As a member of the Battery Modeling Team the Battery Thermal Engineer will be responsible for thermal and multi physics modeling across all battery enabled products. This role focuses on developing advanced thermal CFD and finite volume models at the cell pack and BMS subsystem levels enabling accurate prediction of thermal behavior and supporting design optimization.
The ideal candidate will have deep expertise in Ansys Electronic Desktop (AEDT) and Icepak strong fundamentals in thermal sciences and CFD and experience translating electrical power maps into detailed thermal simulations. This role works closely with internal engineering teams and external CAE vendors to improve modeling workflows tools and methodologies.
Key Responsibilities
Develop state of the art thermal and multi physics finite volume (FE) models for battery cells modules packs and BMS subsystems.
Generate modeling capability to convert electrical power maps into thermal outputs.
Perform advanced thermal and CFD simulations to evaluate boundary conditions at the cell pack and system levels.

Develop optimized workflows reusable templates and automation for recurring thermal and CFD simulations.
Define and implement thermal modeling best practices across the Battery Modeling team.
Collaborate with CAE tool vendors to influence feature development and improve solver functionality.
Explore new analysis types and advanced solutions including topological optimization techniques.
Extract Reduced Order Models (ROMs) from CFD simulations to accelerate early stage and exploratory studies.
Effectively communicate simulation results and recommendations to cross functional engineering teams.
Minimum Qualifications
MS or PhD in Engineering with 3 years of industry experience.
Mechanical Engineering background with strong fundamentals in heat transfer CFD and thermal modeling.
MUST HAVE Expert level experience with Ansys Electronic Desktop (AEDT) and Icepak.
Experience with AEDTPython or other scripting languages for workflow automation.
