1. Thermal system engineering, simulation and testing
- Define thermal requirements and target values for HV battery thermal KPIs at cell, module, pack and vehicle level
- Develop and assess thermal concepts using simulation methods and engineering judgement for relevant operating and environmental scenarios
- Plan, evaluate and correlate simulation results with battery and vehicle level test data, and derive robust improvement measures
- Monitor requirement fulfillment, steer issue investigation and root-cause analysis for thermal deviations and performance risks
- Collaborate with related departments in China and Germany and support the project team on thermal system related topics
2. Thermal design proposal and supplier steering
- Define and review thermal path design proposals for cooling plates, interfaces, flow paths and thermal countermeasures together with suppliers and engineering partners
- Steer suppliers and engineering service providers for simulation models, design maturity, testing scope and validation deliverables
- Track implementation status, evaluate technical results and ensure closure of thermal risks and open points
- Create and maintain the necessary technical documentation for development decisions and validation evidence
3. Internal coordination and validation alignment
- Align thermal requirements, simulation assumptions, test scope and validation criteria with relevant RD China and RD Germany stakeholders
- Coordinate cross-functional activities with battery, drivetrain, vehicle, software and testing teams to achieve timely design releases and validation milestones
- Reporting
- Prepare and present the thermal development status, KPI maturity, simulation results, testing progress and critical risks for internal reviews and management committees
- Align reporting content with all relevant parties and support clear technical decision making based on validated evidence
