Cooling performance limits high-power computing, semi-conductor fab, cell networks, photonics, power electronics, and most of our digital world. JCI enables customers to break through these constraints with novel complex metal components that dramatically improve heat dissipation in high-performance systems. JCI's patented Stack Forging™ process enables complex micro-geometries, resulting in single-piece, leak-tight parts that deliver superior cooling performance, lower pressure drops, and exceptional reliability.  

About the Role 

JCI is seeking a technically skilled and creative Thermal Design Engineer to join our team. The Thermal Design Engineer will support the design and development of high-quality, manufacturable thermal management components that meet performance, quality, and schedule requirements. They will work closely with the production, materials process, solutions, and quality teams to help ensure designs transition smoothly from concept to production. 

This role generally requires 4 days a week onsite. 

Responsibilities
