Job description

As a Thermal Solutions Development Engineer at NVIDIA, you will be integral to the Silicon Codesign Group, focusing on the development of thermal solutions for next-gen GPU/SOC products. This role involves collaborating with various teams to ensure the successful delivery of thermal solutions from concept to lab-ready builds. You will also leverage AI tools to enhance design processes and improve productivity. Joining this team means contributing to innovative projects that push the boundaries of technology.

Requirements

  • Bachelor/Masters in Electrical Engineering, Thermal/Energy, Mechanical Engineering, or related majors with 8+ years of relevant experience.
  • Strong understanding of thermal management principles and fluid dynamics.
  • In-depth knowledge of sophisticated cooling solutions and high heat flux problems.
  • Outstanding communication and program management skills.
  • Proficiency in CAD software for crafting and modifying 3D models of electronic components and cooling systems.
  • Solid understanding of silicon testing, board build, and software knowledge.
  • Comfort adopting AI-assisted engineering tools responsibly.

Responsibilities

  • Build thermal solutions for engineering characterization and validation of next-gen GPU/SOC products.
  • Drive end-to-end development and deployment of thermal solutions in collaboration with internal teams and external vendors.
  • Improve thermal design processes by incorporating feedback and findings.
  • Work closely with system architects, chip and board designers, and software/firmware engineers.
  • Apply AI-enabled approaches and tools to accelerate design iteration and validation processes.
  • Partner with AI/tooling teams as the thermal domain SME to define use-cases and evaluation methods.

Benefits

  • Employees at NVIDIA are often offered comprehensive, day-one benefits—including medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA support, life and disability insurance, an Employee Assistance Program, and a 401(k) with auto-enrollment. Many roles also have generous time off and holidays, donation matching (up to $10,000), and a wide menu of extras like FSAs, commuter benefits, legal and identity-theft protection, pet insurance, and wellness discounts. Optional programs can include student-loan and home-purchase support, plus family care resources and expert medical services.
