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 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 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
Robust 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




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 with co-simulation frameworks, including:
1D (MATLAB/Simulink)
1D–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
