SIL/HIL Core Models Engineer
Looking for a highly qualified and motivated engineer to develop vehicle propulsion system plant models applied for propulsion control system performance verification/validation use cases. The engineer will be responsible for development and application of physics-based system level models for VPSE technologies (Electric vehicle, Hybrid electric vehicle and Internal combustion engine).
Responsibilities:
• Ideate, develop, and apply analytical system level models to support electrified vehicle propulsion system calibration use cases in SIL and HIL environments.
• Envision and create methods, tools, and processes to improve model development and deployment process robustness.
• Develop physics-based and data-driven reduced order system level models in thermal, mechanical, and electrical domain pertinent to automotive systems.
• Perform rigorous verification, correlation, and validation of developed models to ensure model fidelity, accuracy, and execution speed.
• Collaborate with SIL/HIL integration engineers to ensure models satisfy interface requirements.
• Collaborate with D&R engineers to understand system design specs and obtain needed model parameterization data.
• Collaborate with vehicle test engineers to develop instrumentation plan and obtain necessary data for model development and validation.
• Partner with R&A engineers to transfer new technology models to product development.
• Develop and document processes for robust program delivery and present work to technical forums.
Experience Required:
• 5+ years of propulsion systems development experience with an understanding of the calibration process.
• 5+ years of experience developing and testing propulsion system analytical models.
