Our TIMbberTM product line targets leading semiconductor thermal interface material (TIM) challenges. As a CMU spin-out, venture-backed company, we are expanding our team to bring our lab innovations to market.\nWhat We Need:\nArieca is looking for a Thermal Engineer who will join our Hardware R&D team to assist the successful market introduction of our thermal interface materials (TIM). Responsibilities include design and implementation of liquid cooling solutions for thermal test vehicles, in addition to designing and implementing experiments to test hypotheses on understanding the thermo-mechanical properties of semiconductor interfaces in packaged electronics (smartphones, laptops, GPUs). Strong organizational, analytical and communication skills are required, as we need to collect data efficiently and create professional customer facing documentation, while developing processes and systems that work well within the constraints of a startup. Engagement with customers, external vendors and ecosystem partners is possible.\nYou will be working with a team of highly motivated and ambitious individuals with a diverse background of exceptional scientific, entrepreneurial, and industrial experiences. This position offers competitive salary and benefits including healthcare, flexible PTO, stock options, and 401(k) matching.\nKey Requirements:\nMinimum of 1-3 years of experience working in industry or an academic research laboratory, withs significant hands-on work on single phase liquid cooling solutions (implementation of cold plates, heaters, thermocouples, pumps, chillers, etc.)\nExperience with microcontrollers like Arduino and Raspberry Pi for real time physical control and data collection/processing and system management\nSolid foundation in thermal science, including material characterization (e.g. ASTM D5470, thermal test vehicles)\nFamiliar with at least one thermomechanical simulation tool (Ansys, Autodesk Fusion, etc.).\nExperience with scientific programming in Python, Matlab, or C++. On the job, we will develop GUIs for DAQ systems, so expertise here is a bonus. Significant skills designing GUIs in LabView can substitute here.\nBachelor of Science or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or equivalent degrees.\nMeticulous organizational skills, attention to detail, and pride in producing high-quality work \nNice to have:\nExperience designing analog electrical circuits, semiconductor packages or substrates (flip-chip, BGA, LGA, etc.), or data acquisition systems\nRapid prototyping and machine shop experience.\nExperience in semiconductor industry, nondestructive testing or reliability engineering.\nArieca is committed to principles of diversity and inclusion, and encourages candidates to apply even if they do not exhibit all of the above-mentioned characteristics.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3138,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":1,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":{"level":"bachelor","optional":false},"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":["Stock options"],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":[],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-10-27T11:57:19Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":86,"band":"hot","label":"Hiring now","p_open":1,"p_active":0.86,"p_room":1,"age_days":3,"expected_fill_days":28,"reasons":["conf:1","win:early","comp:junior"],"computed_at":"2026-10-31T05:58:55Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/arieca-thermal-engineer-arieca","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/arieca-thermal-engineer-arieca.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-31T21:57:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":34245,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-01T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":4393138},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=4393138"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Farieca-thermal-engineer-arieca"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Farieca-thermal-engineer-arieca"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Farieca-thermal-engineer-arieca"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/arieca-thermal-engineer-arieca\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Farieca-thermal-engineer-arieca"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":3330529}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"arieca.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":3330529},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
