The simulation engineer reports to the Industry Team Leader
This position is announced within the Automotive Industry Team, which is a global team working with a wide range of applications, including vehicle thermal management, climate control, cooling systems, EV system development, and a wide range of powertrain applications
With a renewed focus on innovation and sustainable climate solutions, the automotive sector is experiencing radical shifts in technologies, and model-based solutions are essential to support these developments
What You Will Do
Model Development
You will work with a team of domain experts to deliver physics-based, lumped-parameter CAE models to Modelon customers leveraging Modelon s portfolio of Modelica libraries
Using commercial libraries in conjunction with custom modeling work, you will have an opportunity to model complex physical systems focusing on automotive thermal/thermofluid applications and possibly including topics such as energy or aerospace
Where applicable, you will work with the Product Development team to integrate custom modeling solutions into Modelon's commercial product portfolio
Simulation and Analysis
You will perform model-based systems engineering in various application tools
Simulation and analysis work includes correlating and verifying models with test data, performing design studies, connecting physical models with controls, optimizing systems, automating simulation and analysis workflows in a scripted environment, and documenting results
Customer engagement
You will work with Industry Solution Teams and the Application Engineering Team to deliver timely, high-quality results that positively influence customer success
You will gain knowledge of Modelon s complete product portfolio and apply relevant technology to solve complex customer problems
In this role, you will be able to engage directly with customers to ensure the successful delivery of consulting projects
You will also interact with potential customers to map out system simulation solutions in presales engagements in support of Modelons commercial team
