In short
Ericsson seeks a Senior Thermal Designer for its new R&D center in Yokohama, Japan, to develop 5G and future 6G radio products. The role involves delivering competitive thermal solutions, conducting CFD simulations, validating results, and collaborating with global teams and local vendors.
Responsibilities
- Collaborate with other thermal designers globally to contribute to a creative and supportive team culture.
- Conduct Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) simulations to support the development of complex electronic assemblies using state-of-the-art tools.
- Validate simulation results through lab testing and prototype evaluations to ensure thermal performance.
- Generate clear technical reports summarizing simulation outcomes, test results, and recommendations.
- Present numerical and experimental findings to stakeholders across R&D, system, and product management.
- Support troubleshooting and customer cases when thermal issues arise, participating in task forces, RCAs, and design improvements.
- Work closely with system, RF, PA, mechanics, materials, power, production, and other functions to secure end-to-end optimized thermal solutions for Ericsson radio products.
- Drive continuous improvement in tools, methods, and processes for thermal simulation and verification, leveraging global best practices and common processes.
- Take responsibility for personal development, actively sharing lessons learned and contributing to the global thermal roadmap and technology evolution.
Requirements
- M.Sc. or Ph.D. in fluid dynamics, thermal engineering, aerospace, or a closely related field.
- 5-10 years of experience in simulations & measurements.
- Good scripting skills (e.g., C, MATLAB, Python) to automate workflows, post-processing, and data analysis.
- Good understanding of heat and mass transfer and fluid dynamics principles, and how they apply to electronic cooling from component to product level.
- Strong skills in building CFD models with appropriate simplifications that still represent reality, using tools such as FloTherm, Celsius EC, Fluent or equivalent.
- Ability to communicate in spoken and written English.
Desired Qualifications
- Experience with AI/ML libraries is a plus.
- General knowledge and interest in the ICT industry is a plus.
- Enjoyment of working in cross-functional, international, and multi-site teams.
- Curiosity and an internal drive to take on new challenges.
- Confidence to take fact-based, timely, and courageous decisions without letting prestige get in the way.
- Enjoyment of knowledge sharing and contributing to a strong global thermal community, aligning technology strategies and solutions across different sites.
- Japanese language skills are an advantage.
Benefits
- Be part of a state-of-the-art R&D center in Yokohama.
- Develop cutting-edge radio products for 5G and future 6G networks.
- Join one of the best Thermal Design teams in the world.
- Collaborate closely with a global community of 30+ talented designers across Sweden, China, and Canada, as well as local vendors and cross-functional engineering teams.
