Job Description

We are looking for a Thermal Electrical Component Simulation Engineer to join us!

Missions:

• Provide expert guidance to design teams, playing a crucial role within the development team to ensure thermal and electrical components meet functional objectives.
• Utilize a range of commercial and internal tools for the analysis of batteries, cooling circuits, Electric Drive Modules (EDM), and other electrified components/systems.
• Design and size internal cooling systems, ensuring operational temperatures remain within specified limits considering material properties, environmental conditions, and performance requirements.
• Develop comprehensive 0D/1D simulation models based on CAD models and functional specifications to meet design requirements.
• Engage in the development of thermal models for high, medium, and low voltage battery electric systems, including cable/connector/busbar analyses.
• Execute thermal model development for EDMs and perform sizing calculations for coolant/oil pumps and heat exchangers.
• Address the thermal management of lube and cooling circuits for electrified propulsion systems, including heater cores.
• Convert detailed simulation models to Fast Running Models (FRM)/Real-Time (RT) for efficient analysis.
• Facilitate the integration of models for comprehensive system-level simulations, ensuring cohesive performance assessment.
• Lead simulations for battery cell, module, and pack thermal management, as well as cooling control logic, to innovate thermal architecture and management solutions.
• Analyze simulation results, articulating findings and recommendations through oral presentations and written reports to key stakeholders, including Chief Engineers, Centers of Excellence (COEs), Component Engineers, and Powertrain management as necessary.
• Support team members with non-standard modeling approaches and contribute to the development and publication of Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) documentation.
