The
Senior Aerothermal Engineer
will play a vital role in developing Heat Management and HVAC Systems for high-performance road vehicles. This hybrid role requires 2-3 days per week on-site in Woking, combining 1D simulation, CFD, and vehicle testing to meet design specifications and ensure optimal system performance. Key Responsibilities Lead Heat Management and HVAC Systems development from functional specification to programme sign-off, ensuring attribute, timing, and investment targets are met. Utilise 1D simulation, CFD, and vehicle testing to design and optimise HVAC and heat management systems, achieving targets for glass defrost, passenger comfort, and engine bay temperature management. Define and develop HVAC software control strategies, performing calibration and certification through rig and vehicle testing. Communicate design progress and critical issues to programme management and lead reviews with Attribute, Styling, and Design teams to ensure targets are met. Define and deliver the attribute Design Verification Plan (DVP) in collaboration with Vehicle Development and the Vehicle Validation Coordinator. Continuously improve Aerothermal testing methodologies to reduce development times, enhance test data accuracy, and improve tool correlation, supporting cross-functional integration. Knowledge, Skills, and Experience Ideally a degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related scientific discipline. Strong understanding of heat transfer and fluid mechanics fundamentals. Proven analytical abilities with 1D systems modelling tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, or AMESim. Expert knowledge of CFD techniques, particularly for modelling conjugate heat transfer and buoyancy-driven flows (STAR-CCM+ preferred). Experience with climatic and mule vehicle testing, including measurement and calibration methods (CANape experience advantageous). Familiarity with freeform surfacing tools such as CATIA V5 is beneficial but not essential. Personal Attributes A rigorous, quantitative approach and an inquisitive mindset to validate design solutions. Strong verbal and written communication skills. Self-motivated and capable of working independently with minimal supervision. A commitment to precision and continuous improvement in a high-performance environment.
