About the job
Simulation Engineer (CFD & Multiphysics) – Automotive Domain
Position: Simulation Engineer – CFD & Multiphysics
Experience: 6–9 Years
Industry: Automotive / Electric Vehicles (EV) / Automotive R&D
Location: Bangalore
Employment Type: Full-Time
Job Summary
We are seeking an experienced Simulation Engineer specializing in Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) and Multiphysics Simulation to join our engineering team. The ideal candidate will possess strong expertise in CFD simulations for automotive applications, including thermal management, aerodynamics, under-hood airflow, HVAC, battery cooling systems, and electric propulsion systems.
In addition to CFD expertise, the candidate should have a solid understanding of electromagnetic systems such as electric motors, actuators, solenoids, coils, and magnetic circuits, including their interaction with thermal and mechanical domains.
This role requires much more than software proficiency. We are looking for an engineer who demonstrates a strong understanding of the underlying physics, can accurately represent real-world operating conditions within simulation models, and critically assess simulation results for practical engineering relevance. The successful candidate will work closely with cross-functional teams throughout the product development lifecycle and provide simulation-driven design recommendations.
Key Responsibilities
- Perform CFD and multiphysics simulations to evaluate and optimize automotive components and systems.
- Develop simulation methodologies for:
- Thermal management
- Vehicle aerodynamics
- Cooling systems
- Airflow analysis
- Battery thermal management
- Electric motor cooling
- Electromagnetic actuators and solenoid systems
- Build simulation models from engineering requirements and physical system understanding.
- Analyze real-world operating conditions, manufacturing constraints, material behavior, and environmental influences to create representative simulation models.
- Prepare simulation models, perform geometry cleanup, generate high-quality meshes, and define realistic boundary conditions.
- Execute steady-state and transient CFD analyses using ANSYS tools.
- Perform electromagnetic simulations and coupled thermal-electromagnetic analyses for:
- Electric motors
- Electromagnetic actuators
- Solenoids
- Coils
- Magnetic assemblies
- Interpret simulation results and provide engineering recommendations to improve product performance, efficiency, reliability, durability, and manufacturability.
- Correlate simulation results with laboratory testing, component validation, and vehicle-level measurements.
- Critically assess model assumptions, simplifications, and uncertainties to ensure engineering accuracy.
- Collaborate with design, testing, manufacturing, system engineering, and product development teams.
- Prepare technical reports, presentations, and design review documentation.
- Drive simulation process improvements and support automation initiatives using scripting tools.
- Mentor junior engineers and contribute to simulation best practices, standards, and methodologies.
Required Qualifications
- Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Physics, or a related discipline.
- 6–9 years of experience in CFD and engineering simulation within the automotive industry.
- Strong understanding of:
- Fluid Mechanics, Heat Transfer, Thermodynamics, Electromagnetics, Multiphysics Modeling
- Experience working on passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, electric vehicles, or powertrain systems.
Pay: ₹600,000.00 - ₹1,500,000.00 per year
