James Baxter

A simulation and analysis engineer with more than 10 years’ experience working in the automotive consultancy industry before forming my own company in 2021. I have led and delivered multiple projects for global OEM's and Tier 1 suppliers across the UK, EU and far East. My focus is on powertrain sizing and thermal system development, from concept selection through to thermal sign off testing. I have worked on combustion engine, fuel cell Balance of Plant (BoP) and electrified powertrains (battery electric, power electronics and traction motors) for diverse applications (drones, mopeds, passenger cars through to marine).

My experience allows me to translate analysis results into real world suggestions and advice to ensure impact from the work that I do, and my background in systems engineering then helps me to work with a team me to implement and develop real-world solutions with an evidence based design rationale.

I have been an eager engineer ever since I unpacked my first LEGO set and I am driven by knowing how things work and how I can help make them more efficient.
