How You Will Contribute

We are seeking a motivated and talented Thermal Design Engineer to join our team. In this role, you will help design and develop next-generation optical switching and transport products, guiding thermal solutions from concept through production. Working closely with cross-functional teams, you will be responsible for ensuring that complex electro-optical systems meet thermal performance, reliability, and operational requirements across a wide range of environmental conditions. Your work will combine thermal analysis, CFD simulation, and experimental validation to drive innovative and robust product designs.

As a key member of the design organization, you will:

Define and develop thermal architectures for new products and technologies
Perform thermal analysis and CFD simulations to evaluate and optimize product designs
Plan and execute laboratory testing to validate thermal performance and correlate results with simulation models
Identify thermal risks and develop mitigation strategies throughout the product development cycle
Collaborate with mechanical, electrical, optical, software, and manufacturing teams to deliver high-quality products
Support the introduction of new products into manufacturing and contribute to sustaining engineering activities for existing platforms

Required Qualifications

Master's or PhD degree in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in Heat Transfer and Fluid Mechanics
5+ years of experience in thermal design and verification of electronic systems
Hands-on experience with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software
Strong background in engineering laboratory testing, data analysis, and experimental methods
Excellent communication, collaboration, and interpersonal skills

Assets

Experience using FloTHERM for thermal modeling and simulation
Experience with Creo CAD software
Knowledge of mechanical design, manufacturing processes, and product fabrication techniques

Salary Range: The annual salary range for this position is $88,700 - $141,700.
