Thermal Engineer- Functional Testing

Thermal Engineer; Functional Testing is responsible for total vehicle thermal management system validation and verification for passenger, powertrain, power electronics & energy storage system. The Engineer will work with system engineers, component development engineers, and suppliers to validate and verify a total vehicle thermal management system to become the benchmark of automotive industry. The main role of Thermal Engineer; Functional Testing is to build in-house validation capability and lead component, system and vehicle level validation activities.to resolve issue and optimize thermal system for weight/cost while satisfying program milestones.

Responsibilities

• Lead validation and verification for an automotive thermal system and its component at component, system and vehicle level
• Build in-house test capability by development of DAQ system strategy, airflow test stands, system calorimeter chamber and climatic wind tunnel.
• Development of DVP&R for vehicle thermal component, system and vehicle level.
• Lead vehicle climatic wind tunnel test and field test.
• Benchmark competitive thermal components, to define functional target and engineering specifications
• Responsibility for data instrumentation, collection, analysis and management.
• Coordinate and conduct hardware testing in the lab to verify and validate thermal management system hardware functionality and reliability
• Prepare and present test reports and results to cross-functional teams and executive leadership
• Responsible for meeting vehicle development milestones.
• Provide input in the creation of component specification, component DFMEA, and other technical design documents where analysis plays a central role.
• Assist in the development of comprehensive design verification and validation activities, including writing test procedures, environmental testing fixtures and data acquisition systems
• Present to various levels of management with different depth of expertise
