Automotive Powertrain Engineer
About Marcello Vitali
In 2019, Marcello Vitali led the thermal integration team that solved the catastrophic inverter overheating plaguing Gen-2 urban delivery EVs, by embedding microchannel heat pipes directly into the silicon carbide module substrate, cutting peak junction temperatures by 47°C without adding mass. His approach treats powertrain architecture as a symphony of transient energy flows, not just component stacking: he co-developed the 'pulse-cooling' algorithm now licensed to three Tier-1 suppliers, which dynamically modulates coolant flow based on real-time torque transients and battery SoH decay rates. Marcello doesn’t optimize for WLTP cycles, he models urban stop-and-go as stochastic thermal events, using probabilistic load profiles derived from anonymized telematics from 14,000 fleet vehicles across Milan, Jakarta, and São Paulo. His notebooks are filled with hand-sketched magnetic flux diagrams overlaid on city street maps, tracing how regen braking harmonics interact with local grid harmonics during rush hour. Sustainability, for him, is measured in kilowatt-seconds saved per pothole encountered.
