An automotive company is looking for aThermal System Simulation Engineer.

Responsibilities:

• Lead Thermal System 1D model development and validation work streams for each vehicle build phase, to ensure Thermal System performance meets attribute and system level requirements.
• Create and develop 1D/3D Cabin model to support Climate System specification creation for Climate System Engineer and/or external partners.
• Collaborate with Thermal System Principal Engineer to ensure that Thermal System components are suitable/sized correctly to meet system performance targets.
• Collaborate with Suppliers to capture component/subsystem characteristic data to implement into 1D model.
• Collaborate with Aerodynamics/CFD Engineers (internal & external) to ensure robust 1D model inputs and support Heat Exchanger optimization activities.
• Develop and optimize EDU and Battery thermal models to ensure correlation to real-world performance.
• Collaborate with Thermal System Test & Integration Engineer to correlate 1D models with physical test data.
• Co-simulate Thermal System 1D model with Thermal System Control model(s) during Virtual test (Software in Loop and Model In Loop) work streams, to ensure Thermal System Control functionality supports the Thermal System to meet program deliverables.
• Support Thermal System Principal Engineer with development & cascade of Thermal System Control Requirements to Control Team.
• Support Platform Control Optimization work streams, to balance Thermal System attribute

Requirements:

• Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent experience.
• Experience of 1D modelling of single & dual phase thermal systems.
• 1-D Simulation Tools - Gamma Technologies Suite (GT ISE /GEM3D/POST/GT TaiTherm) preferred.
• 3D Simulation Tools - GT CONVERGE/STAR CCM+
• Matlab Simulink modelling experience.
• Co-Simulation experience.
• Interpreting of Rig & Vehicle Test Data.
• Knowledge of HV battery, Electrified Drive Units [EDU] and Power Electronics.
• Excellent communication, interpersonal and team working skills.
• Strong knowledge of thermal management principles, heat transfer, thermodynamics, and fluid dynamics.
• ILR to live and work in the UK.
