WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

We seek an intellectually curious engineer with solid mathematics and theoretical skills eager to apply modern modeling and simulation methodologies to solve complex and challenging design and processing problems.
As part of the team, you will be asked to participate in Research and Development projects by defining, managing, and executing modeling and calculation activities.
You will be responsible for efficiently building accurate simulation models with a different range of complexity, from system level with imposed component characteristics to more detailed component analysis. You will focus on standalone or coupled simulations for various engine components/ systems facing new design challenges like the introduction of alternative fuels, thus supporting specialists’ decision-making processes.
Your work will focus mainly on system-level 1D-CFD simulations. Typical predictions of interest may include, but are not limited to, dimensioning components and systems, investigating steady-state or transient conditions, and demonstrating the system’s response in equilibrium or during a particular event (e.g., failure state).
As a System Simulation Expert, you will focus on integrating 1D-CFD models with other engine models, studying, for instance, applications where hydraulic models need to be integrated with other subsystems and modeling domains (e.g., mechanical, thermal, electrical, and controller subsystems) to capture interactions and optimize overall system behavior.
In addition, as a System Simulation Expert, you will be responsible for maintaining and developing internal modeling and simulation guidelines, securing the implementation of state-of-the-art methodologies and complementary interaction with 3D-CFD simulations.

AS A SYSTEM SIMULATION EXPERT, YOUR WORK WILL FOCUS ON THESE RESPONSIBILITIES:

• Supporting the design of innovative products employing dedicated modeling and calculation competencies.
• Support troubleshooting in case of failure or malfunction within the planned protocols.
• Establish and develop analysis methods for determining and securing system and component reliability and functionality.
• Partner with your immediate working team and cross-functional domain experts to develop winning solutions for technically challenging business and customer problems.
• Maintain positive and cooperative communications and collaboration with the team, partners, and key stakeholders.
• Documenting activities and know-how developments by creating technical reports and calculation guidelines.

TO BE SUCCESSFUL IN THIS ROLE, WE EXPECT YOU TO HOLD:

• MSc. in Mechanical engineering or other equivalent engineering fields. Applicants with an MSc in Physics, Mathematics, or BSc. with extensive work experience will also be considered. A Ph.D. is a valuable plus.
• You should also be interested in internal combustion engines.
• You possess an analytical mindset and are systematic, curious, open-minded, and focused.
• You are fluent in English, both written and spoken, and you are solid in MS Office.
• Knowledge or practical experience within the following areas and tools are required:
• Fluid mechanics principle (familiarity with 3D-CFD is considered a plus);
• Fluid power, including hydraulics and pneumatics;
• Hydraulics machines;
• Fluid power automation;
• System simulation and Optimization tools (familiarity with GT-SUITE, Amesim, Simulink, or similar tools is seen as an advantage);
• Familiarity with MiL and HiL methodologies aimed at real-time applications;
• Familiarity with standardized data exchange protocols (FMI/FMU) for co-simulation;
• Familiarity with AI applied to simulation practices;
• Knowledge of Matlab and Python programming languages is a plus.
