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
