Thermal Engineer, Datastore Hardware

THE ROLE

Everpure is seeking a Thermal Mechanical Engineer to lead the thermal and mechanical architecture of our DirectFlash Modules (DFMs). This person will play a key role in designing next-generation in-house solutions with minimal guidance, while also partnering with JDMs to design, test, and integrate DFMs into new storage platforms. The ideal candidate is detail-oriented, hands-on, and experienced in delivering high-quality designs for volume production.

WHAT YOU'LL DO

• Lead the thermal and mechanical architecture for in-house DFM designs, ensuring solutions meet aggressive performance, reliability, and manufacturability targets.
• Perform advanced thermal simulations using high-fidelity CFD tools such as FloTHERM, Icepak, or equivalent to optimize airflow, heat sink design, and component temperatures.
• Drive simulation-to-test correlation by comparing model predictions with lab data, analyzing discrepancies in temperature, airflow, and pressure drop, and refining models for improved accuracy.
• Support system integration with ODM/JDM partners by developing detailed thermal models, reviewing slot-level aerodynamics, and ensuring successful thermal-mechanical integration into new storage systems.
• Partner with Product Engineering on design-for-manufacturing (DFx) considerations, including tooling, material selection, and design tradeoffs for high-volume manufacturing.
• Own the thermal-mechanical design lifecycle from concept, prototyping, and validation through sustaining engineering.
• Collaborate cross-functionally with Hardware, Product, Quality, Software, Test, Certification, and Operations teams to align deliverables with program schedules and system requirements.

WHAT YOU BRING

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 7+ years of experience in product design or a related engineering role
• Deep expertise in thermal simulation for electronics cooling, including extensive experience with FloTHERM, Icepak, or equivalent CFD tools
• Proven ability to perform simulation correlation with physical test data
• Strong 3D CAD skills with Pro/ENGINEER, Creo Parametric, or equivalent tools
• Strong understanding of sheet metal, die cast, injection-molded plastics, heat sinks, thermal interface materials, and airflow design
• Hands-on experience with detail design, prototyping, tolerance analysis, thermal tradeoffs, and DFx
• Track record of delivering high-quality, high-volume electronics products
• Excellent verbal, written, and presentation skills
