Intel desires entry into market segments served by high performance discrete graphics. Participation in such market segments requires the delivery of reference platforms to downstream customers with sufficient confidence to ramp the design, or a very close derivative, into high volume production quickly. Intel is building this capability and now seeks to expand its discrete graphics Platform Engineering team. Are you interested? Then XPE has an opportunity for you. In XPE, we are responsible for delivering leading GPU solutions for integrated and discrete graphics across market segments, and will continue to deliver a pipeline of innovation, to support the complete Intel platform, including CPU, memory, and accelerators. We are looking for a Senior Thermal and Acoustic Design engineer to join our team.

As a Senior Thermal and Acoustic Design Engineer in XPE you will:

• Design and optimize high performance thermal solutions and overall platform designs, for Intel dGPU cards and systems considering all acoustic aspects.

• Utilize your knowledge to influence upstream, internal, and external teams to ensure from thermal and electrical perspectives, the platform meets acoustic requirements. This entails an in depth understanding of heat transfer fundamentals, knowledge of air mover optimization metrics and a background in simulation and design of experiments to effectively determine a concept design, then validate it through testing.

• Be aware of typical industry thermal and acoustic technologies and concerns and be keen to explore new technologies to further push the envelope and become an industry leader in acoustic performance. You should be proficient in documenting your work and communicating with design partners or high-level management.

• Work in collaboration with engineers from all competencies of the system engineering team (mechanical, PCB layout, board design, power design, etc.), the program management team, and teams outside of system engineering (software, etc.) to ensure products are delivered to both technical and schedule requirements.

• In addition, you may work with key OEM/ODM partners or customers in support of their designs.

The Senior Thermal and Acoustic Design Engineer should possess the following behavioral traits.

• Well organized, with good written and oral communication skills.

• Passionate about innovation and end to end ownership.

• Comfort with change and change management, as well as team collaboration with sites worldwide.

• Good communication skills.
