About the Job

Requirements

  • A Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a closely related field.
  • 0–3 years of professional experience; relevant internship, co-op, or hands-on project experience will be considered.
  • Proficiency with computer-aided design (CAD) modeling and drafting using SolidWorks, Creo, or similar software, and working knowledge of geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T).
  • Hands-on prototyping and laboratory skills, including building fixtures, running tests, and troubleshooting setups.
  • A solid grounding in heat transfer and mechanics fundamentals, and interest in electronics packaging and thermal design.
  • Strong data analysis and technical writing skills.
  • Excellent communication skills and willingness to ask questions, take direction, and learn quickly.
  • Up to 10% travel to customer or vendor sites is expected.
  • Applicants must be currently authorized to work in the United States on a full-time basis.

Responsibilities

  • Create computer-aided design (CAD) models, assembly drawings, and fabrication documentation for integrating liquid-metal-based thermal interface materials into customer-specific electronic packages.
  • Build, instrument, and test package and assembly mockups to demonstrate design feasibility, including mechanical and reliability testing.
  • Run thermal and mechanical test setups, reduce and analyze the resulting data, and summarize findings in clear internal reports.
  • Coordinate part fabrication with internal shop resources and external vendors to keep project schedules on track.
  • Support senior engineers in customer technical engagements by preparing sample builds, test data packages, and supporting material for application notes and design guides.
  • Help capture and document customer technical requirements, including geometric, load, assembly, and environmental constraints, thermal budgets, and reliability standards.
  • Support the research and development team in continuous improvement of system and product performance.
  • Maintain organized design files, test records, and documentation to support customer qualification processes.

Desired Qualifications

  • Proficiency with Excel, Python, or MATLAB is a plus.
  • Exposure to semiconductor packaging, electronics assembly, thermal interface materials, or reliability testing (TCT, HTS, uHAST) is a plus.
  • Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) modeling is a plus.

About the Company

Boston Materials

Manufactures liquid-metal thermal interface materials

Boston Materials develops advanced energy-transfer composites for high-performance electronics, aerospace, and electrified mobility. Its flagship Liquid Metal ZRT® combines vertically oriented carbon fibers with a liquid metal matrix to form a thermal interface that boosts cooling and is designed as a drop-in preform for automated assembly. The same Z-axis fiber approach is used for interlaminar reinforcement to prevent delamination, and the company is exploring lightweight bipolar plates for hydrogen fuel cells, produced via roll-to-roll processing with reclaimed carbon fiber. The goal is to scale production to meet industrial demand across semiconductors, aerospace, and electrified-vehicle markets while expanding adoption and advancing sustainability through recycled carbon fiber use.
