Performs tasks such as, but not limited to, the following:

Lead thermal engineering evaluations for new products, design decisions, and risk mitigation.
Guide thermal management in DFx, PCB layout, and heat dissipation design (compliance with ASHRAE, NEBS).
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (design, manufacturing, quality, reliability) to solve thermal issues.
Drive root cause analysis with CFD simulations; manage failure analysis at manufacturing sites.
Lead verification plans for certification programs; review reliability test results.
Develop thermal testing standards; guide team in using thermal testing tools (thermocouples, IR cameras, wind tunnels).
Support thermal certification of second-source components; review heat dissipation compatibility.
Participate in factory readiness and production line thermal setup.
Coordinate cross-project resources (equipment, manpower) to avoid conflicts.
Conduct training, build knowledge base, and share best practices on thermal debugging.
Research next-gen cooling technologies (liquid cooling, AI workload thermal management) and evaluate feasibility.

Knowledge/Skills/Competencies

Proficiency in heat transfer principles (conduction, convection, radiation) and fluid dynamics.
Skilled in using CFD tools such as ANSYS Icepak and FloTHERM, as well as CAD software such as SolidWorks.
