Job Description
DESCRIPTION
You will be working with a unique and gifted team developing exciting products for consumers. The team is a multidisciplinary group of engineers and scientists engaged in a fast paced mission to deliver new products. The team faces a challenging task of balancing cost, schedule, and performance requirements. You should be comfortable collaborating in a fast-paced and often uncertain environment, and contributing to innovative solutions, while demonstrating leadership, technical competence, and meticulousness.
Your deliverables will include development of thermal solutions, concept design, feature development, product architecture and system validation through to manufacturing release. You will support creative developments through application of analysis and testing of complex electronic assemblies using advanced simulation and experimentation tools and techniques.
Key job responsibilities
In this role, you will:
- Evaluate and optimize thermal solution requirements of consumer electronic products
- Use simulation tools like Star-CCM+ or FloTherm XT/EFD for analysis and design of products
- Validate design modifications for thermal concerns using simulation and actual prototypes
- Establish temperature thresholds for user comfort level and component level considering reliability requirements
- Have intimate knowledge of various materials and heat spreaders solutions to resolve thermal issues
- Use of programming languages like Python and Matlab for analytical/statistical analyses and automation
- Collaborate as part of device team to iterate and optimize design parameters of enclosures and structural parts to establish and deliver project performance objectives
- Design and execute of tests using statistical tools to validate analytical models, identify risks and assess design margins
- Create and present analytical and experimental results
- Develop and apply design guidelines based on project learnings
