About the role
- You will analyze our products through simulation and physical testing to develop system level optimized solutions for IC engine & electric power systems, fuel & air systems, filtration & aftertreatment systems, and battery & fuel cell electric systems.
- To do this you will be applying knowledge of fluid mechanics, heat transfer, thermodynamics, filtration, and combustion to assigned tasks to help integrate products & systems which deliver customer and regulatory requirements.
- Utilize the core competencies of thermal and fluid sciences, employing and developing advanced analytical tools (including three-dimensional modeling) to answer key questions about the performance and architecture of a system or component.
- Analytically investigating product, system and/or technology problems and recommending appropriate actions for problem resolution and/or optimization
- Using your understanding of fundamental Physics to understand causal mechanisms, recommend appropriate action and assisting with documented problem resolutions.
- Actively collaborating with key stakeholders and colleagues, using analysis results to impact and support the successful advancement of projects
- Participating in problem resolution for moderately/high complex components, products, systems, subsystems, or services with a high degree of technical complexity and ambiguity and with accountability to the project team.
- Using tools related to thermal and fluid sciences such as Fluent (ANSYS Simulation ~ Simulink), GT-Suite, Boost, Converge (CFD Software, Emissions data system, Hardware in the loop testing, MATLAB (with In-House developed plugins)
- This role will not include management of people but could involve the coordination of work amongst employees.
