About the role
• Conduct battery thermal CFD analysis at cell, module, and pack levels to support early design decisions, concept evaluations, and verification of battery systems and thermal management strategies.
• Develop 3D Conjugate Heat Transfer (CHT) CFD models using ANSA/ SPACECLAIM / 3D CAD in STAR CCM+.
• Execute 3D-CFD simulations, including setup, solving, and advanced post-processing, leveraging Python scripting within STAR-CCM+.
• Effectively communicate finding of simulation to global counterpart / project teams using appropriate technical documentation and presentation media.
• Ensure strict adherence to simulation quality standards, best practices, and thorough documentation of methodologies, assumptions, and workflows
• 3+ years of hands-on experience in thermal CFD simulation of battery systems (cell, module, pack).
• Strong proficiency in STAR-CCM+ and experience with CFD optimization tools.
• Demonstrated capability in result plausibility assessment, bug identification, and solver troubleshooting.
• Strong technical knowledge of battery thermal management technique, along with a strong understanding of thermal runaway, propagation mechanisms, and related testing methodologies.
Good to Have:
•Exposure to CFD automation frameworks and simulation assistants.
• Exposure to program management tools such as Jira and Kanban boards
• Experience in commercial vehicle programs with OEMs
