• Battery or lithium-ion cell and pack experience.
• Electronics cooling experience.
• Experience with Cadence Allegro or electronics layout design.
• Experience with NX and COMSOL.

Responsibilities

• Develop models that convert power maps into thermal outputs.
• Perform advanced thermal and CFD simulations for cells, battery packs, BMS subsystems, and system-level analysis.
• Develop optimized workflows and reusable thermal simulation templates.
• Establish thermal modeling best practices.
• Explore analysis techniques, including topology optimization.
• Extract Reduced Order Models (ROM) from CFD simulations.
• Collaborate with CAE vendors on tool and functionality improvements.
• Understand product test requirements and design test cases.
• Author test plans based on business requirements and testable requirements.
