Job description

Hyve Company Overview

Hyve Solutions transforms complex engineering challenges into production reality for technology innovators building AI, cloud, and connected infrastructure. As a US-based manufacturing partner, the company rapidly delivers fast, agile execution through deep technical partnerships and co-innovation, and supply chain clarity. Hyve’s integrated ODM, CM, and SI capabilities eliminate vendor complexity while accelerating time-to-market with single-partner accountability from design through scale. The company co-innovates with deep engineering expertise, treating customer success as its own while building tomorrow's digital infrastructure.

Core Responsibilities

System thermal design. Develop and optimize airflow paths, heatsinks, cold plates, and fan/ducting solutions for high-power GPU, CPU, VR, and memory components across air-cooled and liquid-cooled platforms.

Thermal modeling and analysis. Perform CFD and thermal simulations to guide component placement, system layout, and cooling margin evaluation under worst-case workloads and environmental conditions.

Lab validation. Instrument systems with temperature, flow, and pressure sensors; execute thermal characterization, stress testing, and margin validation, and correlate results with simulation.

Bring-up and debug. Support thermal bring-up during EVT/DVT/PVT, debug hotspots and airflow/flow inefficiencies, and help drive corrective actions through factory ramp.

Cross-functional execution. Collaborate with mechanical, hardware, power, and manufacturing teams to embed thermal requirements into board layouts, mechanical stackups, and rack packaging, and participate in design reviews with data-driven recommendations.

Required Qualifications & Skills

Education: Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related discipline.

Experience: 8+ years of hands‑on thermal design experience for servers, GPU platforms, or high‑power electronics, including system bring‑up and validation. Exposure to liquid cooling and hyperscale deployments preferred.

Technical expertise: Solid working knowledge of airflow and thermal design, heatsinks and cold plates, CFD/thermal modeling tools, and lab instrumentation and measurement techniques.

Working style: Hands‑on problem solver comfortable in lab environments, with the ability to turn thermal data into practical design changes and communicate clearly across teams.

Compensation

The anticipated base salary range for this position is $110,000-185,000 annually. Actual compensation will be determined based on experience, skills, qualifications, and business needs.
