ABOUT THE POSITION

As a thermal Engineer, you will:

•Be part of Battery energy storage new enclosure R&D team.

•Will closely work with New Product development team, engineers from non-mechanical domain, program managers, product manager, requisition team and other stakeholders.

•Perform concept and detailed Design & calculations using cutting edge tools and prepare procurement specifications for cooling System (Coolant piping, accessories and layout, cooling components such as Chiller and HVAC, refrigerant and glycol-based liquid coolants)

•Interreact with supplier and develop the robust, reliable, safe, cost effective & high-quality closed loop cooling system for battery & electronic component cooling.

•Ensure product design standards are adhered to common international standards, such as NFPA/ASME/ANSI/ISO/ASHARE

•Identify risk & opportunities and deliver the creative solutions.

•Responsible for the timely releases of the engineering documents for cooling system design.

•Be involved in root cause analysis (5 Why’s, fishbone, DFMEA etc…) when a problem statement is raised inside engineering.

•Manage non-conformity reports, supplier deviation requests of cooling system.

•Lead, manage and own the component interfaces with other engineering cross-functions.
