Entwicklungsingenieur / CFD-Simulation Batterie (m/w/d)

As a CFD engineer, your role entails performing calculations from both component and system perspectives, with the aim of understanding issues related to lifespan, performance, and safety. You will work closely with designers, testing engineers, and various teams, driving development work from concept to finished product. Your tasks may include:

• Communicating and distributing your results orally and in writing in both large and small forums.
• Comparing and correlating calculation results with physical testing, and providing conclusions that guide the team.
• Continuously evaluating the possibility of better accuracy and calculation time based on new test data and software, as well as process improvements, driving method development together with your team and/or external suppliers.
• Supporting CFD calculations in the area of traction batteries with a focus on thermal conditioning to increase performance.
• Optimizing components based on test and calculation results to improve the battery's service life, efficiency, and performance.
• Supporting component validation using simulation.
• Coordinating between simulation, testing, and design.

• Commitment to your work and the team's common path towards the goal.
• Self-sufficiency and decision-making capabilities while appreciating team contributions and openly utilizing colleagues' experience.
• Ability to quickly learn from both personal and others' experiences, and see everyday challenges as integral to your development.
• Good understanding of applying knowledge and modifying models to address current project issues.
• Structured work approach with the ability to dive into deep analyses without losing focus on project deliveries.
• In addition to these qualities, you should have:
• Degree in engineering in mechanics, technical physics, electrical engineering, energy engineering, or similar fields with a focus on electromobility or mechatronics.
• Experience in performing CFD calculations, particularly solving kinetic and thermal problems, and a combination of these.
• In-depth knowledge of the calculation of thermodynamic processes.
• Relevant experience in 3D CFD with common CFD processors, preferably Ansa and Siemens Star CCM+.
• Very good theoretical and practical knowledge of the components of electrified powertrain systems, especially the design of traction battery systems.
• Advanced German as well as English skills required for international cooperation.
