CFD & Thermals Simulation Engineer

you’ll be our:  CFD & Thermals Simulation Engineer

you’ll be based at: IBC Knowledge Park, Bengaluru

you’ll be aligned with: Team Lead - CFD & Thermal Simulation

you’ll be a member of: Simulation CoC

What you’ll do at Ather:

Ather Energy has proved itself to be the hallmark and the synonym for Smart,Connected and Intelligent Electric Vehicles in India. Today we are on a journey of exponential growth and marking our presence across the length and breadth of Indian roads. Continuing this journey further means massive ramping up of production and developing many more top-notch products to redefine and upgrade Customers’ Experience in India.

At Ather, we believe not just in creating products but in delivering a complete product experience to our customers. This is only possible by exploring non-conventional platforms and pushing the boundaries of engineering design. One such limiting factor is heat and hence thermal management plays a key role in ensuring the designs perform to their required specification and also remain safe during the operation. CFD and Thermal Simulations help play a very critical role in this process to ensure the design is optimized and potential failure modes are identified early in the product development cycle. We are looking for a CFD & Thermal Simulation Engineer who thinks from the first principles and can evaluate the thermal performance of various subsystems and provide insights to improve the same. As our CFD & Thermal Simulation Engineer, you’ll:

• Plan, set up and execute CFD simulations to support various programs for systems like battery pack, motor and motor drive, chargers and other electronic components.

• Interpret CFD/Thermal results to provide relevant insights on the flow and thermal phenomena under consideration.

• Provide technical support and contribute to the solution of fluid-thermal issues on the product.

• Develop simulation capabilities & correlation of simulation results with test data for 2-Wheeler EV systems.

• Develop scripts for automation and work towards improving simulation methodology to reduce time and increased accuracy.

• Prepare standard documents for CFD and Thermal simulation procedures and own reports for all simulation activity.

Here’s what we are looking for: 

• Good understanding in the theoretical and practical aspects of fluid flow and heat transfer.

• Strong understanding and experience in working with commercial CFD codes, preferably Star-CCM+ or Ansys Fluent.

• Demonstrated industrial or academic experience in addressing flow and thermal challenges on an automotive or electronics platform.

• Knowledge of CAE Process Automation through Python, Java or any other language will be an added advantage.

• A fair understanding of the various systems and subsystems in EV’s will be preferred.

You bring to Ather: 

• B.E/M.Tech/M.S. in Mechanical Engineering or any other relevant stream.

• Computational Fluid Dynamics and Thermal Simulation expertise with minimum 3-5 years of experience in an automotive/aerospace company.
