Custom thermal systems and precision manufacturing for semiconductor and advanced industries
Therm-X operates a vertically integrated contract manufacturer with in-house thermal design, CNC machining, metal joining, and electro-mechanical assembly — all performed at their Hayward facility. Active hiring is concentrated in manufacturing (9 roles) rather than engineering (4), and their project pipeline centers on process improvement, ERP migration, and materials optimization, suggesting a manufacturing-operations pivot rather than new product development.
Therm-X designs and manufactures custom thermal management systems, heaters, sensors, and control systems for semiconductor equipment, alternative energy, medical/biotech, aerospace, petrochemical, and food/beverage sectors. The company combines thermal modeling, CNC machining, vacuum and hydrogen brazing, and panel assembly under one roof in Hayward, California. They also maintain a West Coast inventory of off-the-shelf components (controllers, thermocouples, RTDs, data acquisition systems) and operate Therm-X SVT in Vietnam as a lower-cost manufacturing partner for higher-volume orders. Founded in 1983, the company employs 201–500 people.
Therm-X provides vertically integrated manufacturing: thermal design and testing, CNC machining, metal joining (vacuum and hydrogen brazing), sheet metal fabrication, and electro-mechanical assembly. All core operations run from Hayward, California.
