The Thermal Solutions Development Engineer at NVIDIA will be integral to the Silicon Codesign Group, focusing on the development of thermal solutions for next-generation GPU/SOC products. This role involves collaboration with various internal teams and external vendors to ensure successful prototype evaluation and integration. The engineer will also leverage AI tools to enhance design processes and improve productivity. This position offers a chance to work in a dynamic environment, contributing to industry-defining products.

Requirements

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree 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, collaborating 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.
  • 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.
