Thermo-Hydraulic Engineer

✈   Subject: Working closely with our Lead Thermal Management System Engineer, you will play a crucial role in the design and optimisation of our aircraft's thermal and hydraulic systems.

Your role will consist in:

• Conducting detailed analysis and modeling of powertrain thermal management systems, including cooling, heating, and ventilation systems.
• Performing thermo-hydraulic performance analysis of thermal management systems for fuel-cell, power electronics and e-motor cooling for exemple.
• Performing model based study of the thermal management systems, implementing new models and methodologies or identifying and using existing ones to perform system analysis.
• Collaborating with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and performance targets for powertrain thermal management.
• Performing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) simulations and heat transfer analysis to assess system performance and make recommendations for improvement.
• Conducting experimental testing and validation of thermal management system components and subsystems.
• Collaborating with suppliers to evaluate and select appropriate components and materials for thermal management systems.
• Participating in design reviews, provide technical expertise, and contributing to the overall product development process.
• Staying updated with the latest industry trends, technologies, and regulations related to powertrain thermal management systems.
• Documenting and presenting analysis results, technical reports, and recommendations to internal teams and stakeholders.
