Senior Thermal Engineer, Expeditionary AI / HPC Data Centers

What you'll do

• Design cooling and heat-rejection systems from rack and chip level through the facility, evaluating air, water, and liquid-cooling architectures.
• Model and validate thermal performance; lead prototype builds, field testing, commissioning, and operational validation.
• Conduct trade studies and root-cause analysis, develop analysis tools, and present technical status to internal and customer reviews.

What they ask for

• MS or higher in mechanical engineering, applied physics, or related field focused on heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and HVAC.
• In-depth understanding of heat transfer and fluid dynamics.
• 5+ years designing thermal management systems for data centers or comparable mission-critical infrastructure.
• Full-spectrum data center thermal experience, steady-state and transient thermal system modeling, equipment validation/testing, and CAD experience with Siemens NX or SolidWorks.

Nice to have

• Python or MATLAB coding; thermal FEA/CFD experience with STAR-CCM+, ANSYS, Icepak or FloEFD.
• Familiarity with PUE/WUE, high-density AI/HPC compute, or austere modular data centers; ability to obtain and hold a U.S. Secret security clearance.
