Engineer

Utilize analytical techniques to develop and validate cooling system designs considering performance and under-HOOD temperatures. Develop cooling system specifications. Generate multiple cooling system concepts and maintain analytical master models with accountability to make sure cooling systems meet performance specifications. Size and select heat exchangers and fans via 1D analysis program similar to KULI. Determine water circuit configuration including pump sizing, flow split balancing, and pressure drop assessment using 1D analysis programs. Collaborate with design partners to meet ambient temperature capability, fan power and noise requirements. Develop models to understand air flow through cooling packages. Develop under-HOOD thermal models to predict component temperatures and effects on cooling package air flow. Participate in cooling/airflow tests and correlate analysis models. Perform analysis to assist in resolving cooling related field problems. Work to continuously improve the accuracy and efficiency of cooling analysis processes and tools.
