Mechanical/Thermal Engineering Intern

We are looking for a highly motivated Mechanical/Thermal Intern that will mainly be responsible for performing thermal and mechanical analysis and test on electronic components at various scales of Rivos hardware equipment. This position will report to the Thermal/Mechanical Engineering Manager. 

• Responsibilities for this position include but not limited to: 
• Build liquid and air-cooling test setup and procedures
• Thermal and mechanical testing of the test boards
• Microchannel cold plate design, test and characterization Wind tunnel measurements to produce Impedance and flow rate data for Rivos enclosures
• Compile test data and generate reportsTransient thermal modeling of Rivos packages for thermal/power management
• Support mechanical design at the board and chassis levels
• Run CFD/FEA simulations (Icepak, Ansys Mechanical) and board level reliability analysis (Sherlock) for thermomechanical integrity and lifetime predictions

• B.S. degree in Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Applied Sciences, a 2nd year M.S. or Ph.D. student in similar disciplines.  
• Team player with good communication and interpersonal skills. 
• Passionate for working in a startup environment.
