The ATS Engineering Subscription Program gives your team on-demand access to experienced thermal engineers through a structured, tier-based model. We offer three tiers designed to fit your engineering demands, including consultations, lab access, and embedded engineering support—built to accelerate validation and reduce thermal risk.
With a predictable monthly investment and faster response times, your team gains scalable, expert support that shortens development cycles and improves design confidence.
Response times: 2 weeks / 48 hours / 24 hours 4000+ Technical Library articles Premium: Characterization + Two-phase labs
Trusted by teams in: Data Centers • Power Electronics • Aerospace • EV Systems • Medical Devices
A simple engagement model that scales from targeted guidance to embedded engineering and lab validation.
Select response time + access level based on timeline and complexity.

CFD Optimization of a Ruggedized Electro-Optical Cooling Architecture
ATS executed a baseline-to-optimized thermal design cycle for a ruggedized electro-optical module with mixed heat sources under elevated ambient conditions. The work focused on reducing thermal resistance and improving sensor temperature stability within tight packaging constraints.
- Application: Portable threat detection / electro-optical module / embedded display systems
- Ambient: 40°C
- Total Heat Load: 27W
- Cooling Mode: Fan-forced convection
4 kW Multi-Cold-Plate Liquid Cooling System Design and Optimization
Advanced Thermal Solutions (ATS) designed and validated a 4 kW liquid cooling system using four 1000 W cold plates. Through analytical modeling and CFD validation, ATS optimized cold plate geometry and system flow to maximize thermal performance within manufacturing and hydraulic constraints.
- Application: EV battery power conversion cooling / electro-optical module / embedded display systems
- Ambient: 45°C
- Total Heat Load: 4000 W
- Coolant: 50/50 water-glycol
Thermal Architecture Optimization of Dual Power Supply Modules
ATS optimized two power supply module architectures, Gen 4 and Gen 2, for operation at 45°C ambient. The work focused on clustered high-power devices, airflow utilization, and shared cooling strategies to maintain component compliance in a manufacturable package.
- Application: Dual power supply modules
- Ambient: 45°C
- Architectures: Gen 4 and Gen 2
- Focus: Airflow utilization and component compliance
Common questions about scope, workflow, and what's included.
If you have consistent, full-time thermal engineering demand across multiple programs, a full-time hire can make sense. The ATS subscription is ideal when you need senior thermal expertise on-demand, faster access than hiring, and (in Premium) lab validation capability—without the overhead, ramp time, and long recruiting cycle.
You can submit as many requests as you want—your tier determines how many are actively worked at once and the response time SLA.
- BASIC: up to 5 consultations/month
- STANDARD: unlimited consultations (prioritized queue)
- PREMIUM: embedded support + consults, highest priority
Your work is handled by ATS thermal engineers with deep experience in electronics cooling (air and liquid), system integration, and validation. PREMIUM includes an embedded thermal engineer on-site 1–2 days every two weeks, plus lab access.
Thermal-engineering–focused support, including:
- Thermal architecture reviews and design guidance
- Simulation/modeling guidance and best practices
- Heat sink / cold plate selection and integration recommendations
- Validation plans, instrumentation guidance, and test protocols
- Decision-ready documentation and summaries
- Premium: experimental validation through Characterization + Two-phase labs
We use industry-standard thermal engineering workflows and your subscription includes software fees for computational + CAD tools. For Premium, lab access adds experimental validation capability.
ATS subscriptions are delivered under a contract. We can work within your company's access requirements.
This is a semi-annual contract with the option to cancel after six months, with a 30-day notice. Billing includes upfront payment for 6 months.
If it's truly one-off, ATS can often handle it as a standalone engagement. The subscription is best when you want ongoing access, iterative design cycles, and/or validation planning support over months.
