Thermal System Engineer – eAxle & eMachine

As Thermal System Engineer for eMachine & eAxle, you will be responsible for developing and optimizing thermal system concepts that ensure the performance, reliability, and cost-effectiveness of electric powertrain systems. You will combine simulation, testing, and cross-functional collaboration while working closely with experts from electric machine, gearbox, power electronics, and software domains to support the successful development and validation of eMobility solutions.
Your Tasks
Act as a thermal system responsible for eMachine and eAxle, ensuring optimal thermal system performance and cost-competitiveness across platform and customer projects
Develop & evaluate eMachine layouts and eAxle thermal system concepts in collaboration with cross-functional teams
Perform system-level thermal simulations and predict thermal behavior of eAxle and eMachine components
Plan, define, and conduct thermal measurements, including analysis and interpretation of results, support validation process
Development & continuous improvement of thermal system simulation models. Ensure alignment between simulation and measurement data
Serve as the main interface for thermal topics between key domains (electric machine, gearbox, power electronics) and towards internals/external stakeholders
Support project teams as a core contributor, taking responsibility for thermal system related deliverables (e.g. requirement evaluation, customer communication, presentation of technical results towards the project, general support in thermal system related questions)
Support software-related topics at system level, with basic understanding of control strategies, thermal management functions, and calibration logic
Your Profile
