Senior Thermal/Hardware Engineer

About the role

Hewlett Packard Enterprise is hiring a Senior Thermal/Hardware Engineer in Singapore, an onsite position based primarily in an HPE office. The role leads thermal design, simulation and validation for high-density, high-power networking platforms, from early concept through mass production, and guides junior engineers and external partners.

Key responsibilities

• Lead system-level thermal design, simulation and validation for high-density, high-power networking platforms, owning the full lifecycle from heatsink design and CFD simulation to in-lab testing and data analysis.
• Design and validate thermal solutions for electronics enclosures, chassis and line cards, and define thermal validation test plans covering thermal margin, acoustics, shock/vibration, reliability and safety.
• Drive system-level design tradeoffs with mechanical, electrical, power, firmware and software teams, and represent the thermal team across large development programs.
• Work with manufacturing partners, suppliers and external developers to deliver production-ready thermal solutions, and lead root-cause analysis and corrective actions.
• Mentor less-experienced engineers and guide them on thermal design, lab testing, prototype fabrication and production tooling.

Required profile

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
• 10+ years of experience in thermal design and electronics packaging, with a track record leading thermal development on networking platforms.
• Proven technical leadership, able to drive complex, multi-disciplinary projects and communicate thermal strategies to engineering peers and senior leadership.

Required skills

• Deep expertise in thermal design and electronics packaging for data center and networking systems.
• Proficiency in CFD tools such as FloTHERM, with models correlated against lab measurements.
• Hands-on experience with thermocouples, DAQs, environmental/thermal chambers and airflow/pressure benches.
• Ability to write test automation and data analysis scripts in Python or similar.
• Experience designing heatsinks, sheet metal, plastic parts, ducts and baffles, and working with vendors on design-for-manufacturability.
