Senior Virtual Calibration Engineer - Thermal

Job Description

Work Arrangement:

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the Milford Proving Grounds location three times per week, at minimum [or other frequency dictated by the business.

The Role:

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.

What You'll Do:

• 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. 

• 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

What Can Give You a Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications):

• MS in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Chemical Engineering or other relevant degree related to the role.

• 8+ years of relevant SW Calibration experience.

• 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
