The Thermal Mechanical Solutions group in Data Center and AI (DCAI)is seeking an experienced Thermal Architect with a background in electronics cooling. You will join a dynamic and fast paced environment with a team of experienced Architects and Leads that focus on driving consistent definition, direction, and evolution of Platforms. In this role, you will be a key contributor in the platform architecture process and be responsible for thermal aspects of Xeon platforms, silicon and enabled components. The position requires strong technical acumen, problem-solving skills, thrive with ambiguity in a highly technical field and attention to quality. This position will also require strong and proactive collaboration with DCAI teams, Si Design and Architecture, Assembly Test Technology Development (ATTD), customer facing teams and engaging directly with external customers.

Key Responsibilities include but not limited to:

• Alignment with Planning and Platform Architecture on thermal solution space for new platform and delivering thermal boundary conditions, package thermals and thermal solution strategy.

• Work with other Engineers and Architects to support multiple platforms with traditional and advanced cooling technologies to meet the thermal challenges of increasing power density and power/performance requirements on future servers.

• Path finding, development and validation of platform level cooling solutions for Intel processor-based server systems through both simulation and testing. The thermal design process covers all aspects of platform cooling including design optimization, component placement, airflow/ducting requirements, fan speed control algorithms, component heat sink designs and design tradeoffs.

The ideal candidate should exhibit:

• Strong leadership, can work well with ambiguity, driving clarity with senior technical leaders

• Proven experience to handle complex technical challenges and form strategies for overcoming challenges and ambiguity

• Autonomous in execution
