Climatic Comfort Engineer (Hybrid)

The AeroX & Climatic Comfort Engineer contributes to project and tender development by applying engineering processes and domain guidelines within the areas of internal aerodynamics thermal behaviour HVAC performance and climatic comfort.

The role focuses primarily on thermofluid dynamic simulations and comfort assessments using tools such as STARCCM and Therm to evaluate airflow distribution thermal loads ventilation efficiency and overall passenger and driver comfort.

The engineer also performs experimental activities both onmock-ups (air duct networks HVAC units environmental chambers) and on trainsto assess climatic performance during preliminary and final validation.
The position contributes to advanced methods development R&D initiatives and crossdisciplinary innovation activities.

• Quality and robustness of simulations and reports
• On-time delivery
• Technical contribution to crossfunctional activities
• Teamwork and knowledge sharing

• Perform CFD simulations for internal aerodynamics and climatic comfort (air distribution temperature uniformity draft risk HVAC efficiency).
• Analyse thermal behaviour of passenger and driver cabins including heat loads ventilation rates and HVAC system performance.
• Support the design and optimization of HVAC units air ducts diffusers intakes filters heating and cooling solutions.
• Predict climate comfort indicators using standard methodologies and internal best practices (temperature maps PMV/PPD local thermal comfort metrics etc.).
• Define comfort requirements at vehicle and subsystem level.
• Prepare technical documentation for offers and projects concerning climatic performance.
• Plan participate in and analyse experiments in environmental chambers mockups or ontrain tests (cooling/heating curves airflow measurements thermal transients).
• Support development of advanced modelling techniques combining internal aerodynamics thermal loads and occupant comfort.
• Contribute to R&D programs focused on improving comfort energy efficiency and HVAC system integration.
• Interact with AeroX and Comfort experts in other sites to leverage shared knowledge.

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Mechanical Engineering Energy Engineering Aeronautical Engineering or related fields.

• 5 years in thermofluid dynamics HVAC climatic comfort engineering railway or similar sectors.
• Experience in both numerical simulation and experimental testing.
• Experience managing technical tasks or small teams is preferred.

• Good knowledge of CFD software (STARCCM CFX Fluent PowerFLOW etc.).
• Solid understanding of thermal management HVAC systems air distribution and human comfort assessment.
• Familiarity with fluidstructure interaction and aerothermal coupling is a plus.
• Ability to lead transversal R&D actions and methodology development.

• Strong communication skills and proactivity.
• Team-oriented mindset in a multidisciplinary environment.
• Strategic thinking and problem-solving abilities.

• English: Advanced (mandatory)
• Italian: Advanced conversational/reading (preferred)
