Thermal Engineer - Bengaluru (2-5 Years)

About the Role

We are seeking a Thermal Engineer to design, analyze, and optimize thermal management solutions for high-performance electronic and aerospace systems. The ideal candidate will have expertise in heat transfer, thermal simulations, cooling technologies, and thermal validation to ensure reliable product performance.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform detailed thermal analysis of high-density electronic enclosures, power electronics, and aerospace systems.
• Conduct steady-state and transient thermal simulations using analytical and numerical methods.
• Develop thermal resistance networks and thermal models to predict system performance.
• Design and optimize cooling solutions, including forced-air, liquid cooling, cold plates, heat sinks, and hybrid cooling systems.
• Perform fan/blower selection, coolant loop design, and heat sink optimization.
• Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, PCB layout, and systems engineering teams to minimize thermal stress and improve product reliability.
• Recommend PCB thermal management techniques, including thermal vias, copper pours, and hotspot mitigation.
• Support thermal testing, validation, and correlation of simulation results with experimental data.
• Participate in design reviews, product development, and continuous thermal performance improvements.
• Prepare engineering reports, design documentation, and validation reports.

Required Skills

• Strong understanding of Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, and Fluid Mechanics.
• Experience with thermal simulation tools such as ANSYS Icepak, FloTHERM, STAR-CCM+, Simcenter Flotherm, or COMSOL.
• Knowledge of CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and thermal analysis methodologies.
• Experience in thermal management of electronics, power systems, or aerospace components.
• Familiarity with heat sinks, cold plates, fans, liquid cooling systems, and thermal interface materials.
• Understanding of PCB thermal design and electronic packaging.
• Strong analytical, troubleshooting, and problem-solving skills.
• Good communication and technical documentation skills.

Qualifications

• B.E./B.Tech/M.E./M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 2–5 years of experience in thermal analysis and thermal management.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with aerospace, UAV, automotive, or power electronics products.
• Exposure to CFD simulations and thermal validation testing.
• Knowledge of scripting using Python or MATLAB is an added advantage.
• Familiarity with international thermal design and testing standards.
