In 2021, Delta was also recognized by CDP with leadership-level ratings for its substantial contributions to climate change and water security issues and was named Supplier Engagement Leader for its continuous development of a sustainable value chain. We are seeking a highly skilled and innovative Senior R&D Thermal Engineer to lead the development of advanced thermal management and integration solutions for xPUs, high-density power supplies and power rack systems for datacenter facilities. The ideal candidate will leverage their expertise in liquid cooling technologies and system integration to design and scale next-generation thermal management concepts. This role requires thermal and mechanical design, hands-on problem-solving, technical leadership, a forward-thinking approach to address the challenges of modern computing infrastructures, and customer on-site technical support. Innovative Thermal Management Design: • Develop cutting-edge thermal management concepts to effectively dissipate heat from xPUs, extending and integrating new thermal solutions on converter- and rack-level cooling for datacenters. Expertise in Liquid Cooling Technologies: • Design and optimize systems using technologies such as cold plates, liquid cooling, and heat exchangers. • Investigate and implement emerging cooling techniques, including liquid immersion cooling, microfluidic cooling channels, evaporative cooling, and two-phase cooling systems. Scalable Solutions: • Engineer thermal management solutions that scale seamlessly from xPUs to entire power racks and datacenters. Collaboration and Leadership: • Work cross-functionally with hardware design teams and business units to align thermal solutions with company goals. • Mentor and provide guidance to junior engineers in thermal management techniques and system integration principles. • Advanced degree (Master's or PhD) in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related field. • Proven experience in developing advanced thermal solutions and integrating them into power electronic systems. • Deep understanding of cooling technologies, including liquid cooling, two-phase cooling, and heat exchangers. • Strong background in scaling thermal solutions from component-level to system-level applications. • Expertise in CFD simulation tools and thermal modeling software (FloTHERM, MacroFlow, ANSYS Icepak). • Excellent problem-solving skills, with the ability to work on complex, multidisciplinary topics. • Strong communication and leadership abilities. USD $150,000.00 - USD $180,000.00 /Yr. • Experience with innovative cooling materials. • Understanding of lifecycle assessment (LCA) and environmental impact analysis for cooling solutions. • Knowledge of industry standards and regulations for datacenter thermal management and power electronic systems. • Background in system control and coding, enabling integration of thermal–fluid and control simulations. • Practical understanding of manufacturing processes (e.g., CNC machining, soldering, brazing, welding).
