Propulsion System (PRS) Virtual Designer for Range, Energy Consumption, & Vehicle Performance

The PRS simulation and analysis Engineer is responsible for using and developing proprietary frameworks and codes to analyze efficiency of Electrified Propulsion Technology using several metrics and KPIs (vehicle range, energy consumption, fuel economy, acceleration, power and towing capability, gradeability, charging rates)

 

Additional responsibilities include:

 

• Modeling activities including using first principles to develop high level models and features.  

• Integration of basic or advanced control logics governing the behavior of the physical portion of the models embedded into the vehicle applications.

• Creating and using pre-processing and post-processing tools and provide support to resolve issues connected to the utilization of the proprietary frameworks and codes

• Communicating of the results in oral presentations and written reports to Chief Engineers, COEs, Component Engineers and others including Powertrain management is required and a must
