Description

Company Description Shaping the Future of Automotive Engineering Applus+ IDIADA is a global leader in automotive engineering, offering a dynamic and rewarding career opportunity for professionals passionate about shaping the future of mobility. As a TOP Employer certified company with over 3400 professionals from more than 20 countries, we provide a diverse and inclusive work environment that fosters innovation and growth with colleagues from over 50 nationalities contributing to a safer, more efficient, and sustainable vehicles. Job Description The consultant engineer will be working within the Advanced Powertrain team as part of the Powertrain Engineering group at our client’s premises, and will contribute to the research & development of innovative digital tools & virtual calibration processes for hybrid & electric vehicles. Specifically the consultant will develop methodologies in the field of controls and model-based calibration, and for the assigned project the main responsibilities will include: Methodology development & tools: Standardize virtual development processes for powertrain systems, develop and implement model-based calibration methodologies and parameter identification tools, continuously improve existing methods and tools available within the group. Modeling & simulation: Develop and maintain powertrain system-level and vehicle-level 1D/0D models, support control development and model-based calibration activities through robust modeling frameworks, ensure model accuracy and fidelity for virtual validation purposes. Software integration & validation: Integrate specific powertrain software control functions and logic into simulation environments, conduct virtual-level validation of control strategies, support SW validation processes through simulation-based testing, apply developed methodologies to improve vehicle calibration efficiency. Testing & Model validation: Plan, organize, and coordinate test campaigns for model and process validation, perform comprehensive data analysis and interpretation, draw technical conclusions and define action plans based on test results, ensure alignment between virtual predictions and physical test outcomes. Preparation of technical report & presentations to update the project progress and main results, internal communication with related divisions, support definition of project requirements. Team support: take a role of expert in the field, contribute to the team overall outcome, support problem solving, collaborate with other evaluation/design/simulation teams. Qualifications Profile: We are looking for a profile with strong technical, analytical, and fast-learning capabilities; with the ability to defend technical points in meetings with clients, forecast the impact of decisions and the ability to work in a methodological way. If you want an opportunity to challenge yourself and enhance your technical skills, to work in a thriving environment alongside world-leading experts, then simply apply for this role!
