Key Responsibilities:
  • Lead the design and development of complex thermal management systems, including liquid cooling, air cooling, and heat exchanger technologies.
  • Perform detailed thermal analysis using CFD software (e.g., ANSYS Fluent, STAR-CCM+) and other simulation tools.
  • Develop and execute thermal testing protocols, analyze results, and provide recommendations for design improvements.
  • Select appropriate materials and components for thermal systems, considering performance, cost, and manufacturability.
  • Collaborate closely with mechanical design, electrical engineering, and product management teams to integrate thermal solutions seamlessly.
  • Mentor and guide junior engineers in the field of thermal engineering.
  • Troubleshoot and resolve complex thermal performance issues encountered during product development and in the field.
  • Contribute to the development of thermal design standards, best practices, and internal tools.
  • Stay abreast of cutting-edge advancements in thermal management technologies and methodologies.
  • Prepare technical documentation, reports, and presentations for internal and external stakeholders.
  • Ensure thermal designs meet all performance, reliability, and regulatory requirements.

Qualifications:
  • Master's or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering with a specialization in thermodynamics, heat transfer, or fluid dynamics.
  • Minimum of 12 years of progressive experience in thermal engineering, with a significant focus on system-level design.
  • Expert proficiency in CFD simulation software and a strong understanding of numerical methods.
  • Hands-on experience with thermal testing equipment and data acquisition systems.
  • Proven track record of successfully bringing complex thermal solutions from concept to production.
  • Excellent analytical and problem-solving skills.
  • Strong leadership and team collaboration abilities, with experience in mentoring.
  • Outstanding communication and presentation skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts clearly.
  • Experience working in a remote, distributed team environment is essential.
  • Familiarity with product design cycles in industries such as electronics, automotive, aerospace, or data centers.
This is a critical role offering significant impact and technical challenge. While this position is fully remote, it is associated with our operations in **Mombasa, Mombasa, KE**.
