Thermal Engineering (Approx. 50%)

• ​Participate in the thermal design review and validation process for electronics cooling (e.g., heat sinks, vapor chambers, fans, TIMs). Assist and participate in thermal simulation and modeling efforts (e.g., using FloTHERM, Icepak, or ANSYS) to support product development and supplier proposals. Collaborate with R&D, mechanical design, and systems teams to optimize thermal solutions from concept to mass production. Lead root cause analysis and corrective actions related to thermal performance issues during EVT/DVT/PVT. Support thermal lab test setups, thermal measurements, and correlation analysis with simulation models.

Supplier Quality Engineering (Approx. 50%)

• Manage thermal component suppliers (e.g., liquid cooling, cold plate, heat sink, heat pipe, thermal interface materials) to ensure quality, reliability, and compliance with company specifications. Develop and implement supplier quality strategies including APQP, PPAP, and FAI for new product introduction. Conduct on-site supplier audits (process, quality system, and manufacturing capability assessments). Lead 8D/5Why/FMEA activities for supplier-related quality issues and drive continuous improvement. Work with suppliers to improve manufacturing process capability and reduce variability (e.g., Cp/Cpk, SPC). Act as the main technical interface between suppliers and internal teams for thermal and mechanical parts.
