[VT2502] Thermal Energy Management Experiment Engineer (General Layer - General Manager/Staff)

Job Content

① Development area, business overview, and role/position within R&D of the affiliated organization

This job involves evaluating thermal management systems for batteries and powertrains in vehicles, systems, and HiLS (combination of actual equipment testing and virtual simulation) to achieve a balance of electric vehicle range, fuel efficiency, heating/cooling performance, charging/discharging performance, and reliability. The acquired data is then analyzed according to its intended use.

② Specific job duties and expected role/position within and outside your department

You will conduct experiments by selecting optimal measurement conditions, experimental equipment, and software, or by modifying existing assets, based on the system configuration, control logic, and experimental conditions of the target vehicle. The resulting data will be analyzed according to the needs of various related departments, such as battery design, refrigeration cycle (air conditioning) design, cooling water circuit design, and powertrain design for motors and inverters.

③ Workplace environment and working style (member composition, workplace atmosphere, characteristics)

This department is constantly challenging new experiments and technical issues by incorporating new technologies, not just past experience, to tackle the major challenge of vehicle electrification. It has members ranging from young to veteran, and there is an atmosphere where you can consult with various people when you are in trouble.

Appealing Points (Job Attractiveness)

① Self-growth, skills acquired, and job satisfaction through the work

You can directly feel how vehicle performance and structure improve by feeding back experimental results, and you can realize your contribution to manufacturing.

You can deepen your knowledge of thermal load, which is one of the fundamentals of automotive development.

You can experience the entire process from proposing equipment investment to introducing new experimental equipment.

Since there are many related departments and people, you can build a network with various individuals.

② Future career path and positions

You can specialize in thermal management experiments and aim to become an experimental expert in this field. Furthermore, since you can deepen your knowledge of thermal load, which is one of the fundamentals of automotive development, it is relatively easy to apply this knowledge to other fields such such as component design.
