Job Info

Meta is seeking a Thermal Engineer to join our Accelerator Design Team. Our custom AI accelerators are leading the industry in capability and performance for AI workloads. This person will be an integral member of the team, responsible for owning the thermal design and optimization for new accelerator module and package designs.

Thermal Engineer (Accelerator Design) Responsibilities:

• Engage with the Hardware Design team to ensure proper component design and with the Data Center Operations team to ensure smooth product deployment.
• Develop and execute test plans to measure thermal performance/efficiency of hardware and thermal technologies. Quantitatively simulate and analyze hardware cooling schemes.
• Design and investigate innovative thermal cooling solutions for advanced packaging and hardware modules for large scale deployment.
• Create analytical and numerical models using various Computational Fluid Dynamics tools or relevant simulation tools to describe system thermodynamics and heat transfer.
• Engage with external vendors including ODM and component vendors on design, test and production.
• Develop and publish case studies/technical papers describing thermal analysis of cooling systems and technologies.
• Establish the parameters for thermal design/testing, and correlation of the design/test results in order to model predictions.

Minimum Qualifications:

• B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• 5+ years of experience in thermal design for server, module, and/or package design.
• Experience using thermal simulation software, such as FloTHERM/Future Facilities/Fluent for optimizing server cooling design.
• Experience with custom heat sink design, fan speed control design, and advanced cooling solution like liquid loop solution.
• Experience creating and interpreting mechanical system schematics by using 3D CAD tool.
• Experience with Data Center cooling system design.

Preferred Qualifications:

• M.S./Ph.D. in relevant discipline.
• Experience in-depth lab testing in Unix/Linux environment.
• Experience in module and package development for high-performance custom ASICs.
• Experience in heat sink manufacturing processes such as Design for Manufacturability (DFM) and Design for Assembly (DFA).
• Experience to create mathematical, computational and numerical models of industrial cooling systems.
• Experience with analytical and computational tools such as MATLAB or comparable tool.
• Experience in SolidWorks.
