Thermal 1D Vddv Engineer

• Execute 1D thermal system simulations to support vehicle thermal sizing, development, and virtual validation
• Support design decisions through technical influence and data‑based 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 “all‑virtual” development approach
• Contribute to capability growth in areas such as model robustness, modularization, optimization, and data‑driven 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
• Serve as a technical resource within the VTM‑1D thermal VDDV team while continuing to learn from senior subject‑matter experts

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in Engineering
• 2+ years of experience in powertrain cooling or A/C system analysis
• 1D thermal system modeling experience
• Strong understanding of thermal systems and components, including performance integration and model assumptions/limitations
• Demonstrated ability to independently resolve routine technical problems within established engineering frameworks
• Proficiency with GT‑Power, MATLAB, and related system modeling tools
• DFSS Black Belt certification
• Strong interpersonal and communication skills with the ability to collaborate effectively across functions
