Thermal 1D VDDV Engineer

Job Description

The Role

The VTM1D Thermal VDDV Engineer is responsible for the execution of 1D thermal system modeling and virtual validation in support of General Motors current and future vehicle programs. This role applies independent technical judgment to nonroutine engineering challenges and supports the continued advancement of GMs vehicle thermal virtual development and validation (VDDV) capabilities. The position operates under general supervision independently completing most standard work and escalating complex issues as appropriate. Impact is primarily within the vehicle thermal VDDV domain with periodic crossfunctional collaboration across adjacent engineering teams.

What Youll Do

• Thermal System Modeling & Analysis

• Execute 1D thermal system simulations to support vehicle thermal sizing development and virtual validation. Support design decisions through technical influence and databased recommendations.

• Apply knowledge of thermal physics system behavior and component interactions to identify issues and recommend solutions.

• Independently select appropriate analysis methods within established procedures standards and guidelines.

• Support development enhancement and application of VDDV tools methods and standard work aligned with an allvirtual development approach.

• Contribute to capability growth in areas such as model robustness modularization optimization and datadriven methods.

• Apply established and emerging techniques to improve model accuracy efficiency and repeatability.

• Collaborate with System and Module Teams thermal component and subsystem suppliers propulsion systems teams validation calibration and software development teams.

• Identify and propose opportunities for process improvement efficiency gains and risk reduction within the VDDV workflow.

• Proactively anticipate needs within own work area and escalate potential issues or roadblocks when necessary.

• Communicate analysis results risks and recommendations clearly to peers and leadership.

• Provide technical guidance and training to less experienced engineers on analysis tools methods and standard practices.
