Description and Requirements

We are hiring a recent college graduate to join our team as a Thermal Engineer. The target start date for this role will be Spring 2025.

Lenovo researches, develops, and manufactures x86 processor based servers. The pace of technology change in this market is rapid, and our development engineers are constantly challenged to improve the thermal performance and efficiency of our products. Lenovo is looking for an engineer with a strong desire to innovate on thermal solutions for our server products.

Candidate will work with an engineer and conduct thermal development and testing. The testing will involve the following task:

• Evaluation of system fans from different vendors
• Measuring overall system/server air flow & impedance
• Evaluation of heatsinks from different vendors
• Running stress on components like CPUs, GPUs, DIMMs etc. and monitoring their temperature
• Review server system concepts and market requirements and enable a thermal solution that is compliant to the specifications of the critical components.
• Ensure that the printed circuit board layouts permit thermal solution placement and adequate airflow / waterflow to cool all components
• Select fans, heat sinks, and other thermal solution components which are low cost yet meet all performance requirements
• Provide mechanical and thermal review for prototyping boards
• Document and analyze simulation and test results
• Write test plans

Skills Required / Desired:

• Knowledge in heat transfer and fluid dynamics is required
• Experience conducting thermal tests to qualify the server design
• Experience using CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) tools to predict operating performance of the server is required, specifically Flotherm CFD
• Modeling and testing skills to validate a design is required. E.g. measuring airflow and temperature on the air bench.
• Data acquisition and ability to organize and summarize results .
• Code skills such as Matlab, Python, or Java to automate data collection and report generation is desired.
• Knowledge of computer firmware code and algorithms that set operating points, and fault conditions is desired.
• Knowledge of CAD, material strength, power consumption, and acoustics requirements and the impact of thermal designs on them is desired.
