• 5-10 years of experience in mechanical and thermal design for electronics products (board- and system-level solutions).
  

• Extensive experience with CFD and FEM analysis of thermal coupling solutions in electronics products.
  

• Proficiency in 2D & 3D CAD (e.g., NX, Solid Works, Catia, Creo, Solid Edge, etc.) and thermal simulation tools (e.g., Flo EFD, ANSYS, COMSOL, etc.).
  

• Proactive and goal-oriented self-starter with strong problem-solving skills.
  

• Strong communication and interpersonal skills.
  

• Fluent in English, both spoken and written.
  

• Enjoy working with multicultural and cross-functional teams and suppliers across different locations.
