Powertrain Simulation Engineer

​Position Description:

• The company currently seeking a highly motivated engineer with a pro-active attitude, excellent problem-solving skills and solid technical engineering background. 

• You will join a highly dynamic team working on new technologies in the fields of electrification and powertrain performance in the automotive industry.

• You will join the CAE & Data Science Team and co-operate closely with our established engineering team, whilst taking responsibility within our internal and customer projects.

• Your role will be focused on 1D Powertrain and Vehicle Systems Simulations.

• Our engineers are typically exposed to multiple different projects during their career working with us.

• The role is therefore particularly suited to people who will enjoy the opportunity to gain experience in new areas and who can rapidly self-start, combining creative and analytical problem-solving skills.

YOUR RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Perform 1D Modeling and simulation activities for ICE/electrified powertrains and vehicles focused on Performance & Efficiency (MATLAB/Simulink/ GT Suite/ AVL Cruise-M)

• Perform data processing and analysis, with reporting to internal and customer teams and management

• Support system analysis projects, across internal and customer opportunities covering a range of battery and powertrain concepts

• Contribute to the design and development of powertrain components by performing structural simulations, impact analysis and optimization studies to enhance product performance

• Present results and recommendation of analysis to stakeholders

• Support internal company presentations and participate in trainings and knowledge exchange

YOUR PROFILE:

Essential:

• Bachelor’s or master’s degree in a relevant engineering area (Mechanical, Automotive, Electric/Electronics)
