  • Collaborate with design partners to meet technical and regulatory requirements
  • Conduct component CFD to determine performance characteristics
  • Develop CFD models to understand air flow through cooling packages
  • Develop underhood thermal CFD models to predict component temperatures
  • Collaborate with test engineers and correlate analysis models
  • Perform analysis to assist in resolving cooling-related field problems
  • Contribute to improvements in simulation methods and processes
  • Help to establish technical requirements and specifications for new products
 
Education & Experience Required:
