Thermal Validation Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled and motivated Thermal Validation Engineer. The ideal candidate will have strong hands-on experience in thermal characterization, power testing, and system-level validation. This role requires excellent reasoning ability, analytical thinking, and aptitude.

Key Responsibilities

• Perform thermal validation, characterization, and profiling on mobile/embedded platforms.
• Conduct power measurement, efficiency analysis, and thermalpower correlation studies.
• Develop and execute test plans, analyze logs, and generate detailed reports.
• Collaborate with system, design, firmware, and hardware teams for thermal optimization.
• Investigate thermal anomalies, perform root cause analysis, and recommend fixes.
• Support test infrastructure development, automation scripts, and methodology improvements.
• Ensure compliance with power/thermal specifications and customer requirements.
• Document thermal results and present findings to engineering and management teams.

Required Skills & Experience

• 24 years of experience in thermal validation, power testing, or system-level performance testing.
• Hands-on experience with IR cameras, thermocouples, thermal chambers, and power analyzers.
• Knowledge of Android/embedded systems and SoC architecture.
• Familiarity with thermal simulation and material thermal properties.
• Strong analytical, reasoning, and problem-solving abilities.
• Experience with scripting (Python/Perl/Shell) for automation and data analysis.
• Understanding of CPU/GPU throttling, power profiling, and performance-per-watt metrics.
• Excellent communication and documentation skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with Qualcomm chipsets, thermal/power tools, or mobile platform validation.
• Knowledge of thermal modeling tools like ANSYS Icepak or FloTHERM.
• Exposure to thermal cycling, reliability tests (HALT/HASS), and stress validation.
• Experience in PPAT or platform-level validation.

Education
