Thermal Simulation Engineer
Role Overview
Responsible for predicting and optimizing the thermal performance of products and systems through advanced simulation and analysis techniques. This role collaborates closely with cross-functional teams, including design, mechanical, electrical, and system engineers, to understand product requirements, evaluate thermal risks, and deliver accurate simulation-driven insights that guide design decisions. The engineer is accountable for ensuring timely, high-quality analysis, validating simulation models against physical test data, and developing innovative thermal solutions that improve product reliability, performance, and sustainability.
Key Responsibilities
• Perform advanced simulations using ANSYS tools (Electromagnetic, fluid and thermal)
• Develop high fidelity 3D models, material definitions and boundary conditions for accurate simulation results
• Conduct root cause analysis for failures and replicate the same in simulations, and find solutions for the failures
• Interpret, validate and document the simulation outcomes, and provide a clear actionable recommendation to the design team
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (Design, Lab, Quality) to understand and drive simulation needs in making decisions
• Own simulation deliverables
• Validate results with test data
• Support design optimization and digital twin initiatives
• Document all the assumptions with respect to design and boundary conditions in Simulation Reports.
Technical Skills: -
• Strong understanding of Basic Heat Transfer concepts and Fluid Dynamics.
• Proficient in ANSYS tools including ANSYS AEDT/Icepak/Fluent, Maxwell, and SpaceClaim
• Strong analytical and system-level problem-solving skills
• Good understanding of fundamental design principles and applications
• Basic proficiency in Creo or other CAD software
• Strong communication skills
• Added advantage: familiarity with electrical products such as breakers, switchboards, and related equipment
Soft Skills / Project Management: -
• Decompose projects into well-defined work packages and activities, aligned with the scope and complexity of the analysis.
• Plan, prioritize, and sequence analysis activities to ensure timely completion of milestones and final project deliverables.
• Lead and control analysis execution, ensuring technical accuracy, quality, and adherence to defined standards.
• Track project status and provide regular progress reports against defined requirements.
• Perform technical verification and quality assessment of analysis results to ensure compliance with internal and customer standards.
• Identify, assess, and manage technical and project risks, including tracking risk mitigation actions and evaluating their effectiveness.
• Ensure continuous compliance with Quality of Delivery assessment criteria throughout the project lifecycle.
• Generate and present clear, structured status and progress updates aligned with customer and Project Technical Leader expectations.
• Proactively gather and incorporate customer feedback to improve quality and delivery performance. Communicate effectively through strong written and verbal skills to support collaboration with customers and cross-functional teams.
