What You’ll Be Doing
- Lead simulation-driven R&D efforts for next-generation data center hardware.
- Perform advanced mechanical, structural, thermal, and fluid (CFD) simulations to drive design optimization.
- Develop and execute experimental setups to validate simulation models through empirical testing.
- Correlate simulation results with physical test data to improve model fidelity and refine boundary conditions.
- Investigate reliability issues and conduct failure analyses to support robust product development.
- Collaborate with cross-functional design teams while contributing hands-on to mechanical design activities.
What We Need to See
- B.Sc. in Mechanical Engineering or higher (M.Sc. or Ph.D. preferred).
- 6+ years of relevant experience in an R&D environment.
- Strong expertise in finite element analysis (FEA), thermal analysis, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD).
- Proven experience correlating simulation results with physical testing to enhance model accuracy.
- Deep proficiency with simulation tools such as Ansys (Icepak, Workbench, Mechanical, Fluent) and MATLAB.
- Demonstrated ability to influence design decisions early through analytical “back-of-the-envelope” calculations and rapid modeling.
- Proficiency in 3D CAD tools (Creo preferred).
- Excellent written and verbal communication skills in English and Hebrew.
- Self-driven, highly motivated, and capable of working both independently and as part of a team.
- Strong organizational skills with the ability to manage multiple priorities in a dynamic, cross-functional environment.
Ways to Stand Out from the Crowd
- Expertise in electronics cooling and packaging, including thermal interface materials (TIMs), heat sink optimization, and liquid cooling systems (cold plates, manifolds, CDUs).
- Strong understanding of structural dynamics, including shock and vibration standards for high-density server environments.
- Advanced CAD capabilities (e.g., Creo, SolidWorks, NX), including model preparation for simulation (simplification, defeaturing, mid-surfacing).
- Background in global enterprise telecommunications organizations and experience developing and implementing new design methodologies.
- Familiarity with AI tools for mechanical design, simulation, and debugging.
