With a creative and analytical mind, the CAE engineer will use key insights to detect potential thermal inefficiency + issues and frame new opportunities, design optimization, and guide under-hood/body component design for our vehicle in development.. Lead and perform full vehicle transient thermal CAE models from start to finish (CAD data collection, clean up, meshing, boundary conditions setup and post-processing). Assist front-end opening and grill design optimization to meet vehicle airflow and performance targets throughout vehicle development phases. Communicate and work closely with the Aerodynamics engineer to optimize design and balance between Thermal and Aerodynamics. You may not check every box, or your experience may look a little different from what we've outlined, but if you think you can bring value to Ford Motor Company, we encourage you to apply!
