Thermal Systems Design Engineer

Responsibilities

• Own the design of thermal systems for my client’s product range
• Validate and assess results against real-world constraints and draw sound conclusions
• Guide junior CAE Engineers, Designers and Systems Engineers during the design phase for optimised solutions based on thermal and pressure drop results
• Analysis and optimisation of complete/sealed liquid cooling systems including major loss contributors and heat dissipators
• Specification of pumps for coolant flows and required airflow to support liquid/air heat exchangers
• Specification of heat exchangers based on cooling requirements and fluid flow rates
• Liaise with key suppliers and customers on design and development issues

Requirements

• Degree or equivalent in a degree related to thermal engineering
• Practical knowledge in the design, use, and application of electric machines or rotational/complex components
• Experience with finite element analysis methods e.g. CFD and programs e.g. ANSYS Fluent
• Self-sufficient and able to work with minimal managerial input
• Confident dealing with customers and suppliers, able to detail requirements and understand issues

My client, an innovative company at the forefront of electric motor technology, requires a Thermal Systems Design Engineer for a contract role outside IR35.

This is a hybrid working role.

The Senior Thermal Systems Design Engineer will deliver the design of thermal systems for new products, including motors, electronic units and EPUs, based on the combined evaluation of thermodynamics, fluid mechanics, and heat transfer.

You will be responsible for the design and development of new concepts to optimise EPU performance and durability, along with overseeing physical testing required to verify CAE analyses and provide data to support conclusions.
