Key Responsibilities

Lead mechanical and thermal design for HVDC/LVDC power distribution systems and high‑power electronics in multi‑gigawatt GPU data center deployments.

Design enclosures, structural assemblies, and integrated cooling solutions for high‑voltage DC power equipment.

Perform thermal analysis (CFD) and develop heat dissipation strategies for high‑power density systems, including cold plates, heat exchangers, busbars, and airflow management.

Solve high‑current busbar design challenges, including conductor sizing, thermal interface optimization, and electrical contact resistance management.

Address EMI/EMC shielding, creepage/clearance requirements, and mechanical integration of power modules, capacitors, and semiconductor devices.

Define and execute mechanical and thermal validation testing, including structural FEA, thermal cycling, vibration, and environmental qualification.

Qualifications

7+ years of mechanical design experience in power systems, high‑power electronics, or energy infrastructure with strong thermal management expertise.

Deep knowledge of structural design, heat transfer, CFD analysis, electronics packaging, and outdoor‑rated electrical equipment enclosures.

Proficiency in CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and thermal simulation tools (Ansys Fluent or similar). Familiarity with high‑voltage DC systems and relevant standards (NEC, UL, IEC).

Strong understanding of materials for high‑power applications, including copper/aluminum alloys, thermal interface materials, and high‑voltage insulation systems.

Experience with Design for Manufacturing/Assembly principles and manufacturing processes (sheet metal, machining, casting).

Ability to take designs from prototype to high‑volume production.
