About the position

This position offers the opportunity to work in a highly collaborative team focused on propulsion-related system models, including thermal, hydraulic, lubrication, and ventilation domains. The successful candidate will conceptualize, build, and exercise analytical system-level models for electrified and conventional propulsion systems, utilizing 1D software tools. The role involves integrating plant models into larger system-level models capable of co-simulation, providing design recommendations, and leading efficiency improvement projects.

Responsibilities

• Conceptualize, build, and exercise analytical system level models for electrified and conventional propulsion systems using 1D software tools.
• Integrate plant models of different domains into a larger system level model capable of 'Software or Hardware (SiL or HiL) in the Loop' Co-Simulation.
• Provide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis results.
• Own and advance analysis practices and/or tools to improve prediction fidelity and execution speed.
• Collaborate with analysis counterparts across several VDDV teams representing global propulsion systems and vehicle engineering.
• Mentor, train and lead TCS India colleagues as well as new team members.
• Provide technical leadership and problem resolution by leveraging analysis results.
• Lead efficiency improvement projects, including the development of automation tools via Python or MATLAB.

Requirements

• Bachelor of Science in Engineering
• 5+ years of experience with simulation, design, testing, or release of propulsion related systems
• 2+ years of experience with GT-SUITE, AMESIM or similar software
• Extensive experience with the principles of vehicle propulsion system design, operation, or testing.

Nice-to-haves

• Master of Science in Mechanical or Aerospace Engineering with coursework in heat transfer or fluid mechanics
• Extensive experience with test to model correlation processes, considering variation analysis
• Experience with programming or scripting in Python, MATLAB or similar software
• Extensive experience with Siemens NX CAD modeling.

Benefits

• Relocation benefits may be available.
