Founded in 2017 by veteran semiconductor and AI algorithm engineers, Furiosa operates globally with offices in Korea and Silicon Valley, along with a compiler-focused R&D lab in Lisbon. \nOur vision is to make AI computing sustainable, enabling access to powerful AI for everyone on Earth. We solve the AI hardware energy and operational cost crisis at the architectural level, rather than through brute force, building the world's first truly AI-native compute platform to unlock the full potential of artificial intelligence for every enterprise.\nKey Responsibilities\nDefine end-to-end thermal design across NPU/ASIC package → PCB → card (PCIe FHFL/HHHL, OAM, SXM) → system (server chassis) levels, selecting and designing heatsinks, heat pipes, vapor chambers, cold plates, and TIM\n\nEvaluate trade-offs across cooling approaches - air, liquid, 2-phase, and immersion - and run CFD simulations (FloTHERM, Icepak) including EM-thermal co-simulation using power maps from HFSS/SIwave/PowerDC\n\nValidate thermal performance through wind tunnel testing, hands-on temperature measurement (thermocouples, IR cameras, RTDs), and DOE-based simulation-to-measurement correlation\n\nSupport reliability testing including thermal cycling and burn-in\n\nPartner with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to integrate thermal solutions into packaged hardware, and negotiate thermal specifications with OEM/ODM and hyperscale customers\n\nAuthor thermal design guides, reference designs, and test reports, and ensure compliance with form-factor standards (OCP OAM, PCIe CEM, NVIDIA SXM, etc.)\n\nMinimum Qualifications\nThermal Modeling & Simulation: Utilize computational fluid dynamics (CFD) to simulate heat transfer and fluid flow.\n\nSystem Design: Design active and passive cooling solutions, including heatsinks, fans, liquid cooling coldplate.\n\nThermal Testing: Evaluation for NPU card thermal performance with using multi temp recorder and FLIR camera or thermocouples.\n\nCollaboration: Work closely with electrical, mechanical, and manufacturing teams to integrate thermal solutions into packaged hardware.\n\nPreferred Qualifications\nExperienced GPU or NPU card development or server development for datacenter\n\nFlotherm or Icepak preferred\n\nEnglish communication for business level\n\nPositive and proactive engineer\n\nJob Location\nDongtan / Seoul\n\nThe primary work location for this position is Dongtan, with the option to work in either Dongtan or Seoul. Candidates who can work in Dongtan are preferred.\n\nWhy Join FuriosaAI\nThe defining bottleneck of the AI era is building the right hardware and software stack to run it at global scale. Furiosa is solving this challenge holistically from the ground up.\nWith our flagship chip, RNGD, in mass production today and our next-generation platform in development with Broadcom, we are proving that full-stack, tensor-native compute is the future of AI infrastructure. This is a pivotal moment to join our team, right as we accelerate our global expansion.\nAt Furiosa, you will:\nSolve AI’s Most Urgent Challenge. Help build the high-performance, energy-efficient inference hardware and software required to fulfill the promise of advanced AI.\nPioneer Full-Stack Co-Design. Work with teams that are architecting solutions from silicon up through the compiler (featuring innovations like Tensor Contraction Language and Virtual ISA) and serving frameworks.\nShip Real-World Silicon, Software, and Solutions. Turn breakthrough technology into commercial deployment. RNGD is in mass production with TSMC and running live enterprise workloads for global leaders like LG AI Research and Samsung SDS.\nPartner With the Industry's Best. Collaborate across an elite global ecosystem that includes TSMC, Broadcom, SK Hynix, and GUC.\nDo Your Life’s Best Work. Join a brilliant, low-ego, mission-driven team in a high-trust environment that values autonomy, intellectual curiosity, and shared ambition. \nContact\n ","description_format":"text","description_chars":4057,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[{"language":"English","level":"Upper-Intermediate (B2)","optional":true}]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Processors, MCUs & AI Chips","AI Chips & Accelerators"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-08-19T11:16:24Z"},{"event":"close","at":"2026-09-08T06:54:36Z"},{"event":"reopen","at":"2026-10-21T17:33:40Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":12,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.339,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":22,"reasons":["conf:0","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-10-25T05:49:26Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-hardware-thermal-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/furiosa-hardware-thermal-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-10-25T07:23:21Z","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":10424,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-10-26T00:00:00Z"}},"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":31683},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=31683"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-thermal-engineer"},{"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%2Ffuriosa-hardware-thermal-engineer"},{"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%2Ffuriosa-hardware-thermal-engineer"},{"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/furiosa-hardware-thermal-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Ffuriosa-hardware-thermal-engineer"}]}
