Job Description

Arista seeks to add a Thermal Engineer to address thermal engineering design challenges of high-end switching products in Santa Clara, California. This position reports to the Mechanical Engineering Manager. In this role, you will work closely with the Electrical design and hardware validation teams to ensure fulfillment of overall system requirements. As the Thermal Engineer you will be responsible for addressing all thermal design related issues on different projects.

Responsibilities

• Develop thermal cooling strategy for high-end switching products.
• Work independently to perform complete thermal analysis and design using Icepak.
• Capable of conducting different engineering experimental tests to verify design (e.g., components, system level, etc.) and correlate with computational results.

Qualifications

• BS Degree in Mechanical Engineering - MSME or Ph.D. preferred.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of direct professional experience in thermal design and analysis of electronic appliances using Icepak, FloTHERM, SmartCFD, etc.
