Placements24; George; Hybride; ZAR 1 000 000 - 1 600 000; Plein temps

Avantages offerts par ce poste

Fully remote work

Résumé du poste

Placements24 is seeking a Principal Mechanical Engineer with a specialization in thermal systems to lead the design, analysis and optimization of advanced thermal management solutions. This fully remote role allows contribution from anywhere in South Africa while driving thermodynamics, heat transfer and fluid dynamics in next-generation products.

You will mentor engineers, collaborate with cross-functional teams, and influence long-term thermal strategy for product roadmaps.

Qualifications

• Master's or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in Thermal Sciences or Heat Transfer.
• 10+ years of extensive experience in mechanical design with a focus on thermal system design/analysis.
• Proven CFD expertise and thermal modeling techniques (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+).
• Strong knowledge of heat transfer, thermodynamics and fluid dynamics.
• Experience designing/testing thermal solutions for demanding environments.

Responsabilités

• Lead thermal management system design (heat sinks, cooling loops, heat exchangers) for high-performance applications.
• Perform advanced thermal analysis using CFD and simulations to optimize designs.
• Develop and validate experimental test setups for thermal performance characterization.
• Define technical specs for thermal components and subsystems.
• Mentor junior engineers and lead technical teams.
