Development Engineer-Simulation Expert

Location: Chandler, AZ, US, 85224 Job Category: Engineering Shift: Shift 1 Full Time / Part Time: Full-Time Job Level: Individual Contributor Approximate Travel: 25%

Summary: This role is responsible for driving the thermal design and optimization of high-performance computing (HPC) systems using advanced Multiphysics simulations and CAD-based design support. The role focuses on thermal and CFD modeling to evaluate new concepts, materials, cooling architectures, and CAD models for high-power-density applications. By translating simulation insights into robust design recommendations, this position helps enable next-generation HPC solutions.

Essential Functions:

• Perform advanced Multiphysics simulations with a strong emphasis on thermal and CFD analyses for the thermal design of HPC systems and components.
• Develop and optimize cooling concepts for high-power-density and high-performance computing applications, including cold plates and system-level thermal architectures.
• Evaluate new product concepts, materials, and processes using simulation to guide thermal design decisions.
• Create CAD models to support simulation setup, design evaluation, and optimization of thermal solutions.
• Apply simulation-based Design of Experiments (DoE) to assess sensitivities, tradeoffs, and robustness of thermal designs.
• Support the development and refinement of thermal design rules and operating limits for HPC applications.
• Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams (R&D, engineering, sales, marketing) to translate customer and system requirements into effective thermal solutions.
• Provide simulation expertise during technical discussions with customers to understand performance requirements and application challenges.
• Monitor relevant technologies, tools, and market trends related to HPC cooling, thermal management, and Multiphysics simulation.
• Review and evaluate external patents and publications related to thermal design, simulation methods, and cooling technologies.
• Support development projects through clear technical documentation and regular status updates.

Qualifications: Bachelor's, Master's, or PhD in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Materials Science, or a related engineering discipline. 3+ years of professional experience in Multiphysics simulation, ideally gained in an industrial environment. Strong hands-on experience with Multiphysics simulations, with a clear focus on thermal and CFD modeling. Experience applying simulation methods to thermal design of complex systems, preferably in HPC or high-power-density environments. Experience using DoE or structured experimentation methods to evaluate and optimize thermal concepts is preferred. Experience creating CAD models and applying strong CAD skills in support of simulation-driven design and optimization. Deep understanding of heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and thermal management principles. Ability to translate simulation results into practical, design-relevant recommendations. Familiarity with HPC system architecture and cooling challenges is highly desirable. Experience in power electronics or related applications is a plus. Knowledge of Six Sigma or structured problem-solving methods is an advantage.
