Propulsion Systems Virtual Engineer - Auburn Hills, MI

Apply

The Propulsion System (PRS) simulation and analysis Engineer is responsible for mainly using but also sometimes developing proprietary frameworks and codes to analyze efficiency of Electrified/non-Electrified Propulsion Technology studying several metrics and KPIs (vehicle range, energy consumption, fuel economy, acceleration, power and towing capability, gradeability, charging rates)

Additional specific responsibilities include:

• Modeling activities including using first principles to develop high level models and features as well as the analysis of the produced results.
• 1-D modeling techniques of vehicle acceleration launches in different setups/scenarios (VDE, weight, traction limits, road grades ...etc.)- and various fuel economy cycles for variety of propulsion systems including those that utilize but not limited to ICE, e-Machines, EVT, CVT, AT, MT, ... for hybrid and non-hybrid PRS for all existing PRS architectures
• Tracking and Establishing energy balance sheets and energy flows tracking component losses and efficiencies
• Correlation of models to vehicle test data
• Traces generation and plotting of test and simulation data
• Integration of analytical calculations (pre/post-processing) and basic or advanced control logics governing the behavior of the physical portion of the models embedded into the vehicle applications.
• Creating and using pre-processing and post-processing tools and provide support to resolve issues connected to the utilization of the proprietary frameworks and codes
• Communication of the results in oral presentations and written reports to Chief Engineers, SDLs, COEs, Component Engineers and others including Powertrain management is required and a must

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering or related degree field
• Minimum7 years of experience in product development (preferably in the automotive area) simulating hybrid and/or electrified propulsion systems
• Familiarity with MATLAB, SIMULINK
• Thorough knowledge of Microsoft or Google office products
• Thorough knowledge of the English language including both written and oral communication

Preferred Qualifications:

• Thorough knowledge of vehicle Propulsion Systems including transmissions, axles, drivelines, batteries, and eMotors
• Thorough knowledge in the disciplines of hybrid control strategies or energy management optimization
• Thorough knowledge of commercial coding SW including, but not limited to, MATLAB /Simulink, Stateflow, and Simulink coder, GT Suite, or AMESim
• General knowledge in the disciplines of fluid dynamics and heat transfer
