Job Description

ESSENTIAL DUTIES AND RESPONSIBILITIES :

• Translate model outputs (duty, flow, ΔT, ΔP, fan / pump curves) into hardware choices for the blower, radiator, condenser, evaporator, reservoir, pumps, valves, and line sizes
• Architect the system : single vs dual loop, degas and reservoir strategy, fill / bleed points, hose / line routing, quick-connects, brackets, and service access
• Build parametric NX assemblies, drawings, and mounting schemes; release parts / assemblies in Teamcenter (TC)

• Drive supplier sourcing, DFM / DFA, and should-cost / quote reviews; align cost with performance targets
• Run quick checks (hand calcs or simple spreadsheets) to sanity-check model recommendations and guide iterations
• Define sensor set and control needs (fan maps, pump control, compressor requests) with software / controls
• Write DVP&R and test plans (cool-down, defrost / defog, hill climbs, hot / cold soak, splash / dust); use test data to confirm model predictions and update the design
• Support prototype builds (Alpha / Beta / DV / PV); troubleshoot bleed, noise, vibration, and routing issues; close actions with clear root-cause notes
