• Strong understanding of powertrain systems and their kinematic and dynamic interactions.
• Experience with NVH, durability and vibration analysis.
• Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) and modal analysis to deal with flexible bodies
• Proficient in scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for simulation automation.
• Exposure to AI/ML application in CAE domain
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
• Excellent communication and technical documentation abilities.

Desired:

• Experience with structural and thermal co-simulation with MBD simulations (e.g., MBD and Simulink).
• Familiarity with vehicle system-level simulation tools (e.g., CarSim, AMESim)
• Knowledge of vehicle dynamics and control systems.
• Knowledge of drivetrain efficiency, gear dynamics, and torsional vibration.
• Exposure to electric powertrains and hybrid systems.
• Experience with data acquisition, data processing and test correlation.
• Knowledge about the implementation of a data-driven framework in different aspects of virtual simulations for faster and more efficient product development cycles.
• Basic proficiency with CAD software such as 3DExperience, CATIA, or Unigraphics (UG/NX)

Key Responsibilities:

• Develop and validate multi-body dynamic (MBD) models of powertrain systems, including the engine, driveline, and transmission (EDU).
• Perform simulations to evaluate durability, drivability and NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) behavior of powertrain components subjected to different vehicle operating conditions
• Collaborate with design, testing, and controls teams to optimize system performance and reliability.
• Analyze test data and correlate with simulation results to improve model accuracy.
• Support root cause analysis of powertrain-related issues using Model-Based Design (MBD) tools.
• Document simulation methodologies, results, and recommendations in technical reports.
• Contribute to the development of simulation best practices and automation tools.
• Develop testing plans to validate the simulated outputs and physical interpretation of results to come up with design recommendations for product enhancement.
• Perform design trade-off and robustness studies for several design iterations during development phases of a product.
