- Santa Oliva, Tarragona
- Permanente
- Tiempo completo
- Development of system-level 1D/0D models for energy consumption and vehicle performance simulations, with focus on hybrid, full electric and hydrogen fuel cell powertrain configurations.
- Model integration in MiL (model-in-the-loop) environment. Implement model upgrades, ensure model enrichment and seek model accuracy improvements.
- Control development and software logic implementation in MATLAB/Simulink.
- Support development of multibody models for powertrain dynamic simulations.
- Data analysis of vehicle test results for model correlation.
- Development of scripts and tools in MATLAB/Simulink and Python (automation of data pre/post processing, simulation, and reporting tasks).
- Analysis of market trends and regulatory framework affecting vehicle energy consumption and efficiency of passenger cars and HD trucks for all kind of powertrain technologies (ICE, HEV, BEV, FCEV).
- To prepare technical reports or visual presentations to summarize results, contribute to project review meetings in collaboration with other members of the powertrain simulation team.
- 1 to 3 years of experience in the automotive industry, preferably in the areas of powertrain or vehicle energy consumption simulation.
- Advanced level in MATLAB/Simulink.
- Knowledge of Python for data analysis, machine learning and optimization is desirable.
- Experience with commercial 1D simulation software is very valuable (i.e. GT-suite, Simcenter Amesim).
- Knowledge of other CAE software for multi-body simulations is an asset (Simscape, ADAMS, AVL Excite, Simcenter 3D, others)
- Deep understanding of powertrain systems, its elements, and component interactions, in conventional as well as electrified vehicle applications.
- Open, highly motivated personality with hands-on mentality, able to work autonomously as well as being part of a team in a hybrid style (office and remote).
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with intellectual curiosity and the drive to investigate technical facts in-depth.
- Master of Science or equivalent degree in Industrial, Mechanical, Automotive, Aeronautical Engineering.
- Fluent in Spanish and English.
- Other languages (i.e German) will be an asset.
- Apply and a dedicated recruiter will contact you for a first phone interview and provide further details.
