System Simulation Engineer

• The role will be hybrid to start with and expected to be in-office 5 days/ week in future.
• All interviews will be conducted in-person at the Windsor office.

Job Description

We are seeking a qualified candidate for the position of System Simulation Engineer within the Propulsion Virtual Thermal Management (VTM) team.

This role focuses on thermal management systems, including air-conditioning (A/C), engine, battery, and cabin cooling, using primarily one-dimensional simulation tools.

The candidate will be expected to independently execute 1D and coupled 1D-3D simulations, from data acquisition across various sources through to analysis and report generation.

The role requires close collaboration with system engineers to provide simulation-driven insights, numerical solutions, and recommendations for design improvements.

Required Qualifications

• Minimum 2 years of Solid Industrial experience using 1D simulation tools such as Amesim, GT-SUITE, Flowmaster, KULI, AVL Cruise, or MATLAB/Simulink for flow and thermal analysis
• Minimum 2 years of Industrial experience in applied CFD, using tools such as ANSA, STAR-CCM+, or TAITherm
• Master's degree in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with a focus on thermo-fluid systems
• Strong fundamentals in Fluid Mechanics, Thermodynamics, and Heat Transfer
• Good understanding of automotive systems and component functionality
• Ability to work effectively in cross-functional teams with a proactive mindset
• Not tutorial-based models or coursework/academic exercises presented as 1D experience.

Preferred Qualifications

• 3+ years of experience in vehicle or powertrain thermal management, including cooling systems, climate control, or thermal protection
• Experience in automotive HVAC and engine system design and development
• Experience with simulation integration and validation using Model-in-the-Loop (MiL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) setups
• Knowledge of advanced control algorithms, including classical and AI-based approaches
• Familiarity with CAD tools
• Experience with optimization techniques and Design of Experiments (DoE)
• Demonstrated capability in methodology development and technical problem solving
• Experience in controls modeling
• Experience with co-simulation frameworks, including:
  • o1D (MATLAB/Simulink)
  • o1D-3D (e.g., GT-TAITherm)
• Working knowledge of system bench testing, dynamometer testing, and vehicle test cells

Additional Requirements

• Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with experience presenting to senior stakeholders
• Strong team player with the ability to work independently
• Proven problem-solving skills
• High proficiency in Microsoft Office tools
