JOB DESCRIPTION

Hybrid Position: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Markham Elevation Centre (MEC) or Oshawa Elevation Centre (OEC) a minimum of three times per week.

REQUIRED SKILLS & EXPERIENCE:

• BS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or other relevant degree related to the role.
• Strong knowledge of xEV Thermal Systems
• 5+ years of relevant SW Calibration experience. Experience with physics, behavioral and/or hardware modeling is an asset.
• Excellent multi-functional communication and leadership skills with Proven ability to work in teams, and a demonstrated ability to get multiple teams moving in the same direction.
• High comfort with ambiguity, developing new capabilities, and creating new standard work
• Ability to travel to the US

ADDITIONAL SKILLS AND QUALIFICATIONS:

• Strong knowledge of the bevHEAT Thermal System
• Familiarity with system tools or controls integration CAE tools such as GT-Power, AMESIM, CarSim, CarMaker, MATLAB/SIMULINK, ETAS ASCMO.
• Familiarity with simulation data management (SDM) systems like Teamcenter and RTC.
• Familiarity with version control systems (VCS) tools like Git, SVN and TFS

THE ROLE

We are seeking a motivated candidate for the new role of Virtual Calibration Functional Specialist – Propulsion Thermal.

• In this role, you will be responsible for championing the move to virtual calibration by leading adoption and refinement of simulation tools and environments for the Propulsion Thermal Calibration team.
• The position involves in-vehicle, lab and virtual work – as needed to effectively develop the calibration environment.
• This position is highly collaborative, involving partner teams throughout VDDV, Vehicle Performance, Validation, SMT’s and VMEC. You will be expected to work with cross-functional teams, and will be expected to handle multiple projects/priorities.
• Travel requirements of up to 10% per year are to be expected. Typical travel locations in the US include Michigan, Colorado, California, Arizona.

CORE RESPONSIBILITIES

• Develop and communicate requirements for calibration work, setting direction on priorities for the cross-functional team and providing feedback to the SIL and VDDV teams on model/environment quality such that simulation outputs are aligned with vehicle and hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) setups.
• Conduct calibration work using virtual simulations, developing strategies that will feed into the development of Calibration procedures, simulation configurations, and validation results.
• Lead the evaluation of CoSimulation packages, including data reviews, simulation behavioural tests, automation methods, and authoring/execution of comprehensive test plans to assess software and simulation products at different system levels.
• Support continuous improvement of simulation fidelity and calibration efficiency.
• Lead, Innovate, and develop new ways of completing calibration standard work using Lab, Virtual or other methods.
• Mentor modeling engineers and virtual calibration team on how to create efficient, well-correlated models and test plans. Provide expertise and guidance to the team to identify and resolve product problems; contribute and guide the team knowledge base so corner case situations and other learnings can be retained and shared.
• Participate in product design and development teams and regularly present analysis results to engineering peers and management.
