Description:

As a CFD Analyst you will have the opportunity to work on Diesel Natural Gas and Battery ElectricTrucks. You will work in a state-of-the-art research and development organization dedicated toproviding high-tech transportation solutions primarily to the North American market. The positionentails a high level of collaboration with cross-functional engineering teams working on futureproducts analyzing complex thermo-mechanical systems and ensuring functional requirements aremet by providing design recommendations.

You will be primarily responsible for evaluating various components and sub-systems and runningcomplete vehicle simulations to ensure cooling performance and thermal management requirementsfor North American products are met. You will work closely with various engineering teams cab electrical & testing teams to coordinate and lead complex simulation tasks. You willinterface directly with the Product Design team to evaluate exterior surfaces and provide feedbackon improving the airflow characteristics to meet functional addition you will act asa technical leader in coordinating and driving design changes with various functional stakeholders.

Job specific responsibilities:

• Conduct CFD analysis of components sub-systems (e.g: heat exchangers exhaust systems air intake systems etc.) and complete vehicle under-hood thermal simulations.
• Conduct technical research post-process and analyze CFD results write engineering reports and provide design recommendations to identify and rectify potential design issue and improve existing designs.
• Work with engineering testing and project teams to plan develop and coordinate test plans provide instrumentation roadmaps and interpret test data to make design recommendations.
• Synthesize information from a variety of resources (simulation/test results technical requirements historical data etc.) and identify areas of improvement for various functional aspects of heavy-duty trucks and form actionable technical recommendations for stakeholders across the engineering organization.
• Lead cross-functional engineering and CAE teams to rectify potential design flaws and drive solutions from concept stage to final production.
