JOB SUMMARY Lead Mechanical Design (Thermal Simulator) Engineer would involve using simulation tools to analyze the thermal performance of optical transceivers, ensuring they meet design specifications and operational requirements. Key responsibilities include conducting thermal simulations, validating results with testing, and collaborating with design and manufacturing teams to optimize thermal performance. ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES Thermal Simulations: Performing thermal simulations using software tools (e.g., Solidworks, ANSYS, COMSOL) to analyze heat transfer, temperature distribution, and thermal stresses within optical transceivers. Creating and refining thermal models based on component specifications, operating conditions, and environmental factors. Analyzing simulation results to identify potential thermal issues, bottlenecks, and areas for improvement. Validation and Characterization: Developing and executing thermal validation tests to verify simulation accuracy and assess thermal performance under different operating conditions. Characterizing the thermal behavior of optical transceivers, including temperature rise, thermal gradients, and thermal resistance. Documenting test results and comparing them with simulation predictions to refine models and design parameters. Collaboration and Optimization: Working closely with design and manufacturing teams to integrate thermal considerations into the design process. Identifying and implementing thermal management solutions, such as heat sinks, thermal interfaces, or cooling technologies. Optimizing the thermal performance of optical transceivers to meet design specifications and operational requirements. KNOWLEDGE REQUIREMENTS TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE & SKILLS Simulation Software Proficiency: Experience with thermal simulation software (e.g., Solidworks, ANSYS, COMSOL). Thermal Analysis: Strong understanding of heat transfer principles, fluid mechanics, and thermal modeling techniques. Validation and Characterization: Experience with thermal testing, data analysis, and statistical methods. EDUCATION & EXPERIENCE REQUIREMENTS Education: Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related field. Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with cross-functional teams, including design, manufacturing, and test engineers. Problem-Solving: Ability to identify and resolve thermal issues in optical transceiver designs.
