Job Description:

Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) is seeking an experienced Thermal Engineer to lead both thermal simulation and experimental validation of advanced cooling solutions for next-generation high-density server, networking, and data center platforms.

What you’ll do:

This role requires a strong balance between modeling (CFD/thermal analysis) and hands-on lab testing, ensuring accurate prediction, validation, and optimization of thermal performance. The ideal candidate will bridge the gap between simulation and hardware by driving correlation, validation, and design improvements across the product lifecycle.

The candidate should thrive in a fast-paced, cross-functional environment and demonstrate deep expertise in both thermal modeling and system-level testing.

• Develop and execute thermal and CFD models for electronic systems, including servers, networking platforms, and liquid-cooled solutions
• Perform thermal simulations to predict temperature, airflow, and pressure behavior
• Model and analyze cooling technologies such as heat sinks, vapor chambers, heat pipes, fans, and liquid cooling systems
• Conduct design trade-off studies and optimization to improve thermal performance, power density, and efficiency
• Drive simulation-based design decisions during early architecture and design phases

• Perform hands-on thermal testing, including system setup, instrumentation, validation, and troubleshooting in lab environments
• Conduct system-level thermal characterization, including airflow, temperature mapping, and pressure drop measurements
• Execute validation of cooling solutions to ensure compliance with performance, reliability, and quality requirements

• Drive correlation between simulation and test results, identifying gaps and improving model fidelity
• Collaborate closely with mechanical, electrical, and system teams to enable optimized and robust thermal designs
• Lead development of thermal strategies, test plans, and modeling guidelines for HPE platforms

What you need to bring:

Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Systems, Electronics, Electrical or equivalent.

• Typically 7+ years strong experience in Thermal and CFD models
