Job Description:

We are now looking for a Senior Thermal Engineer!

NVIDIA has continuously reinvented itself over two decades. Our invention of the GPU in 1999 sparked the growth of the PC gaming market, redefined modern computer graphics, and revolutionized parallel computing. More recently, GPU deep learning ignited modern AI - the next era of computing. NVIDIA is a "learning machine" that constantly evolves by adapting to new opportunities that are hard to solve, that only we can tackle, and that matter to the world. This is our life's work, to amplify human creativity and intelligence. Make the choice to join us today. As part of this exciting multi-functional team, your task would be to create thermal concepts and develop solutions for including but not limited to Desktops, Servers, Automotive, Robotics/Embedded and NVIDIA Shield with a general focus on improving and enabling thermal aspects of product designs. A high level of development and design related experience to complex thermal optimization, would be of interest. Be an integral member of a collaborative team which defines and develops thermal solutions with multi-functional Product Development teams and overseas partners. Your excellent communication skills, strong thermal and validation engineering technical background with product development knowledge including thermal engineering and related manufacturing processes, are important.

What you'll be doing:

On this team, the goals and objectives are carried out through a high degree of collaboration and use of state-of-the-art methods and technologies, analytical and computational analysis, and laboratory validation of prototypes. These methods and processes are developed within NVIDIA's cross functional thermal team.


  • We support all products NVIDIA develops. Your contribution will be towards the development, specifications, design, and manufacturing implementation from package to board level thermal solutions through complete systems in potentially all products including development of thermal technologies.


  • We challenge the status quo and the leading edge of computing, driving relevant analysis and trade-offs aligned with product goals. Your design of new thermal solutions is essential, so as a company, we can anticipate and enable product goals.


  • Build physical prototype assemblies and instrument those assemblies for testing. We carry out testing, summarize and correlate data, modify, and improve our systems.


  • As a team, one of our responsibilities is to generally share your efforts to broaden the knowledge of your team and the company.


  • We are continuously seeking ways to learn and improve from lessons learned, into building better infrastructures and processes.


What we need to see:


  • This position requires the ability to visualize and clarify product needs from fundamental concepts through system considerations to ensure optimized designs.


  • Strong solid understanding of FEA/CFD theory, and general analysis tools related to heat transfer including excellent knowledge of at least one thermal analysis SW (e.g. IcePak, FloTHERM, Fluent) is crucial.


  • Your proven have hands-on experience and proficiency in thermal and mechanical evaluation of electronics and computer hardware to provide relevant and data driven product design suggestions (i.e. thermocouple placement, obtaining readings using automated data acquisition, assembly and tear downs) are required.


  • Our team covers the product end to end, and we assess manufacturing and other supply partners. You should have experience in volume manufacturing, working with overseas manufacturers, experience in leading outside resources, component suppliers, and manufacturing partners.


  • BSME minimum (or equivalent experience)


  • 3 to 5+ years experience in product design and specific experience related to servers would be a plus
