JOB-2137
A venture-backed robotics company building general-purpose robots with integrated actuators is hiring a Thermal Engineer to develop liquid cooling for compact robot actuators.
What you’ll own
- Turn motor and inverter losses and robot duty cycles into thermal requirements and operating limits
- Build conjugate heat-transfer, CFD and reduced-order thermal models and correlate them to instrumented hardware
- Design cold plates, stator jackets and heat paths; specify coolant flow, pressure drop and pump operating points
- Route coolant through moving joints with mechanical engineers, managing sealing, serviceability and leak risk
- Run thermal characterization and give drive and firmware engineers measured limits for derating
Profile
- 5+ years as a thermal engineer with hands-on design and test of liquid-cooled electromechanical or power-electronics systems
- Experience with moving coolant lines, compact seals, leak testing or coolant compatibility
- Proficiency with Ansys Fluent, Star-CCM+ or similar, thermal networks and test correlation
- Experience cooling motors, EV batteries, inverters, servo drives or robot joints
- BS or MS in engineering
On-site in Fremont, CA (no relocation support). Visa transfers and sponsorship available.
