Battery Thermal Engineer

Battery Thermal Engineer" position

What exactly we're looking for -

"Icepak" hands on experience for at least 5 years or so.
Should have "Thermal" Simulation experience. Just like Ansys Workbench, AEDT is an environment in which Icepak CFD software is used.
Only "Testing" experience is not sufficient as the role requires the modelling and simulation.
Any scripting language is a plus (Mainly using scripts to automate some of the functions of "Icepak")

Job Description - Battery Thermal Engineer

As a member of the Battery Modeling team, onsite in Cupertino, CA, the Battery Thermal Engineer, expect in ICEPAK AEDT will be responsible for thermal modeling across all products, developing state-of-the-art thermal and multi-physics finite volume (FE) models of cell, pack, and BMS sub-systems.

Responsibilities

• Generate models/capability to convert power maps into thermal outputs
• Perform advanced thermal/CFD simulations to evaluate boundary conditions at the cell, pack, and BMS sub-system levels, as well as system-wide
• Use best-in-class tools and solvers to generate simulation models and results
• Develop optimized workflows and reusable templates for recurring thermal simulations
• Develop and implement thermal modeling best practices
• Collaborate with CAE vendors to drive functionality improvements
• Explore new analysis types and solutions, including topological optimization
• Extract Reduced Order Models (ROM) from CFD simulations to accelerate exploratory studies

Qualification:

Minimum Qualifications:

• MS/PhD + 3 years of industry experience
• Mechanical engineering background with a strong foundation in CFD and thermal modeling
• [MUST HAVE] Expert-level skillset in Ansys Electronics Desktop (AEDT) and ICEPAK within AEDT
