Thermal Engineer

Larsen & Toubro

The Role

Overview

Design and simulate thermal management systems for battery cells and packs.

Key Responsibilities

  • thermal design
  • 1d modeling
  • battery assembly
  • system optimization
  • fea simulation
  • cfd simulation

Tasks

-Provide expert thermal management system designs and guidance to facilitate the development of Lead acid, Li-Ion, Super Capacitor battery cells and battery packs -Use 1D systems modeling for early product design planning -Assist in the assembly and test of battery systems or prototypes -Optimize the system design to balance cost, performance, mass, volume and thermal efficiency -Provide knowledge for defining and executing FEA simulations to validate battery design concepts regarding mechanical robustness -Provide technical guidance to cross functional teams as needed -Provide CFD (Computational Fluid Dynamics) and thermal simulations to predict the performance of the temperature distribution within the cells and battery systems and establish operating ranges and key design parameters

Requirements
