Johnson Controls
Produces HVAC, fire, security and building automation systems to optimize and protect buildings globally.
Thermal Systems Engineer
Design, analyze, and test thermal systems for data center cooling.
Job Highlights
About the Role
In this role you will support product development across the entire thermal chain, from server-level heat capture to ambient heat rejection, while building expertise in heat transfer, fluid dynamics, thermodynamics, and integrated system design. You will work closely with cross-functional teams, including controls, electrical, and mechanical engineers, to ensure thermal performance meets project goals. • Assist in prototype development, testing, and validation of thermal components. • Participate in design reviews and produce thermal calculations and documentation. • Apply thermal modeling tools, CFD software, and test equipment under guidance. • Develop understanding of the full thermal chain from chip-level cooling to ambient heat rejection. • Support cross-functional teams including controls, electrical, and mechanical engineering. • Perform heat-transfer analysis (conduction, convection, two-phase) and thermodynamic cycle analysis. • Design fluid-mechanics and hydraulic systems and size thermal components.
