Role Overview

The Engineering Group Manager (EGM) – CFD leads a multidisciplinary computational fluid dynamics organization supporting Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) and Electrified Propulsion systems. This role is accountable for technical excellence, people leadership, and strategic delivery of CFD capabilities that enable robust, efficient, and innovative propulsion system designs.

The EGM will guide a team of engineers focused on high-fidelity CFD analyses—including multiphase, thermal-fluid, and reacting flow simulations—spanning concept development through production validation. The role partners closely with hardware, test, manufacturing, and program leadership to accelerate decision-making through predictive simulation.

Key Responsibilities

Technical Leadership

• Own and advance the CFD strategy supporting ICE, hybrid, and electrified propulsion systems , including motors, inverters, batteries, fuel systems, lubrication, thermal management, and exhaust/aftertreatment.
• Provide subject matter leadership in advanced CFD methods , with emphasis on multiphase flows (e.g., spray, cavitation, oil/air, particle-laden or phase-change flows).
• Ensure simulation methodologies are validated, scalable, and production-ready , aligned with physical testing and product performance targets.
• Drive adoption of best-in-class modeling approaches , including high-fidelity transient simulations, conjugate heat transfer, and data-driven/model-order reduction techniques where appropriate.

People & Organizational Leadership

• Lead, develop, and inspire a team of CFD engineers, including hiring, mentoring, performance management, and succession planning.
• Foster a culture of technical rigor, accountability, collaboration, and continuous learning .
• Set clear goals, priorities, and performance expectations aligned with enterprise and program objectives.
• Enable effective cross-functional collaboration with design, test, manufacturing, controls, and program teams.

Program & Business Execution

• Align CFD deliverables with program milestones , cost, timing, and quality requirements.
• Balance resources across ICE and electrification portfolios, managing competing priorities and workload peaks.
• Communicate technical risks and recommendations clearly to leadership, translating complex CFD results into actionable insights.
• Champion simulation-driven development to reduce physical iterations and accelerate time-to-market.

Innovation & Transformation

• Support the evolution toward enterprise virtual engineering , including integration of CFD into broader virtual development, digital twin, and SPDM ecosystems.
• Evaluate and guide deployment of new tools, solvers, HPC/GPU strategies, and workflows.
• Partner externally (suppliers, software vendors, academia) to stay at the forefront of CFD technology.

• Required Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Chemical Engineering, or related field (Master’s or PhD preferred).
• Strong foundational expertise in CFD theory and application , including turbulence, heat transfer, and transient flows.
• Demonstrated experience leading engineering teams and delivering complex technical programs.
• Proven ability to communicate effectively with both technical experts and executive leadership.
• Preferred Qualifications

• Deep experience in multiphase CFD modeling (e.g., sprays, cavitation, boiling/condensation, particulate flows).
• Background in ICE systems , electrified propulsion, or automotive thermal-fluid applications.
• Hands-on familiarity with commercial and/or in-house CFD tools (e.g., CONVERGE, STAR-CCM+, Fluent, OpenFOAM).
• Experience integrating simulation with test correlation, design optimization, and manufacturing considerations .
• Track record of driving simulation-led design decisions at the system and component levels.
• Key Leadership Attributes

• Strategic, systems-level thinker with strong technical judgment.
• Able to balance innovation with execution in a fast-paced product environment.
• Influential leader who builds trust across organizations.
• Passionate about developing people and advancing engineering capability.
