Senior Thermal Systems Test Engineer focusing on testing and improving thermal systems for electric vehicles at Ford. Collaborating across engineering teams to innovate and deliver high-quality automotive solutions.
Responsibilities
Design and build thermal test assets spanning a range of size, scope and complexity: this could range from a simple coolant bench test to characterize a valve, to a partially completed refrigeration system with coolant and air loops, to a fully instrumented vehicle.
Automate / script HIL testers that can replicate boundary conditions, loads etc. felt by a thermal system across a wide range of possible scenarios.
Work with modeling engineers to validate predictions – propose tests based on prediction weaknesses, learn how to run the models themselves.
Collaborate closely with controls engineers to validate the SW and propose improvements.
Work closely with test and integration engineers to debug control algorithms at the bench and vehicle level.
Lead engineering test fleets – these may consist of bucks and/or vehicles.
Plan critical test campaigns – both at the wind tunnel and in the field.
Requirements
B.S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.
Foundational background in thermal systems (heat transfer, thermodynamics, fluid dynamics).
4+ years of experience using modeling tools of various scales (GT, Python, MATLAB/Simulink, Dymola, TAITherm or similar).
Experience with basic programming best practices (e.g., readable, re-usable code).
Experience working with high voltage powertrain and thermal systems
Experience diagnosing and repairing HVAC components and systems
Safe management of glycol, AC refrigerant, and oil-based liquids and gases
Knowledge of thermal and fluid measurement sensor installation and calibration
Experience with data acquisition systems and related sensors
Can interpret and create wiring diagrams for test fixture construction
Even better, you may have...
Graduate Degree in Mechanical Engineering with a focus on thermal engineering or energy systems.
Real-world product development experience using tests to design, validate and continuously improve a thermal system used by customers every day.
Deep experience with refrigeration systems (compressors, heat exchangers, valves, sensors, charge and oil management) applied to automotive products.
Deep experience with HVAC design (hardware, control strategies, energy flows within the cabin, glass properties).
Experience modeling non-linear flow/energy circuits with first principles.
Familiarity with battery, motor/inverter and electronics thermal/electrical models.
Familiarity using 3D CAD software collaboratively (NX, Catia, 3DX).
Proficiency using collaborative work tracking tools such as JIRA, Confluence and GitHub
Testing/laboratory experience with refrigeration loops, coolant and air circuits.
An eagerness to work cross-functionally in a dynamic environment where you are part of a high performing team.
A system approach to design and development with the desire and curiosity to strive for exceptional delivery execution and continuous improvement.
Experience with controls methods for automotive thermal systems
