+ Develop multi-scale and multi-domain models spanning component, subsystem, and system-level behavior across electrical, mechanical, thermal, hydraulic, pneumatic, and controls-coupled domains.

+ Translate abstract methods, first-principles equations, reduced-order formulations, and engineering concepts into practical, validated, and reusable simulation models.

+ Perform custom model and library development to represent unique physics, behaviors, interfaces, and product architectures not available in standard toolsets.

+ Build supporting engineering applications, scripts, utilities, and automation workflows to improve model usability, execution speed, and integration into development processes.

+ Support code generation, model compilation, solver configuration, co-simulation setup, FMU export/import, and runtime integration across development environments.

+ Create interfaces between plant models and external applications, controllers, embedded software components, and test platforms.

+ Partner with CAE engineers to align system-level and reduced-order models with detailed simulation results, test data, and product physics.

+ Collaborate with MBD and controls engineers to provide plant models suitable for MIL, SIL, HIL, and closed-loop controls development.

+ Work with embedded software engineers to support executable deployment, runtime validation, and integration of models into software and test ecosystems.

+ Perform model verification, validation, calibration, sensitivity analysis, and performance optimization using simulation and test data.

+ Contribute to simulation architecture decisions related to model reuse, interoperability, deployment strategy, abstraction level, and framework scalability.

+ Document model assumptions, governing equations, parameter sources, interfaces, limitations, and validation results.

+ Provide technical leadership and mentoring in plant modeling, multi-scale simulation methods, and custom model/application development.
