Propulsion Systems VTM, Thermal Mgmt Simulation & Analysis Engineer

About the role

The candidate will develop vehicle thermal systems virtually, focusing on powertrain cooling, HVAC performance, and cabin comfort. This includes 1D thermal simulation, control strategy modeling, and system integration across multiple platforms. The engineer will support the hardware team in component sizing (heat exchangers, fans, compressors), run transient simulations, and collaborate with physical testing teams to validate and correlate models.

Responsibilities

• Use and develop proprietary models to size vehicle thermal systems.
• Integrate basic control logics of thermal actuators.
• Create and use pre-processing and post-processing tools; provide support to program management.
• Compare model results with test data and correlate the model accordingly.
• Communicate results in oral presentations and written reports to Chief Engineers, COEs, Component Engineers, and Powertrain management.
• Standardize simulation methods and provide technical mentoring.
• Report to global engineering teams.

Requirements

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering (Mechanical, Automotive, Aerospace, Applied Physics, or related field).
• Minimum 5 years of experience in product development, preferably in the automotive area, simulating hybrid and/or electrified propulsion systems.
• Thorough knowledge of Microsoft or Google office products.

Skills

• Advanced proficiency in 1D CFD simulation and control system modeling (GT Suite, Amesim, MATLAB/Simulink).
• Deep understanding of 3D CFD analysis (STAR CCM).
• Deep understanding of vehicle thermal management and cabin comfort.
• Deep understanding of powertrain cooling for BEV, xEV, and ICE vehicles.
• Strong background in heat transfer, thermodynamics, and transient system analysis.
• Virtual engineering experience.
• Method development and validation for system-level simulation.
• Involvement in physical testing and model correlation.
• Effective communication and reporting to global engineering stakeholders.

Benefits

• Comprehensive Health & Well-being Coverage: Medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug coverage from day one, plus an Employee Assistance Program (EAP) for personal and professional support.
• Family Building Benefits: Support for fertility and infertility treatments, adoption services, and gestational surrogacy.
• Generous Paid Time Off: 17+ paid holidays (including year-end shutdown from December 24th to New Year’s Day), vacation, float & wellbeing days, sick time, and fully paid parental leave.
• Competitive Retirement Savings Plans: Employer match on 401k, Roth, and Catch-Up contributions, plus an employer contribution even if you don’t contribute.
• Income Protection & Insurance Options: Employer-provided and voluntary plans, including life insurance, group accident, and critical illness coverage.
• Company Vehicle Lease Program: Eligible employees and immediate family can lease Stellantis vehicles with insurance, maintenance, and unlimited miles included, plus exclusive discounts on Stellantis products.
• Support for Growth and Giving Back: Tuition reimbursement, student loan refinancing programs, and 18 paid volunteer hours annually.
