Thermoelectric and Electrical Simulation Engineer

What awaits you/ Job Profile

To strengthen our team at BTI, we are looking for an experienced Simulation Engineer (m/f/d) with a focus on thermoelectric and electrical simulations. You will independently manage the entire simulation process, from model preparation and calculation through to evaluation and technical documentation. A key part of the role is automating simulation workflows in order to assess a large number of variants quickly and reliably.

Your Responsibilities

• Independently perform thermoelectric and electrical simulations using Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and ANSYS

• Develop, standardize, and automate simulation workflows to efficiently process numerous calculation variants

• Prepare models, including the definition of contacts, boundary and initial conditions, and material properties

• Perform physics-based evaluation, plausibility checks, and interpretation of simulation results

• Prepare clear and meaningful technical reports and present the results

• Coordinate with specialist departments and project partners in an international environment

What should you bring along

• A completed degree in engineering (e.g. electrical engineering or mechanical engineering), physics, or a comparable discipline

• Sound theoretical understanding of the underlying physics, particularly thermoelectrics: coupled electrical-thermal phenomena, heat transfer, contact modeling, and material properties

• Several years of practical experience with Simcenter STAR-CCM+ and ANSYS in the field of thermal and electrical simulation

• Experience in automating simulations, for example using Java macros (STAR-CCM+) or Python scripting

• A fast, structured, and independent way of working with a strong commitment to quality

• Fluent written and spoken English Desirable

• Experience in the automotive environment, for example with high-voltage components, battery systems, or power electronics • Experience in correlating simulation results with test data
