Meta's Infrastructure Hardware team is seeking a Component Quality Engineer specializing in thermal and mechanical systems to support the development and qualification of hardware components used in large-scale data center infrastructure. In this role, you will own the quality engineering lifecycle for thermal management and mechanical components — including heat sinks, fans, chassis structures, and cooling assemblies — ensuring they meet Meta's reliability, performance, and manufacturability standards. You will partner closely with hardware design, supply chain, and manufacturing teams to drive component qualification, failure analysis, and continuous improvement programs that underpin the reliability of Meta's global infrastructure fleet.

Qualifications:

6+ years of experience in component quality engineering, hardware reliability engineering, or mechanical/thermal engineering within a consumer electronics, data center, or server hardware environment 6+ years of experience with thermal and mechanical component qualification methodologies, including reliability testing standards such as JEDEC, IPC, ASTM, or equivalent Experience performing failure analysis techniques for mechanical and thermal components, including root cause investigation, corrective action development, and supplier engagement Experience with FMEA, tolerance analysis, and design-for-reliability principles applied to thermal management systems or mechanical assemblies Experience using data analysis to evaluate component reliability trends, qualification results, and supplier quality metrics to inform engineering decisions Familiarity with computational thermal simulation tools (e.g., CFD) or mechanical simulation tools (e.g., FEA) used to validate component performance Experience with liquid cooling systems, cold plates, or advanced thermal management technologies used in high-density computing or data center environments Background in developing qualification test plans and reliability specifications for custom or semi-custom hardware components in a hyperscale infrastructure context Experience conducting or supporting supplier quality audits and managing engineering change control processes for mechanical or thermal components
