 + Model airflow and cooling performance, analyze component temperatures, and assess system-level thermal risks using Simcenter Flotherm.
 + Establish supplier specifications and technical requirements to support thermal design execution, validation, and production support.
 + Collaborate with internal engineering teams, mechanical and electrical engineering partners, system architects, and global supply-chain stakeholders to translate requirements into reliable, manufacturable solutions.
 + Engage directly with customers to understand technical and business needs, then present recommendations and simulation findings to technical and nontechnical audiences.
