Job Description

In this position.

As part of our Product Development Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) team, you will focus on virtual vehicle verification and advanced thermal management to deliver high-performance, sustainable mobility solutions.

Drive the virtual design, thermal management, and aerodynamic optimization of advanced braking systems across full-vehicle platforms. By bridging advanced computational simulation with real-world validation, you will solve complex thermal and fluid dynamics challenges early in development, directly contributing to vehicle safety, performance efficiency, and reduced reliance on physical prototypes.

Responsibilities

What you'll do.

Develop, mesh, and execute high-fidelity Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Finite Element Analysis (FEA) models to evaluate thermal, fluid, and structural performance of brake components and full-vehicle cooling architectures.
Deliver data-driven engineering recommendations and design solutions based on thermal-fluid simulation results and physical test data.




Partner closely with cross-functional design, release, testing, and supplier teams throughout the product development lifecycle to guide early design decisions and resolve performance issues.
Automate repetitive simulation workflows and meshing routines using scripting languages to continuously improve CAE turnaround time and modeling precision.
Implement design optimization methodologies (using tools such as mode FRONTIER or HEEDS) to balance cooling performance, weight reduction, and cost efficiency.
Collaborate with physical test engineers to correlate virtual analysis with empirical test results, driving continuous improvement in model correlation and predictive accuracy.

Qualifications

You'll have...

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience).
Typically 3+ years of experience in CFD, FEA, or thermal CAE analysis, preferably within automotive, a
