Senior Principal Thermal Architect, Liquid Cooling

Hewlett Packard Enterprise; Sunnyvale (CA); Sur place; USD 181 000 - 367 000; Plein temps

Résumé du poste

Hewlett Packard Enterprise in Sunnyvale, CA, seeks a Senior Principal Thermal Engineer with deep expertise in liquid cooling and high‑performance hardware. You will lead architecture, validation, and cross‑functional programs to improve performance, reliability, and cost.

Responsibilities include defining thermal architectures, CFD modeling, collaborating across mechanical, electrical, and manufacturing teams, mentoring engineers, and influencing executive decisions as you drive cutting‑edge

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Sciences, or a closely related engineering discipline; an advanced degree is preferred.
• 15+ years of relevant engineering experience for the Senior Principal level, with extensive hands‑on experience leading electronics thermal design and liquid‑cooling development.

Responsabilités

• Establish and define organization-wide thermal architectures, design methodologies, specifications, and validation practices for liquid-cooled hardware across multiple platforms and organizations; contribute to long-range technology roadmaps.
• Serve as the go-to technical leader for direct liquid cooling, including cold plates, manifolds, quick disconnects, hoses and piping, pumps, heat exchangers, coolant distribution units, facility-water interfaces, immersion systems, hybrid cooling, and emerging two-phase solutions.
• Lead system-level thermal architecture, analysis, and design from concept and feasibility through qualification, NPI, manufacturing ramp, and sustaining engineering for high‑power ASICs, optics, power components, and densely packed electronic modules.
• Perform and direct thermal‑fluid CFD modeling using FloTHERM, FloEFD, Macroflow, or equivalent tools; correlate models with test data and translate results into clear design decisions and margin improvements.
• Define fluid, thermal, mechanical, reliability, serviceability, manufacturability, safety, and regulatory requirements, including flow and pressure budgets, pressure drop, temperature uniformity, material and coolant compatibility, corrosion control, leak prevention and detection, contamination control, and failure‑response strategies.
• Develop and oversee validation plans and empirical testing for component, subsystem, chassis, rack, and facility interfaces; guide engineers and technicians in instrumentation, test execution, data analysis, and root‑cause investigations.
• Review designs and project activities for compliance with technology, quality, reliability, and development standards; drive valuable recommendations and innovations into platform architectures.
