Job Description

Job title:

In this role, you have the opportunity to lead mechanical and fluid simulation activities to support cooling unit and pump system design, enable root cause identification of field issues, and improve product reliability through simulation-driven engineering decisions.

Your role:

Design Simulation

• Define simulation scope and methodology for cooling unit and pump system (CFD / thermal / flow / structural where applicable)

• Build and maintain simulation models to support product design and architecture decisions

• Perform simulation-based trade-off analysis (performance vs reliability vs cost)

Problem Solving

• Support and lead simulation-driven root cause analysis for cooling unit / pump field issues

• Correlate simulation results with field failure data and test results

• Provide clear technical conclusions to support CAPA definition

Methodology and Model Reliability

• Establish and improve simulation methodology and modeling standards

• Drive correlation between simulation and test results (accuracy improvement)

• Identify modeling gaps and continuously improve prediction capability

Support system level verification

• Support definition of validation strategy by predicting risk scenarios

• Identify critical stress / boundary conditions through simulation

• Work with testing team to refine test conditions and improve efficiency

Quality and Design Process

• Support design assurance and compliance activities through simulation evidence

• Contribute to FMEA by providing simulation-based risk inputs

• Ensure traceability of simulation assumptions and results

Cross team and supplier support

• Collaborate with CU design, generator, and system teams to align simulation assumptions

• Support supplier technical discussions (especially pump performance & limitations)

• Provide simulation insights to support supplier issue resolution

You're the right fit if:

Education & Core Expertise

• Master or PhD in Mechanical Engineering / Thermal Engineering / Fluid Mechanics or related

• Strong fundamentals in fluid dynamics, heat transfer, and mechanical behavior

Simulation Expertise

• Hands-on experience in CFD simulation (ANSYS Fluent / CFX / COMSOL etc.)

• Experience with pump / flow / cooling system simulation preferred

• Ability to build and simplify models based on engineering judgment

Engineering Application

• Ability to correlate simulation results with test and field data

• Experience supporting design decisions using simulation

• Understanding of cooling unit or pump system is a strong plus

Tools

• CFD tools: ANSYS Fluent / CFX / COMSOL

• Mechanical tools: ANSYS / ABAQUS (basic structural understanding)

• Data post-processing and analysis capability

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and problem-solving mindset

• Ability to translate simulation results into clear engineering conclusions

• Proactive communication with cross-functional teams

• Ownership and ability to drive topics independently
