Propulsion Systems Virtual Engineer

Propulsion System (PRS) Simulation and Analysis Engineer

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 Technologies 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 usingpre‑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

• Bachelor's Degree in Electrical, Mechanical, or Computer Engineering or related degree field
• Minimum 7 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

• Thorough knowledge of vehicle Propulsion Systems including transmissions, axles, drive lines, batteries, and e‑Motors
• 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
