About the Role

Join AMD's Data Center Platform Engineering Group (DPEG) Thermal Mechanical Engineering team and play a key role in shaping the future of AI computing. This team owns the end-to-end thermal architecture, validation, and deployment of AMD's industry-leading MI Series AI accelerators and data center GPU platforms. Engineers on this team work at the intersection of cutting-edge AI hardware, advanced cooling technologies, and large-scale data center infrastructure.

Responsibilities

  • Design and develop thermal solutions supporting AMD's next generation of data center GPU and AI accelerator products.
  • Collaborate with silicon, board, power, validation, manufacturing, and platform engineering teams to deliver innovative thermal-mechanical solutions from component to system level.
  • Perform thermal validation activities including test planning, laboratory experimentation, data collection, and analysis.
  • Contribute to thermal modeling and simulation efforts to support product development and design optimization.
  • Investigate, evaluate, and advance emerging cooling technologies aligned with AMD's future product roadmap.
  • Support product development activities from concept through commercialization and mass production.
  • Become familiar with AMD thermal design methodologies, tools, products, and development processes while contributing to active engineering projects.
  • Take ownership of critical thermal design and validation efforts, develop domain expertise, and become a key contributor to next-generation AI platform development.

Requirements

  • Strong background in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, and electronics cooling technologies.
  • Experience with thermal management solutions for high-performance computing, data center, server, or AI hardware environments.
  • Experience using CFD tools such as Icepak, ANSYS AEDT, or similar simulation platforms.
  • Knowledge of air-cooled and thermal design methodologies.
  • Experience with thermal laboratory testing, design of experiments (DOE), instrumentation, data acquisition, and data analysis.
  • Experience developing liquid cooling solutions including cold plates, liquid interconnects, manifolds, and related cooling technologies.
  • Familiarity with thermal design components such as thermal interface materials (TIMs), heat spreaders, heat sinks, vapor chambers, heat pipes, and fans.
  • Experience with CAD tools such as SolidWorks or Creo.
  • Exposure to scripting, automation, or data analysis tools including Python, MATLAB, C/C++, or similar languages.
  • Internship, research, or industry experience related to data center infrastructure, semiconductor products, AI accelerators, GPUs, or hyperscale computing environments is highly desirable.
  • This role is not eligible for visa sponsorship.
