About the role
We are seeking a highly motivated Senior Applications Engineer to serve as the primary technical partner for our customers as they evaluate and adopt our high-performance thermal interface material (TIM) products. This role is ideal for an engineer who thrives at the intersection of customer engagement, problem-solving, and product performance validation. You will be responsible for leading early- to mid-stage customer interactions, capturing and translating requirements into actionable technical work, and ensuring that customers have the data, samples, and support they need to successfully integrate and qualify our TIM in their advanced semiconductor packaging applications. This position offers the opportunity to work closely with hyperscalers, ODMs, and OSATs, and to influence the adoption of cutting-edge thermal solutions in next-generation AI and data center systems. Join us to solve one of the most critical challenges facing the Semiconductor and Electronics Industry – thermal management!
What you'll bring
- Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Materials Science, Electrical Engineering, or related field.
- CAD modeling and drafting, hands-on experience prototyping, mechanical and thermal testing, data analysis, and report generation.
- 3–7 years of experience in semiconductor packaging, electronics assembly, thermal interface materials, or applications engineering in a B2B technical product company.
- Strong understanding of system-level processor packaging/thermal design (cold plate and stiffener/lid design, TIM1/TIM1.5/TIM2 selection) and associated reliability testing (uHAST, TCT, HTS, etc.).
- Proven ability to lead cross-functional technical efforts and deliver customer-specific solutions on time.
- Excellent communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to both engineers and non-technical stakeholders.
- 10-20% travel to customer sites required.
- Experience with design and fabrication of elastomeric materials is a plus.
- Familiarity with tools such as thermal test setups, C-SAM, X-ray, or FEA modeling is a plus.
