Role Overview

We are seeking a highly motivated Cooling System Engineer with 8+ years of automotive experience to support the development and delivery of advanced thermal management systems for both internal combustion engine (ICE) and electrified powertrain applications (MHEV/PHEV).

This role involves full lifecycle ownership from concept definition through to design, validation, and release, ensuring robust delivery aligned with premium vehicle performance, durability, and quality targets.

Key Responsibilities

- Lead the design and development of vehicle thermal systems, including radiators, condensers, charge air cooling, battery cooling circuits, and thermal integration of powertrain systems.

- Define and cascade system requirements, working cross-functionally with powertrain, vehicle attributes, CAE, and packaging teams.

- Deliver complete thermal system architectures for ICE and electrified platforms (PHEV/MHEV), including integration with HVAC, battery, and e-drive systems.

- Develop and maintain Design Verification Plans (DVP) and execute validation activities including test planning, data analysis, and reporting.

- Create, maintain and manage DFMEA documentation, including P-diagrams and boundary diagrams, ensuring design robustness and failure mitigation strategies.

- Work closely with suppliers to support component design, sourcing, and manufacturing feasibility, ensuring cost and quality targets are achieved.

- Support prototype builds,



validation events, and issue resolution, including root cause analysis and corrective actions.

- Ensure all components are released in line with programme gateways and client-specific release processes (AML standards).

- Provide technical support for in-service and warranty concerns, ensuring continuous improvement of system reliability.

Skills & Technical Competencies

- Strong understanding of vehicle thermal management and heat transfer principles, including ICE and electrified systems.

- Proficiency in Siemens NX (Unigraphics) for 3D modelling, packaging, and design release activities.

- Experience in DFMEA, & DVP&R; processes within automotive product development.

- Familiarity with PLM tools (Teamcenter) and engineering change/release processes (ECR/ECO).

- Knowledge of cooling system components such as radiators, pumps, valves, heat exchangers, and refrigerant circuits.

- Experience with hybrid and electric vehicle architectures, including battery thermal management and HV systems.

- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with the ability to interpret test data and simulation outputs.

Experience Required

- Minimum 8 years’ experience in automotive thermal system or thermal systems engineering.

- Proven experience delivering cooling systems from concept to production release.

- Experience working with OEM clients, ideally within a premium automotive workplace.

- Hands-on experience with prototype builds, testing, and validation programmes.
