Role Summary

The Thermal Systems Engineer will be responsible for the CFD analysis of thermal management systems for electric buses and Trucks. This includes Battery Cooling Systems (BCS), cabin cooling and Traction Cooling airflow/ coolant simulations. The role requires a strong combination of analytical, CFD skills to ensure system performance across Indian climatic and duty cycle conditions.

Key Responsibilities

1. Battery Cooling System (BCS)

• Coolant flow/ pressure estimation for coolant hoses
• Airflow analysis for inlet and outlet ducts/grills
• Coolant flow analysis for battery cooling plate

2. Cabin Thermal & Ventilation Systems

• Airflow analysis for bus/truck cabin

3. Traction Cooling System

• Coolant flow/ pressure estimation for coolant hoses
• Airflow analysis for inlet and outlet ducts/grills

Key Competencies/Skills

System level

• Own the CFD simulation strategy for under hood airflow, engine cooling, HVAC, and battery thermal management systems
• Expertise in CFD simulation for Air flow and coolant
• Expertise in tools AStar CCM
• Exposure to design-of-experiments (DOE) and parametric study workflows
• Knowledge of 1D/3D co-simulation (GT-SUITE, Kuli) for system-level thermal validation
• Hands-on experience with structured, polyhedral, and trimmed hex meshing strategies
• Proven track record of delivering CFD analysis in high-pressure vehicle programme timelines
• Provide engineering recommendations on cooling package layout, duct routing, grille aperture, and fan sizing based on simulation results
• Interface with test teams to align virtual and physical validation activities
• Familiarity with ANSA, Fluent Meshing (watertight/fault-tolerant), or ICEM CFD
