Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

We are looking for an automotive Hardware Design Engineer – Thermal Systems. If you’re the kind of person who sees a problem, develops a solution, and engineers an improvement no one’s asked for yet, then we want to talk with you!

Please note this position is for hardware design engineer, not a simulation engineer or thermal analyst. Candidates w/o prior mechanical design experience employing CAD will not be considered for this role.

The Role:

• Use engineering principles to design parts and assemblies and subsystems for automotive thermal system.
• Develop conceptual packaging models for various thermal components including heat exchangers, fans and blowers, fluid transfer lines, airflow channels, support brackets, etc.
• Integrate components into larger mechanical subsystems to reduce vehicle assembly part count and assembly time.
• Work with other engineering teams and suppliers to review design solutions and guide design changes, ensure packaging compliance (vehicle clearances) and various performance attributes like thermal, software compliance, NVH, mass are all met.
