Requirements
Candidates must possess a B.S., M.S., or Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Thermal Sciences, or a related field, coupled with at least 5 years of experience in battery thermal analysis, ideally within the aerospace, automotive, or energy sectors. Experience with battery systems, electric powertrains, or aerospace electrification industries is required, along with hands-on proficiency in thermal modeling and simulation tools like ANSYS Fluent, COMSOL, STAR-CCM+, MATLAB, or GT-SUITE.
Responsibilities
The Senior Battery Thermal Analyst will conduct detailed thermal analysis and simulations for battery cells, modules, and packs under various operating conditions. They will develop and optimize thermal models using CFD, FEA, and multi-physics tools, and design/execute thermal validation tests to correlate simulations with real-world performance. This role involves collaborating with cross-functional teams to define and validate thermal management solutions, performing thermal runaway modeling and safety assessments, and supporting certification efforts to ensure compliance with aviation safety standards.
