Manufacturing CFD Engineer – Powertrain & Thermal Systems
Department:
Job Summary
Job Summary
We are seeking a Manufacturing CFD Engineer to support the development of robust powertrain manufacturing processes using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD). The role focuses on simulating thermal and fluid behaviour in manufacturing environments to improve process capability reduce defects and minimise reliance on physical trials. The engineer will work closely with product engineering manufacturing teams and suppliers to ensure designformanufacturing feasibility across powertrain components and systems
Responsibilities
Key Responsibilities
- Apply Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) to simulate and analyse manufacturing processes such as heat treatment quenching washing cooling and cleanroom or facility airflow.
- Evaluate thermal behaviour of powertrain components during manufacturing including cooling time heat dissipation facility HVAC impact and part temperature effects on durability and quality.
- Support Design for Manufacturing (DFM) by collaborating with product designers to optimise engine transmission and battery components for manufacturing conditions and contamination prevention.
- Model fluid systems in manufacturing equipment including coolant delivery highpressure wash stations and lubrication systems.
- Perform virtual validation of manufacturing sequences to reduce physical prototypes trials and rework.
- Conduct root cause analysis using CFD to resolve plantfloor issues such as localised overheating inadequate cooling or fluid contamination.
- Provide technical support to crossfunctional teams including Product Development Manufacturing Engineering (Machining and Assembly) and external suppliers to ensure manufacturing feasibility of new powertrain methods and technologies.
