Job description

We are strengthening our thermal capability with experts on thermal design, simulation, and analysis. As a thermal designer in the NI-IP organization, you will be responsible for the design development of the latest products and prototypes. This position requires self-starters who can manage complex designs from initial concepts through to production release. You will work with highly motivated teams of engineering professionals and have personal responsibility to drive your designs through the process.

Qualifications

Your skills and experience

• Mechanical or Thermal Engineering degree or equivalent.
• 5+ years of experience in electronics cooling, preferably in the telecommunications industry with a good understanding of telecommunication network architecture and design.
• Experience using CFD thermal analysis tools (Flomerics tools from Siemens) and other heat transfer related analysis tools.
• Additional experience in electronics packaging would be an asset.
• Good communication skills, both verbal and written.
• Ability to work efficiently both independently and as part of a team.
• Self-motivated enthusiastic team player with good written/verbal communication skills.
• Excellent analytical skills and ability to build relationships across multiple teams.

Responsibilities

• Participate in the design and development of complex mechanical designs, including product architecture, detailed specification definition for complex systems, technology (component) selection, and the application of design tools/methods.
• Work on device packaging, PCB assembly, and system-level products/solutions.
• Collaborate with multi-disciplinary design teams and contribute at all stages of the product lifecycle, from architecture through design, testing, and final release, to find optimal thermal solutions for our products.
• Conduct CFD simulations using industry-leading tools.
• Perform empirical testing to validate and support simulations.
• Investigate industry trends and interface with thermal component suppliers to learn and assess new technologies.
• Provide sizing and estimates of work and review of product development schedules.
