  • Background in modeling using CAD and CFD tools, such as Fluent, StarCCM+, FloEFD or similar
  • Experience in empirical testing and model correlation
  • Experience in programming with a scripting language such as MatLab, Python, or Julia

Responsibilities

  • Develop physics-based thermal models using programming languages such as MatLAB, Python, or Julia
  • Support the design, development, and optimization of part, sub-system, and system level design through collaboration with cross-functional teams
  • Develop part and sub-system thermal and fan models using CFD and CAD tools
  • Develop and optimize thermal designs while integrating new thermal technologies through partnering with mechanical and electrical engineers
  • Support sub-system and system-level thermal verification through prototype testing
  • Support the development of thermal control systems while building prototypes to test on physical hardware

Benefits

  • Employees at Meta are often offered comprehensive benefits, including medical/dental/vision coverage, mental-health resources, family planning support (fertility, adoption, surrogacy), and caregiving programs.
