Thermal - Mechanical Engineer

Chain Reaction designs and builds hardware that fuels disruptive blockchain technologies by accelerating compute performance. Our world-class teams are transforming the future of data, creating the infrastructure that will power the next generation of secure, scalable, green computing. The main bottleneck in scaling cutting-edge solutions in privacy tech, data analysis, and real-time computing is acceleration – existing hardware cannot keep up with data processing needs. Chain Reaction’s products reshape how data is processed and used on a global scale, and we’re looking for the brightest people to join us.

We are seeking a highly skilled Technical Engineer to lead the optimization of thermal management and packaging solutions for our advanced systems.

The ideal candidate will possess expertise in thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics, and have hands-on experience with multi-ASIC high-density systems and immersion cooling.

Proficiency in thermal simulation environments is essential to ensure the efficiency, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of our designs.

Roles and Responsibilities

• Design and implement thermal management solutions for high-density electronic systems (multi-ASICs) for performance and cost-effectiveness.
• Conduct thermal simulations, analyses, and modeling using industry-standard software tools to predict, propose design improvements, validate, and optimize the thermal behavior of advanced thermal solutions under different scenarios – Flotherm is an advantage.
• Interpret simulation results to identify areas for design enhancement and implement necessary modifications.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including electrical engineers, mechanical engineers, and product designers, to ensure effective integration of the thermal solutions for the POCs into the overall system architecture.
• Create comprehensive test plans for thermal designs to ensure performance under operational conditions. Compare experimental results to predicted results and adjust models as needed.
• Optimize cooling strategies to ensure system reliability and performance under varying operational conditions.
• Evaluate and recommend new thermal technologies and methodologies to improve system reliability and efficiency – immersion cooling is an advantage.
• Prepare detailed technical reports documenting thermal analysis, design considerations, and test results.
• Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders in clear and understandable formats.
• Stay abreast of advancements in thermal management technologies and industry best practices.
• Propose and implement cost-effective improvements to thermal engineering processes and methodologies.

Requirements

• A bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, aerospace engineering, or a related field - a master’s degree is preferred.
• Minimum of 5 years of experience in thermal engineering, focusing on system design optimization and thermal management solutions.
• Strong analytical skills and ability to interpret complex thermal data.
• Excellent project management skills with the ability to lead and coordinate cross-functional teams.
• Effective communication skills with experience in technical documentation and stakeholder presentations.
• Desire and ability to work in a dynamic and fast-growing environment.
• High-level verbal and written communication skills in English.

Advantage

• Hands-on experience with immersion cooling technologies and their application in high-density systems
• The ability to conduct complex thermal analyses using the standard Flotherm software is an advantage.
