Job Description
This role is responsible for working within the Propulsion Systems Virtual Engineering team, focusing on simulations to support product development and research activity in the areas of dynamics for durability, functionality, and NVH. It includes ownership of collecting input data, developing and validating 1D, 2D, and 3D virtual models, running simulations, post-processing, and communicating analytical results to customers. The position also involves responding to requests from product-responsible departments by delivering analytical results using available methodologies, as well as proposing and developing new virtual tools and methods whenever existing solutions are not sufficient to meet project demands. The position defines and executes the development and validation of Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and Finite Element (FE) models for propulsion components, sub systems, and complete systems. This scope encompasses the dynamic behavior of internal combustion engine mechanical systems—including timing drives, valvetrains, FEAD, direct injection pumps, and balancer shafts—as well as the dynamic behavior and NVH phenomena, such as rattle and whine, of transmissions and hybrid torsional dampers. Additionally, the role manages critical driveline phenomena including powerhop, ice rink, and tip-in/tip-out clunk, alongside park gear systems and wheel end disconnect mechanisms. A key part of the role is executing dynamic simulations through MBD models to evaluate vibrations, loads, and boundary conditions, while leading detailed root cause analyses and correlation activities to elevate the confidence level of virtual results. The position utilizes a strong understanding of physics to identify dynamics and NVH issues and proposes optimized solutions through Design of Experiments (DoE) to balance trade offs between performance, durability, weight, and functionality. This person also acts as a primary technical point of contact for stakeholders, managing dat
