Thermal Simulation Engineer

As a Thermal Simulation Engineer in the Aerospace and Aviation industry, you will be responsible for leading the design and analysis of thermal systems for an eVTOL platform. Your primary focus will be on developing thermal models for subsystems such as battery cooling, propulsion thermal management, avionics heat dissipation, HVAC, and structural thermal analysis. Collaboration with the Aerodynamics team for CFD analysis of external and internal flows will be a crucial aspect of your role. Your key responsibilities will include developing and managing thermal models using STAR-CCM+, conducting steady-state and transient thermal simulations for various subsystems, performing CFD analyses for aerodynamics and duct flows, optimizing components like cooling loops and heat exchangers, and collaborating cross-functionally to define thermal requirements. You will also be expected to automate simulation tasks using scripting languages like Java or Python, provide thermal insights for design reviews and certification processes, and stay updated on industry methodologies. To qualify for this role, you should hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical, Aerospace, or Thermal Engineering, along with at least 3 years of experience in thermal/CFD simulation within the aerospace or related industries. Proficiency in heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics, and STAR-CCM+ is essential, as well as experience in battery, motor, and electronics thermal management. An understanding of aerodynamics, CFD principles, and the ability to work with certification standards like DO-160, FAA, and EASA would be advantageous. If you have experience with eVTOL, UAVs, or electric aircraft, it would be considered a plus. Knowledge of multi-physics simulation and test-simulation correlation is also preferred for this role. This is a full-time, permanent on-site position based in Bengaluru, where you will play a key role in advancing thermal simulation capabilities for cutting-edge aviation technology.,
