## Description

* Build high-fidelity computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and transient thermal modeling strategies across multiple physical scales, spanning from micro-scale electrochemical cell fields to macro-scale containerized systems.
 * Validate and anchor numerical physics-based models against empirical data, collaborating with test and instrumentation teams to close the gap between simulation and physical testing.
 * Support the development of automated simulation and optimization workflows to systematically evaluate fluid routing, pressure drops, and cooling loop efficiencies.
 * Partner with electrochemical, mechanical, and power electronics teams to resolve complex, multi-factor thermal-fluid anomalies during product integration.
 * Suggest and exercise judgment in selecting simulation methodologies, mesh structures, and boundary condition assumptions to proactively identify hot spots and thermal risks.
 * Drive the standardization of internal modeling workflows and establish rigorous peer design reviews to ensure technical simulation excellence.
 * Model initiative by identifying limitations in our physics-based toolsets and building customized, robust tools to eliminate engineering development blocks.
