We are looking for an exceptional Thermal Engineer to tackle the challenges of high-power ASIC’s, next generation cooling, and high-density I/O. We focus in various cooling solutions, from forced air, convection cooling to liquid cooling in Modular or fixed to rack platforms. You will work very closely with Hardware & mechanical Engineering, Product Management/Marketing, Product Operations team, Global Supplier Management (GSM), External Vendors/Suppliers, Manufacturing Operations, and CM partners.
Your Impact
The Thermal Engineer Technical Leader helps to conceptualize the design and develop innovative electronic systems from a thermal aspect. You will impact and shape the development of cutting-edge network gears and hardware designs. Use your strong technical background in computational fluid dynamic, acoustic and thermal knowledge to develop and innovate next generation cooling solution. This is not limited to forced air cooling, but also free convection, liquid cool solution, and beyond. You will collaborate with Cisco cross-functional teams to architect, define, build, and validate the Enterprise switches, high density I/O, and next generation ASIC cooling challenges.
Primary Responsibilities:
•Architect, design, and deliver electronic enclosure’s cooling solution per customer, marketing and specification of product requirements
