At This is Innovative Technologies, we are not just manufacturing parts — we are solving one of the biggest physical bottlenecks in the AI revolution: heat. As traditional data center cooling approaches its limits, we’ve developed ultra-high-performance Smartfins technology, powered by proprietary generative algorithms. We are a lean, fast-moving startup bridging software intelligence and large-scale hardware manufacturing. If you want to see your code turn into real-world hardware deployed globally, this is the place. The Role As a Senior R&D Engineer, you will own the algorithmic engine behind our thermal innovation. This is not a user role — you will build and evolve the core generative design kernel that defines our products. You will work with high autonomy, translating complex thermal physics into production-ready code that generates next-generation liquid-cooled cold plates. Key Responsibilities Architect the Solver Develop and maintain proprietary generative design engines using C++ / Python within OpenFOAM or similar CFD frameworks. Optimize Smartfins Logic Implement advanced topology optimization methods (Adjoint, Level-Set, SIMP) to push the limits of conjugate heat transfer (CHT). Bridge Math & Manufacturing Integrate real-world manufacturing constraints directly into the optimization loop to ensure designs are production-ready. Drive the Digital Twin Collaborate with software teams to automate and scale design cycles. Lead Through Research Translate cutting-edge thermal research into scalable, high-performance code for next-gen CPU/GPU cooling. What You Bring The Essentials Advanced Academic Background Master’s or PhD in Mathematical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, or related field Developer Mindset Strong experience building custom tools/solvers in C++ or Python Topology Optimization Expertise Deep knowledge of: Adjoint methods Density-based methods (SIMP) Level-Set approaches Thermal Fluency Strong foundation in: Thermodynamics Liquid cooling Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) Startup Grit Comfortable in fast-paced environments with high ownership and rapid iteration Nice to Have (Extra Mile) Experience integrating manufacturing constraints (e.g. 3D printing overhangs, casting limits) into optimization workflows Hands-on experience with OpenFOAM or similar CFD tools Exposure to data centers or AI infrastructure Proven track record of scaling research into real-world industrial applications Why Join Us?
