Thermal Test Engineer - MicroTECH Global Ltd : Job Details

The specific projects will be:Monviso Thermal Characterization Tests

SBC Thermal Characterization TestsAbout the Role:We are seeking a highly motivated and detail-oriented Thermal Test Engineer to join our Hardware R&D team. You will work closely with our Mechanical and Thermal Design Lead to validate the thermal performance of AI hardware products, including custom silicon modules, heat spreaders, heat sinks, and active/passive cooling solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Design and execute thermal test plans for components, PCBs, and system-level assemblies.
• Operate and maintain thermal testing equipment (e.g., environmental chambers-ESPEC, thermocouples, data loggers, IR cameras, ).Collect, analyze, and report thermal test data with detailed documentation.
• Support validation of simulation results (CFD, FloEFD) through physical testing.Collaborate with mechanical/hardware design, electrical, and packaging teams to optimize thermal performance.
• Participate in root cause analysis for thermal issues and propose corrective actions.
• Ensure test processes comply with safety and industry standards.

Required Qualifications:

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or related field.
• Minimum 2-4 years of hands-on experience in thermal testing (preferably in electronics or semiconductor industry).
• Familiarity with thermal measurement tools (IR camera, thermocouple systems, Data Acquisition Systems-DAQs).
• Experience in setting up and running thermal cycling, stress, and reliability tests.
• Strong data analysis and reporting skills using Python, MATLAB, or Excel.
• Working knowledge of thermal simulation tools (e.g., FloEFD, ANSYS Icepak) is a plus.
• Good communication and documentation skills in English.
• Preferred Skills:Experience with GPU, CPU, or SoC thermal validation.Knowledge of JEDEC or IPC test standards (e.g., JESD51 series).
• Experience in scripting automated tests (e.g., using LabVIEW or Python).Familiarity with environmental chambers and forced convection setups.
