Thermal and Fluid Systems Engineer

We are looking for a talented Thermal and Fluid Systems Engineer to join our team specializing in Engineering  in Milano, Lombardia, Italy.

The role offers flexibility in terms of working arrangements. You can either work fully remotely from anywhere in Italy or follow a hybrid working model, combining remote work with regular presence in our Turin or Milan office (60% onsite / 40% remote).

In this role, you will make an impact in the following ways:

• You will use thermal and fluid sciences to evaluate system and component performance, helping guide technical decisions that support advanced, efficient, and environmentally responsible products.


• You will develop and apply 3D CFD combustion models and simulation workflows for current and future compression ignition and spark ignition engine technologies.


• You will combine high-fidelity 3D CFD with 1D system-level modelling to assess combustion system architectures and support design optimization.


• You will perform in-cylinder combustion and conjugate heat transfer analysis to improve the performance and durability of critical engine power-cylinder components.


• You will investigate thermal-fluid product or technology issues, identify root causes, recommend corrective actions, and document results to support problem resolution.


• You will contribute to platform engineering development programs by helping fulfil open-cycle and closed-cycle combustion simulation requirements.


• You will strengthen analysis-led product development by improving modelling, simulation, testing, and data-analysis processes.


• You will collaborate with engineers, technical leaders, project teams, suppliers, and other stakeholders to deliver clear recommendations that support high-quality project decisions.

To be successful in this role you will need the following:

• Strong technical fundamentals in thermodynamics, combustion, fluid dynamics, heat transfer, engine performance, and energy conversion systems.
• Practical experience using modelling and simulation tools such as CONVERGE, Chemkin, GT-Suite, Fluent, Boost, or similar thermal-fluid analysis platforms.
• Strong data analysis and visualization skills using tools such as MATLAB, Python, Tecplot, Ensight, Paraview, or equivalent software.
• Effective collaboration, communication, problem-solving, documentation, and decision-making skills to work across teams and support project execution.

Education/ Experience:

• Bachelor’s degree in Engineering or an appropriate STEM field is required.
• Master’s degree or PhD in Mechanical Engineering or a related thermal-fluid discipline is preferred or may be required for select roles.
• Minimum of 2 years of academic experience in in-cylinder 3D combustion CFD analysis is preferred.
• Experience with diesel combustion system architecture analysis is strongly preferred.
• Internship, co-op, extracurricular technical project, or early-career professional experience in a relevant engineering discipline is preferred.
• Knowledge of Microsoft Office tools and familiarity with technical documentation, requirements engineering, and product development processes will support success in the role.
