Benefits: Retirement or pension plan, Health, dental, and vision, and PTO

Relocation assistance provided for the right candidate

Responsibilities

  • Lead mechanical and thermal design of HVDC/LVDC power distribution systems and high-power electronics for multi-gigawatt GPU data center deployments.
  • Design enclosures, structural assemblies, and integrated cooling solutions for high-voltage DC power equipment and power electronics.
  • 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 for multi-megawatt systems.
  • Address EMI/EMC shielding, creepage/clearance requirements, and mechanical integration of power modules, capacitors, and semiconductor devices in compact, high-reliability packages.
  • Define and execute mechanical and thermal validation testing including structural FEA, thermal cycling, vibration, and environmental qualification for power electronics assemblies.
Requirements
  • 7+ years of mechanical design experience in power systems, high-power electronics, or energy infrastructure with strong thermal management background.
  • Deep expertise in structural design, heat transfer, CFD analysis, electronics packaging, and outdoor-rated electrical equipment enclosures.
  • Proficient in CAD software (SolidWorks, AutoCAD) and thermal simulation tools (Ansys Fluent or similar), familiar with high-voltage DC systems and NEC, UL, or IEC standards.
  • Self-starter who thrives in fast-paced environments and can drive complex thermal-mechanical-electrical integration projects independently with minimal oversight.
  • Strong understanding of materials for high-power applications including copper/aluminum alloys, thermal interface materials, potting compounds, and high-voltage insulation systems.
  • Experience with Design for Manufacturing/Assembly principles, manufacturing processes (sheet metal, machining, casting), and bringing designs from prototype through to high-volume production
