• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering; Master’s in Fluid/Thermal/Design preferred.
• 10+ years of experience in Aero Thermal System Modeling or model-based design for aircraft systems.
• Strong expertise in steady-state and dynamic system modeling for HVAC, gas turbines, engine bleed air regulation, air distribution, or gas inerting systems.
• Hands-on experience with Modelica/Dymola, Simulink, Simscape, or similar object-oriented modeling tools (8+ years).
• Proficiency in Matlab or Python scripting for modeling, simulation, and analysis.
• Knowledge of FMU-based model exchange, solver configuration, and model convergence issues.
• Strong critical thinking, problem-solving, and decision-making skills.
• Ability to analyze, monitor, and improve system efficiency and stability.
• Excellent communication skills and experience collaborating with international teams.
• Experience in proposal development and contributing to professional engineering communities.

Benefits

• Competitive salary and performance-based incentives.
• Transportation facility and car lease program.
• Group health, life, and personal accident insurance coverage.
• Paid vacation (18 days) and sick leave (12 days) annually.
• Employee scholarship and development programs.
• National Pension Scheme (NPS) and long-term allowances (LTA).
