+ Conduct advanced CFD simulations for **automotive powertrain and e-drive applications** .

+ Plan and coordinate **physical tests** to validate CFD methodologies.

+ Perform **correlation and refinement** of CFD results with physical test data.

+ Automate CFD workflows using **Python and Java scripting** .

+ Communicate findings through **clear presentations and technical reports** .

Required Skills & Experience

+ Minimum **3 years** of hands-on CFD modeling and method development in automotive or related industries.

+ Minimum **3 years** of experience in **two-phase flow modeling** (e.g., oil-air interaction, cooling sprays, cavitation).

+ Expertise in **STAR-CCM+** for simulation and method development.

+ Strong background in **turbulence modeling** (RANS, LES, DES).

+ Experience in **CFD-to-test correlation and validation** .

+ Proficiency in **CAD preparation and meshing** .

+ Scripting and automation using **Python and Java** .

+ Familiarity with **CAE tools** and **Teamcenter** .

Preferred Skills

+ Exposure to **cross-functional project support** in product development environments.

Education Requirements

+ **Required** : Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field.

+ **Preferred** : Master’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related field.

Why Join Us:

+ Opportunity to work on cutting-edge projects in a dynamic and innovative environment.

+ Collaborative and inclusive company culture.

+ Competitive salary and benefits package.

+ Professional development and growth opportunities.
