• Designing and sizing cooling systems for rail traction systems
• Specifying thermal cooling components in line with applicable standards
• Defining and validating models and calculation tools through tests
• Managing thermal validation of components in collaboration with validation teams
• Analyzing thermal test results and recalibrating calculations based on outcomes
• Preparing comprehensive reports
