Thermal Engineer

About This Position

  • Location: Sderot, Israel (On-site)
  • Reports to: R&D Team Lead
  • CV submission email: [email protected]

We are seeking a highly skilled Thermal Engineer to design, analyze, and optimize thermal management solutions across our products and systems. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical capability, hands-on experience with thermal simulation tools, and a solid understanding of heat transfer, fluid mechanics, and materials.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and develop thermal management systems, including cooling architectures, heat exchangers, and thermal interfaces.
  • Perform detailed thermal simulations (CFD, FEA) to predict temperature distribution, heat flow, and performance under various operating conditions.
  • Conduct experimental testing and validation of thermal components using lab equipment such as thermal chambers, calorimeters, sensors, and DAQ systems.
  • Evaluate thermal performance trade-offs and optimize designs for efficiency, cost, manufacturability, and reliability.
  • Collaborate with electrical, mechanical, and system engineering teams to integrate thermal solutions into products.
  • Create technical documentation including thermal models, test reports, and design guidelines.
  • Investigate thermal failures, perform root-cause analysis, and implement corrective actions.
  • Support prototype build and participate in Design Reviews.

Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, or a related field.
  • 7+ years of experience in R&D thermal management roles.
  • Strong understanding of thermodynamics, heat transfer, and fluid dynamics.
  • Experience with thermal simulation tools such as ANSYS Icepak, Fluent, COMSOL, FloTHERM, or similar.
  • Familiarity with CAD tools (SolidWorks, CATIA, Creo, etc.).
  • Knowledge of thermal testing equipment and techniques.
  • Ability to interpret electrical and mechanical system requirements and convert them into thermal constraints.
  • Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with battery systems, e-mobility or renewable energy.
  • Experience designing for manufacturability and reliability in production environments.

Personal Attributes

  • Strong attention to detail and data-driven decision-making.
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally in a fast-paced environment.
  • Innovative mindset with a willingness to explore and test new approaches.
