We are seeking for a Thermal Material Engineer develops, tests, and selects advanced materials (ceramics, metals, composites) to manage heat, ensure durability, and improve performance in products like electronics, aerospace systems, or energy components. They analyze material properties, conduct simulations (FEA), and lead, design, and validate thermal solutions.
Key Responsibilities
- Material Development & Testing: Research, develop, and test materials for high-temperature resistance, thermal conductivity, and durability.
- Thermal Analysis & Modeling: Use simulations (FEA/CFD) to analyze heat transfer and predict material behavior under thermal stress.
- Product Integration: Select and qualify materials for specific applications, such as thermal interface materials (TIMs), heat sinks, or insulation.
- Failure Analysis: Investigate material failures and implement improvements.
- Vendor Collaboration: Work with suppliers to develop, qualify, and procure new materials.
Required Skills & Qualifications
- Education: Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Materials Science, Mechanical Engineering, or related field.
- Technical Knowledge: Deep understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and material science (polymers, metals, ceramics).
- Tools: Experience with simulation software (e.g., Flotherm, ANSYS, FEA tools).
- Analytical Skills: Ability to analyze material properties and data.
- Communication: Strong written and verbal communication for technical reports and cross-functional collaboration.
Common Industries
- Aerospace and Defense
- Electronics and Computing
- Automotive and Electric Vehicles
- Energy and Manufacturing
