    • Knowledge of power electronics basics is a strong plus: – PFC, LLC, PSFB, Inverters
    • Experience with Fan/Blower selection, coolant loop design, and thermal resistance modelling.
    • Experience in validation of design.
    • Knowledge of heatsinks, fans and latest solution available in market

    Tools & Skills
    • CAD tools (SolidWorks, Creo, NX).
    • Meshing tools (ANSYS Mesher, SpaceClaim, SnappyHexMesh, etc.).
    • Python/MATLAB for automation (optional).

    Qualifications
    • B.E / B.Tech / M.E / M.Tech in Mechanical Engineering, Thermal Engineering or eqlt.
    • Experience Levels 6–10 years with 5+ yrs on Power Electronics converter cooling

    Preferred Experience
    • Thermal management of:

    – High-frequency Power converters

    – EV traction inverters

    – Onboard/offboard EV chargers

    – BESS power modules
    • Battery pack cooling design
