Working to develop and communicate technical design solutions to their respective Thermal Lead Engineers (LEs) and Functional Lead Engineers (FLs) and other relevant system groups (e.g. Design, Body, Powertrain). The successful candidate will also support the Thermal LEs/FLs with vehicle/rig test data and recommendations including technical reports and presentation as required. You will be expected to work closely with the Thermal LEs/FLs, the other members of the Vehicle Efficiency (VEff) group, Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) and Technical Specialists (TS) to support the whole Thermal team. The Thermal Management team is part of Thermal & Aerodynamic Systems Engineering (TASE), itself a subset of the Vehicle Efficiency group which consists of Aerodynamics & Aeroacoustics, Weights, Vehicle Efficiency Steering Team (VEST), Thermal Energy Management (TEM), and Electrical Energy Management (EEM). In conjunction with the Thermal LEs/FLs, the Thermal team is responsible for delivery of the Thermal Attribute across all vehicle programmes and the development of associated toolsets. The Thermal Attribute requirements primarily include the delivery of cooling airflow for the powertrain (internal combustion, hybrid and electric), driveline, battery system and brakes, and the management of the engine bay and under body thermal environment to ensure acceptable temperatures are maintained for all systems and components.
