Thermal Architect

Come join the Stellantis Energy Management & Aero-Thermal (EMAT) team where we are committed to doing what is best for our customers. Be a part of a team filled with bright, resourceful, and determined employees who will lead Stellantis' development and delivery of efficiency, performance, drivability, total vehicle weight, thermal performance, and aerodynamics. We will play a part in all levels of the development cycle for vehicles at Stellantis.

We are looking for people who thrive in a fast-paced environment, deliver as a way of life, and are inspired to make a positive impact on the company. Team members are expected to establish effective working relationships, founded on trust and transparency, with our internal and external partners. Sound engineering judgment, excellent communication skills, the ability to influence change, and the ability to drive decisions are a must.

The Thermal Architect will be responsible for designing the platform thermal architecture that will meet cooling, climate control, and thermal system energy efficiency requirements for all top hats on the platform. This includes using the appropriate duty cycles to be considered for each top hat on the platform to provide requirements to the component release teams for sizing the individual thermal system components that will meet all vehicle functional requirements.

The thermal architect will work with software architects and thermal calibrators to ensure the required controls are in place to operate the thermal system in the most efficient manner while meeting customer expectations for thermal performance and cabin comfort. The thermal architect will also be responsible for coordinating simulations / vehicle testing to ensure performance and efficiency metrics are met.

The selected candidate will coordinate integration meetings with all affected stakeholders and ensure the EMAT Project Performance Lead (PPL) is kept abreast of each program’s status and any issues as they arise.
