We are seeking a skilled Mechanical Design Engineer to join our Thermal Systems team. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in designing and developing thermal components such as heat exchangers, HVAC systems, plastic parts, and air ducting. You will play a key role in ensuring optimal thermal performance, efficiency, and durability of vehicle systems.
Key Responsibilities:
Design and develop thermal systems and components including HVAC modules, ducts, hoses, heat exchangers and related cooling components.
Perform thermal analysis and simulations to validate system performance under various operating conditions
Work on and design plastic and metal components, including material selection, design for manufacturability (DFM), and tooling considerations
Collaborate with cross-functional teams (CAE, manufacturing, suppliers) to optimize designs
Support, build and coordinate prototype builds, testing, and validation of thermal systems
Troubleshoot and resolve thermal performance issues during development and production phases
Ensure compliance with industry standards and regulatory requirements
Participate in design reviews and provide technical documentation
Release the designed parts as part of the design and development activities
Required Qualifications:
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
3+ years of experience in automotive thermal systems or related domain
Strong knowledge of HVAC systems, heat exchangers, and air duct design
Experience working with plastic components and injection molding processes
Proficiency in CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks)
Understanding of thermal and fluid dynamics principles
Experience with CAE tools for thermal analysis is a plus
Good problem-solving and analytical skills
Preferred Skills
Familiarity with automotive development cycles and standards
Knowledge of DFMEA, DVP&R, and validation processes
Experience working with suppliers and cross-functional global teams
Strong communication and teamwork abilities
