About the Job

Requirements

A degree in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering, Fluid Mechanics, or a related field is required; an MSc or PhD is highly valued, particularly when combined with applied research and development and prototype development experience.
Strong background in thermal engineering, fluid dynamics, and heat transfer, with experience developing high-performance liquid cooling systems or devices. Experience with Ansys or COMSOL is a plus.
Hands-on experience designing and validating thermal-fluid hardware, with exposure to technologies such as jet impingement, spray cooling, microjets or microfluidics, or other high heat-flux cooling approaches.
Experience with computational and/or analytical thermal-fluid modeling, ideally including computational fluid dynamics, combined with experimental testing and validation.
Experience designing components for precision or micro-scale manufacturing processes, such as micromachining, and translating engineering concepts into manufacturable prototypes.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of high-performance liquid cooling architectures for single-crystal diamond-based semiconductor thermal management, including jet impingement, spray, and microjet-based concepts.
Model and optimize fluid flow and heat transfer to define jet and nozzle geometries, flow distribution, pressure, temperature, and operating conditions, including single- and two-phase heat transfer regimes.
Design cooling hardware for prototyping and manufacturing, incorporating fluid distribution, extraction and return paths, and micro-machined features while considering practical fabrication constraints.
Build and experimentally characterize prototypes, analyze thermal and fluid performance, and use test results to iterate and improve designs.
Drive technical development from initial concept through prototype demonstration and integration with single-crystal diamond-based semiconductor devices, collaborating with internal engineering and manufacturing teams and external research or fabrication partners as needed.

Desired Qualifications

Experience with Ansys or COMSOL is a plus.
An MSc or PhD is highly valued, particularly when combined with applied research and development and prototype development experience.

Diamond Foundry Inc. is solving the thermal limitation at the foundation of today's most exciting tech industries -- AI & cloud compute, electric-car power electronics, and 5G/6G wireless. We have managed to produce the world's first single-crystal diamond wafers and are now on a mission to put a diamond behind every chip. We are the rare unicorn that has grown fast and profitably. We received $515m in funding and are executing a multi-$B expansion plan for one of the greenest forms of tech manufacturing: converting greenhouse gas into diamond wafers using zero-emission energy.

We are looking for a Senior Thermal-Fluids Engineer to lead the development of advanced liquid cooling solutions for the thermal management of state-of-the-art semiconductor processing devices (chips), leveraging single-crystal diamond (SCD) for high-performance heat spreading. This role will focus on designing, prototyping, and experimentally validating high-performance cooling architectures, with particular emphasis on jet impingement, spray and microjet technologies, and high heat-flux heat transfer. You will work hands-on from early concepts and modeling through prototype fabrication, testing, and integration with SCD-based semiconductor systems.

Responsibilities

Lead the design and development of high-performance liquid cooling architectures for SCD-based semiconductor thermal management, including jet impingement, spray, and microjet-based concepts.

Model and optimize fluid flow and heat transfer to define jet/nozzle geometries, flow distribution, pressure, temperature, and operating conditions, including single- and two-phase heat transfer regimes.

Design cooling hardware for prototyping and manufacturing, incorporating fluid distribution, extraction/return paths, and micro-machined features while considering practical fabrication constraints.

Build and experimentally characterize prototypes, analyzing thermal and fluid performance and using test results to iterate and improve designs.

Drive the technical development from initial concept through prototype demonstration and integration with SCD-based semiconductor devices, collaborating with internal engineering and manufacturing teams and external research or fabrication partners as needed.

About the Company

Diamond Foundry

Manufactures diamond wafers for thermal management

Diamond Foundry produces single crystal diamond wafers used to improve heat management in high-tech systems. They develop and manufacture semiconductor-grade diamond wafers and related technologies for B2B customers, including AI, EVs, and wireless communications, to help devices run cooler and more efficiently. The wafers leverage diamond's exceptional thermal conductivity to spread and dissipate heat from powerful chips beyond what traditional materials can handle. They differentiate themselves by offering a sustainable, zero-carbon production process and a complete semiconductor-grade tech stack, targeting Tier 1 automakers and other high-tech firms. Their goal is to lead in both advanced materials and environmental sustainability by providing reliable, high-performance cooling solutions for mega tech applications.
