Within CFD you will be one out of three engineers who support designers with verification of cooling performance, interior climate, aerodynamic features and anything else that may need a CFD simulation.


We are looking for a lead simulation engineer with experience in 1D and 3D CFD simulations. In this position you will help designers develop the best design possible within the limitations available. Difficulties lie in considering low volume production, tough space requirements and time constraints. Your work will cover the whole simulation process from early design discussions, building models, simulating, presenting results, and supporting after tests. Some jobs are small and quick and some lasts for a year or two. You will be expected to collaborate, drive your own work, ask a lot of questions, and bring forward your ideas for product or method improvement.
