Design Release Engineer - Cooling Systems

The Cooling System Design and development Engineer is responsible for sizing and development and releasing Cooling systems on multiple programs which involves sizing cooling system based on cooling requirements, requiring deep understanding of fluid dynamics models and integrating the models with other inputs and outputs from and to other models (CFD and 1D) to populate source packages and communicating detailed specifications to other groups who rely on these inputs to build the vehicle model. Sizing the cooling components correctly and accurately is one of the keys to ensure adequate cooling which directly impacts vehicle functional objectives. This role also requires a good understanding of electrical circuit, motors and the interface to the aerodynamic model of the fan. Responsibilities Include: Lead the end-to-end design, development, validation, and release of various cooling components, ensuring they are properly integrated and meet all functional objectives both at componentCollaborate closely with cross-functional teams to ensure that cooling components meet performance, safety, and quality standards, while contributing to the overall vehicle objectives.Create, maintain, and manage the Design Verification Plan & Report (DVP&R) and Design Failure Modes and Effects Analysis (DFMEA) documents for cooling components, ensuring comprehensive validation and risk management.Drive the achievement of program timing milestones by effectively coordinating tasks, resources, and activities within the project timeline.Apply Advanced Product Quality Planning (APQP) principles to guide the development process and ensure robust product launches.Utilize Computer-Aided Engineering (CAE) tools to conduct simulations and analyses, optimizing component designs for efficiency and performance.Leverage expertise in software tools including KULI, STAR CCM, CATIA V5, Unigraphics NX, Vis Mockup, and TeamCenter to design, visualize, and communicate component designs effectively.Apply Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) methodologies to enhance the quality, reliability, and performance of cooling system components.Take ownership of managing the suppliers, ensuring their alignment with technical requirements, project goals and delivery of high-quality components and root causing issues when they arise.Collaborate with manufacturing, testing, and quality teams to seamlessly integrate cooling components into the vehicle architecture. Basic Qualifications: Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related degree field1 or more years of experience in automotive engineering, with a focus on designing and releasing cooling system components for electrified vehiclesStrong understanding of cooling system components, such as heat exchangers, electric motor driven fan modules, engine driven fans and clutchesStrong understanding of electrical circuits, electric motorsStrong understanding of fluid dynamics and thermodynamicsStrong understanding of NVHProficiency in using CATIA V5 and/or Unigraphics NX for component design and modelingExperience with Vis Mockup and Teamcenter for collaborative design and visualization Preferred Qualifications: Master of Science Degree in EngineeringProficiency in CFD, FEA and 1D thermal models (gt-suite, Kuli) tools.
