Full Job Description
The Cooling System Design and development Engineer is responsible for sizing and development and releasing Cooling systems on multiple programs which involves sizing cooling system based on cooling requirements, requiring deep understanding of fluid dynamics models and integrating the models with other inputs and outputs from and to other models (CFD and 1D) to populate source packages and communicating detailed specifications to other groups who rely on these inputs to build the vehicle model. Sizing the cooling components correctly and accurately is one of the keys to ensure adequate cooling which directly impacts vehicle functional objectives. This role also requires a good understanding of electrical circuit, motors and the interface to the aerodynamic model of the fan.
The Candidate will:
Lead the end-to-end design, development, validation, and release of various cooling components, ensuring they're properly integrated and meet all functional objectives both at component
Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that cooling components meet performance, safety, and quality standards, while contributing to the overall vehicle objectives
Create, maintain, and manage the Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) and Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) documents for cooling components, ensuring comprehensive validation and risk management
Drive the achievement of program timing milestones by effectively coordinating tasks, resources, and activities within the project timeline
Apply Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) principles to guide the development process and ensure robust product launches
Utilize Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to conduct simulations and analyses, optimizing component designs for efficiency and performance
Leverage expertise in software tools including KULI, STAR CCM, CATIA V5, Unigraphics NX, Vis Mockup, and TeamCenter to design, visualize, and communicate component designs effectively
Apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodologies to enhance the quality, reliability, and performance of cooling system components
Take ownership of managing the suppliers, ensuring their alignment with technical requirements, project goals and delivery of high-quality components and root causing issues when they arise
Collaborate with manufacturing, testing, and quality teams to seamlessly integrate cooling components into the vehicle architecture
Basic Qualifications:
A minimum of a Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related degree field
A minimum of 5 years of relevant experience including 1 or more years of experience in automotive engineering, with a focus on designing and releasing cooling system components for electrified vehicles
Strong understanding of cooling system components, such as heat exchangers, electric motor driven fan modules, engine driven fans and clutches
Strong understanding of electrical circuits, electric motors
Strong understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamics
Strong understanding of NVH
Proficiency in using CATIA V5 and/or Unigraphics NX for component design and modeling
Experience with Vis Mockup and Teamcenter for collaborative design and visualization
Preferred Qualifications:
Master of Science Degree in Engineering
Proficiency in CFD, FEA and 1D thermal models (gt-suite, Kuli) tools
