people dedicated to solving real-world mobility challenges and achieving international projects with sustainable local impact.
This position follows a hybrid working model, combining remote work and on-site presence.
Role Overview
The AeroX & Climatic Comfort Engineer contributes to project and tender development by applying engineering processes and domain guidelines within the areas of
internal aerodynamics, thermal behaviour, HVAC performance, and climatic comfort
.
The role focuses primarily on
thermo?fluid dynamic simulations
and
comfort assessments
, using tools such as
STAR?CCM+
and
Therm
to evaluate airflow distribution, thermal loads, ventilation efficiency, and overall passenger and driver comfort.
The engineer also performs experimental activities, both on
mock-ups
(air duct networks, HVAC units, environmental chambers) and on
trains
,to assess climatic performance during preliminary and final validation.
The position contributes to advanced methods development, R&D; initiatives, and cross?disciplinary innovation activities.

Key Responsibilities (Comfort?Oriented)
Perform
CFD simulations
for internal aerodynamics and climatic comfort (air distribution, temperature uniformity, draft risk, HVAC efficiency).
Analyse
thermal behaviour
of passenger and driver cabins, including heat loads, ventilation rates, and HVAC system performance.
Support the design and optimization of
HVAC units, air ducts, diffusers, intakes, filters, heating and cooling solutions
.
Predict
climate comfort indicators
using standard methodologies and internal best practices (temperature maps, PMV/PPD, local thermal comfort metrics, etc.).
Define
comfort requirements
at vehicle and subsystem level.
Prepare technical documentation for offers and projects concerning climatic performance.
Plan, participate in, and analyse experiments in
environmental chambers, mock?ups
, or
on?train tests
(cooling/heating curves, airflow measurements, thermal transients).
Support development of
advanced modelling techniques
combining internal aerodynamics, thermal loads, and occupant comfort.
Contribute to R&D; programs focused on improving comfort, energy efficiency, and HVAC system integration.
Interact with AeroX and Comfort experts in other sites to leverage shared knowledge.




Complementary Aerodynamic Responsibilities
(maintained with reduced emphasis)
Assess external aerodynamic performance (pressure waves, crosswind, RAM) when needed.
Support documentation and testing related to train aerodynamics.
Required Competencies

in thermo?fluid dynamics, HVAC, climatic comfort engineering, railway or similar sectors.
Experience in both
numerical simulation
and
experimental testing
.
Experience managing technical tasks or small teams is preferred.
Technical Skills
Good knowledge of CFD software (STAR?CCM+, CFX, Fluent, PowerFLOW, etc.).
Solid understanding of
thermal management, HVAC systems, air distribution
and
human comfort assessment
.
Familiarity with fluid?structure interaction and aero?thermal coupling is a plus.
Ability to lead transversal R&D; actions and methodology development.
