Thermal Design Engineer - Rate Negotiable

Thermal Engineer is sought after by a well established organisation in Essex.

Thermal Engineer will work closely with the electronics and board layout engineers at all the different stages of board development, for both rugged and more benign environments. The design team operates in a small company environment which means that most designs are completed by an individual engineer. As a result, each engineer rapidly becomes involved with all aspects of the product design and development. Short design timescales are an important part of the development strategy, which also results in our engineers being involved in many different product designs quite quickly.

The successful candidate MUST:
- Experienced and established Thermal Engineer
- Educated to graduate level and with experience of designing thermal solutions for electronic products in a range of operating environments.
- An ability to design cost-effective and compact solutions which have excellent thermal transfer characteristics.
- Independent and a self-starter, able to plan and carry out your work with little supervision and with the ability to deliver effective results in short timescales.

Desirable Skills/Experience:
- Experience with board-level designs dissipating 60W or more, and using BGA packaged electronic components.
- Familiarity with VPX, VME or CompactPCI bus systems would be beneficial.
- Experience of the thermal and mechanical issues involved in designing for harsh environments such as airborne or ground vehicle mounted equipment would be a significant advantage.
- Familiarity with SolidWorks for mechanical design, and CF Design for thermal analysis.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work in an experienced environment with the potential to be offered a permanent position at the end of you initial contract.
