Thermal Test Engineer

Who You’ll Work With

The Thermal Engineering team addresses thermal engineering design challenges of high-end switching products. Our team collaborates closely with the Electrical design and hardware validation teams to ensure the fulfillment of overall system requirements. As part of our team, you will be responsible for tackling all thermal design-related issues across various projects.

What You’ll Do

There are always thermal challenges in the product design. Thermal validation is required for each product and especially in the early design stage. This position reports to the Mechanical Engineering Manager and is responsible for supporting our mechanical design team by conducting various designed lab verification tests and performing onsite assembly and disassembly of the prototype units.

• Develop and execute test plans to measure thermal performance of heatsinks; repeated test needed for statistical data collection purpose

• Setup Air Flow test to measure required data to verify system performance and system impedance to support thermal simulation

• Work with lab technicians to customize circuits or power leads

• Setup externally powered fan/fan module airflow / impedance tests

• Setup externally powered power supply airflow / impedance tests

• Perform Temperature measurements for component thermal profile

• Fabricate lab test fixtures as needed for various tests

• Troubleshoot and debug issues during the tests

• Communicate with Platform Engineer and Hardware Engineer for software issues

• Investigate the testing results and work with Mechanical Engineer and Thermal Engineer to adjust testing plan in order to get useful and meaningful testing data

• Document testing procedure and testing results and make sure the testing is done consistently
