excellent organizational and problem-solving skills.
• Effective communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Willingness to travel for on-site customer deployments.
