## Description

The Ford Global Electrified Propulsion Engineering Team is a growing team committed to envisioning and creating simple, thoughtful, enjoyable and compelling product experiences that continually inspire our teams and customers to go further.

As a High Voltage Battery Thermal CAE Engineer, you will perform 1D and 3D thermal/CFD analysis simulations on system, subsystem and component level high voltage battery packs using commercial CAE/CFD software to meet battery unit and vehicle development timing.

Responsibilities:

- Perform thermal simulations and post-process results to guide battery design.

- Analyze and process vehicle and lab thermal test data from battery physical thermal testing and apply it to correlate CAE models.

- Determine loading and boundary conditions for thermal CAE/CFD models based on vehicle and lab physical testing conditions.

- Work with testing and battery D&R engineers to specify thermal testing and instrumentation of HV battery packs for CAE correlation and physical test reduction.

- Lead CAE-testing interactions and apply CAE thermal tools to support testing teams, test reduction efforts and virtual test signoff.

Qualifications:

- B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent degree; M.S., degree is preferred.

- 2+ years minimum experience in thermal analysis 1D and 3D thermal / CFD simulation techniques.

- 2 years minimum working experience in thermal analysis supporting product development.

- Expert knowledge of heat transfer theory and CAE thermal analysis simulation methods.

- Physical thermal testing experience preferred, including thermal test data processing.

- Working knowledge of Computed Aided Engineering (CAE) software tools for heat transfer analysis, such as StarCCM+ and CAE model building software tools such as Ansa and Hypermesh.

- Working experience in CAD geometry cleanup for CAE, simulation model building and meshing, CAE model setup, model running and post-processing. Knowledge of scripting languages preferred.

- Working knowledge or experience of HV battery pack design and manufacturing process preferred.

Benefits:

- Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

- Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

- Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more

- Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

- Tuition assistance

- Established and active employee resource groups

- Paid time off for individual and team community service

- A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day

- Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.

This position is a salary grade 5 to salary grade 8. Salary grade 5 ranges from $65,100-$109,300; salary grade 6 ranges from $74,300-$124,500; salary grade 7 ranges from $86,600-$144,900; salary grade 8 ranges from $99,100-$166,200.
