Job summary

Teradyne in North Reading, MA is seeking a Mechanical Engineer specialized in thermal to lead the Titan HP system-level test platform with integrated subsystems like pneumatics, robotics, and advanced cooling methods.

The role emphasizes modeling, optimization of liquid and air cooling, and developing verification strategies for CPU/GPU/AI silicon packages. You will run tests, analyze data, and drive rapid prototyping with cross-functional teams.

Qualifications

• Education & experience: B.S. in Mechanical Engineering (M.S. preferred) and 2+ years in machine design or mechanical engineering.
• Design & analysis fluency: Proficiency in SolidWorks with PDM/MRP; strong ANSI Y14.5 & GD&T; experience in FEA, tolerance stack-up, and analytical validation.
• Thermal/fluids competency: Hands-on design/integration of thermal, fluid, and pneumatic systems; expertise with ANSYS Fluent/Icepak and server air-cooling strategies.
• Data, controls & professional strengths: Familiarity with LabVIEW, MATLAB/Simulink, DAQ; exposure to Minitab/Python/R; self-driven, systems thinker with clear CAD communication and cross-functional collaboration.

Responsibilities

• Own platform design & integration: Lead the Titan HP system-level test platform, integrating precision subsystems (pneumatics, robotics/automation, fluid cooling, rack infrastructure).
• Drive thermal architecture: Model and optimize liquid/air cooling (ANSYS Fluent, Icepak; SolidWorks Flow Simulation/Flowtherm) for advanced packages and develop verification/validation/correlation strategies.
• Run lab programs end-to-end: Plan tests, set up instrumentation, analyze data, and translate simulation results into experimental proof.
• Accelerate prototyping & manufacturing: Leverage quick-turn methods (3D printing, internal shop, vendors) and coordinate supply chain for novel processes.
