Peoria, IL / Onsite

Duration:
Long Term Contract

Job Summary

We are seeking an experienced Mechanical Engineer & Controls Engineer to lead front-end product architecture and simulation activities for electrified powertrain systems. This role focuses on model-based engineering (MBE) and first-principles system simulation to support early-stage design, architecture decisions, and system validation for advanced electrified powertrains.

The ideal candidate will have strong MATLAB/Simulink expertise, a systems-level mindset, and hands-on experience developing simulation-based architectures and control models for hybrid and electric powertrain systems.

Key Responsibilities

• Develop and apply 1D system-level simulation models for electrified powertrains
• Architect and size powertrain systems, including:
• Hybrid Electric Vehicles (HEV)
• Battery Electric Vehicles (BEV)
• Translate product and system requirements into simulation-driven designs
• Support early phases of the V-model development lifecycle
• Develop and integrate control algorithms within system simulations
• Collaborate closely with validation teams to ensure:
• Alignment between simulation and physical testing
• Virtual models accurately represent real-world behavior
• Work across multidisciplinary teams including motors, batteries, converters, and mechanical systems

Required Technical Skills

Core (Non-Negotiable) Skills

• Strong expertise in Model-Based Engineering (MBE)
• Experience with first-principles modeling
• Advanced proficiency in MATLAB / Simulink, including:
• Algorithm development
• Control logic implementation
• Function block–based modeling
• Controls experience focused on system and powertrain control algorithms
• (
  
  Note:
  
  This is not IT or PLC-based controls)

Simulation & CAE Tools

• Primary Tool: MATLAB / Simulink
• Secondary Tools (Nice to Have):
• Simcenter (used for architecture and NPI work)
• Tool-agnostic mindset with the ability to adapt to new simulation environments

Systems Engineering Expectations

• Strong systems-level thinking across electrified powertrain components
• Experience in sizing and architecting:
• Batteries
• Electric motors
• Gearboxes
• Solid understanding of how complete electric powertrain systems interact
• Broad system knowledge preferred over narrow domain specialization

Industry Background

Candidates from the following industries are encouraged to apply:

• Automotive
• Off-Highway
• Aerospace
• Rail
• Marine

Experience with medium- to high-voltage systems is highly valued:

• Voltage range: 48V to 1500V+ (up to ~3kV)

Programming & Automation

• Python experience is preferred but not mandatory
• Some simulation workflows and notebooks are Python-based
• Ideal candidates can work in both:
• MATLAB / Simulink
• Python
• Strong expertise in one with working knowledge of the other is acceptable

Thanks,
