Job Description

General Summary:

Seeking a thermal engineer for the Design Technology (Dtech) SoC thermal analysis team. The candidate would deliver critical thermal analysis results to enable key product decisions, develop and drive implementation of new thermal analysis methodologies, and work to optimize thermally constrained SoC performance for mobile and compute products

The candidate will engage in the following tasks:

  • Support SoC design by providing thermal analysis throughout the product development cycle to identify and address thermal risks, including thermal analysis, post silicon validation and working with external customers.
  • Conduct SoC level thermal analysis to support architecture and product specification studies and Power Performance Area Thermal Optimization.
  • Model and recommend SoC-level floorplan, performance, and thermal control optimization.
  • Develop new computational thermal methodologies and software tools, develop and implement new work processes to enable scalability and efficiency, work with cross-functional and cross-organizational teams to achieve goals.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Master's or PhD in Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Strong background in heat transfer and fluid mechanics simulation methods and fundamentals (CFD or FEM) through graduate level course work or industry experience.
  • Strong background in computer programming for numerical simulation and scripting skills for automation.
  • Experience with thermal simulation methodologies and simulation tools such as ANSYS ICEPAK
  • Experience with measurement: IR camera, thermocouples
  • Experience with thermal materials: Graphite sheet, thermal paste, TIM, heat pipe.
  • The candidate should have excellent people skills and used to operating in networked and virtual team environments. Natural self-starter, self-motivated, independent and resourceful problem solver. Outstanding oral and written communication skills capable of presenting persuasively to all levels of the organization in an articulate and succinct manner. Active listening ability. The candidate should be able to establish relationships to build credibility and influence at all levels of the organization in appropriate manners.
