  • Conduct detailed assessments of thermal performance at component, subsystem, and system level.

  • Design and evaluate thermal interfaces, materials, and hardware (e.g. radiators, heat sinks, cold plates).

  • Translate system requirements into precise thermal design specifications, ensuring compliance with industry standards.

  • Develop and execute thermal test plans, including environmental testing, thermal cycling, and thermal vacuum tests.

  • Analyse test data and correlate results with models to validate and refine designs.

  • Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and systems engineering teams to integrate thermal solutions effectively.

  • Prepare detailed documentation, reports, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.

  • Support troubleshooting and root cause analysis of thermal issues during development, qualification, and production phases.

Required Qualifications and Experience

  • Degree and professional experience in Thermal Engineering or a related discipline.

  • Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.

  • Proficiency with thermal analysis and simulation software.

  • Experience with data analysis and engineering test instrumentation.

  • Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

  • Strong written and verbal communication skills for conveying complex technical information clearly.

Desirable Attributes

  • Experience in electronics cooling, battery thermal management, or energy systems.

  • Knowledge of materials science and advanced thermal materials (TIMs, insulations, coatings).

  • Experience with thermal vacuum testing or environmental qualification testing.

  • Familiarity with systems engineering or reliability engineering methodologies.
