Description
Proteus Europe is searching for a Graduate/Junior Thermal Engineer for one of our clients based in Essex.Our Client :-
Our client are an internationally known manufacturer of single board computer products. Their products are designed and developed totally in-house, and use leading-edge Intel microprocessors and a range of peripheral components. Increasingly, many of their products are designed to be produced in a ruggedized form, to operate in much harsher environments than standard commercial products. They sell into many different markets around the world, and in particular have many customers in the telecommunications, aerospace and defence sectors.
Your New role :-
The Thermal Engineers provide key design inputs to the electronics hardware team, and are also very involved in the verification stages of product development, as well as providing on-going support to the design teams in all three countries and to the UK production team. Among the engineer's responsibilities are the following:
- Designing, developing and testing thermal solutions for both convection and conduction cooled products.
- Liaising with the hardware and PCB design engineers to agree optimal layout and construction of the boards.
- Simulating and analysing thermal performance of the products, and implementing any necessary corrections.
- Thermal and mechanical testing of new products and components.
- Developing and improving mechanical and thermal design procedures and practises.
- Maintaining awareness of new technologies.
Your Skills and experience :-
Previous design and analysis experience in an industrial environment is not required.
Essential Skills :-
Candidates should ideally be engineering graduates in a relevant discipline - previous design and analysis experience in an industrial environment is not required. They must be able to demonstrate an ability to learn quickly and should ideally be familiar with some or all of the following:
- An understanding of the principles behind designing thermal solutions for both convection cooled and conduction cooled electronic products.
- Thermal simulation using Flotherm or Flotherm XT or similar product.
- Analysis of thermal characteristics at component level in excess of 40W, and at board level in excess of 60W.
- Mechanical design skills, ideally using SolidWorks, for creating or at least modifying solid model designs for heat sinks and other items.
- Following a thermal design process.
- An appreciation of general production machining processes.
In addition to technical skills, the candidate must be independent and self-motivated but also be able to interact with other engineers both locally and overseas.
Proteus Europe operates in partnership with our candidates by
building strong and lasting relationships at all levels.
