Propulsion Thermal Management 3D CFD Engineer

GM•Warren, MI

3d•Hybrid

About The Position

This role within the Global Propulsion Engineering division offers the opportunity to work in a highly collaborative team focused on virtual process development and execution. Propulsion related thermal and fluid simulations are the primary focus. 3D Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) models are used to directly impact design and eliminate hardware testing. Simulations are primarily focused on engines, transmissions, electric motors & drive units, with extended scope of the team in battery cells and related processes.

Requirements

Bachelor of Science in Engineering
2+ years of experience with simulation, design, testing, or release of propulsion related systems
2+ years of experience with CFD analysis of propulsion related systems
Familiarity or practical experience with the principles of vehicle propulsion system design, operation, or testing

Nice To Haves

MS in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with coursework in heat transfer and fluid mechanics preferred
Experience with STAR-CCM+ or Simerics-MP+ CFD software
Experience with CFD optimization tools
Experience with test to model correlation
Experience with programming in Python, Java, or equivalent languages
Linux experience in distributed computing environments
Experience with the latest CFD visualization techniques
Knowledge of Siemens NX CAD modeling

Responsibilities

Development of new and innovative CFD simulations related to electrified propulsion components
Collaboratively work in small teams focused on the development of complex multiphase flow and/or thermal simulations
Application of developed and developing capabilities to directly impact design, processes, and for the elimination of hardware testing
Provide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis results
Participate in product design and development teams and present analysis results to engineering peers and management
Provide technical insight for problem resolution by leveraging analysis results
Benchmarking and evaluation of new procedures, technology, or software tools
Contribute to the development of automation tools using Python or Java
