Advanced Dynamics Engineer

The Advanced Dynamics Engineer will focus on simulation to support product development and research activity in the area of dynamics for durability, functionality and NVH. The engineer will be responsible to develop and validate 1D/2D/3D models, run simulations, post process and communicate results with internal customers. The individual will receive requests from product responsible department and respond with analytical results using available tools/methodology or will develop new tool/methodology if existing ones are not sufficient.

The responsibility of the engineer will include, but not limited to:

• Develop and validate of multibody dynamics models in the following perimeters:
  
  
  
  
  • Transmission: dynamic and NVH (rattle and whine); DMF/torque converter/P2/SI-eVT hybrid torsionals
  • Driveline: powerhoop, ice rink, tip-in/tip-out clunk, engine start
  • Park Gear System: hill hold/pull out of park, ratcheting, rollback distance
  • Wheel End Disconnect: engagement time, dynamic torque
  • ICE Mechanical Systems: timing drive, timing belt, valvetrain, FEAD, DI pump, cranktrain, balancer shafts, ICE integrated
  • DoE and optimization analysis aimed to ensure the best trade-off over performances (durability, NVH, weight...).
  
  
  
  
• Detailed studies including root cause analysis on issues, identification and validation of enablers.
• Correlation activities aimed to demonstrate the virtual analysis confidence level.
• Technical coordination of CAE validations plans for propulsion systems program(s) including analysis scope / target agreement with stakeholders, timely delivery of status vs target and proactive identification / validation of enablers if target is not achieved.
• Technical synthesis, reporting and communication with clear takeaways, executive summary and, if needed, root cause analysis and risk mitigation plan.
• Direct interaction with STLA stakeholders for all the steering activities: input data collection, input data validation, results revision and communication.
• Training and coaching of new engineers.

Basic Qualifications:

• Bachelor's degree in Electrical, Mechatronics or a closely related engineering degree from an ABET accredited university
• 5+ years of engineering experience
• Self-starter with strong leadership, communication skills, and demonstrated problem solving ability
• Understanding of manufacturing and quality processes of electrical components
• Knowledge Demonstrated ability to work in a team environment

Preferred Qualifications:

• Master's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics Engineering, or a closely related engineering degree from an ABET accredited University
• Components releasing experience
• Experienced in validating and releasing of Electric Components for Automotive applications
• Knowledge in electrified powertrain propulsion systems
• Design for Six Sigma (DFSS) Green / Black-Belt
• Knowledgeable in use of Teamcenter with experience in NX in a production release environment
