Multibody Dynamics Simulation (MBD) Engineer
* Multibody Dynamics Simulation (MBD) Engineer
The Powertrain Dynamics CAE Engineer integrates powertrain, vehicle mechanical system models and controls algorithms to a level of detail that is sufficient to evaluate transient dynamic response, efficiency, performance, and vehicle drivability. The knowledge of powertrain system functions, dynamical systems modelling, and overall powertrain/vehicle system integration are critical skill sets for this position.
Job responsibilities include but not limited to:
• Primarily responsible for virtual (CAE) validation and development of automotive powertrain, driveline, vehicle suspension systems to meet functional, durability, and NVH requirements.
• Develops multi-body dynamics models for powertrain, driveline and vehicle suspension mechanical sub-systems; these sub-system models are then integrated with appropriate control algorithms into an overall powertrain and vehicle system model.
• Multi-body system models are created by commercial CAE tools such as ADAMS, SIMDRIVE, SIMPACK, MATLAB, or in-house vehicle modelling software environments.
• Provide simulation results for drivability, transient dynamic response, efficiency, and vehicle performance metrics at various design stages and create design concepts to meet requirements.
• Virtual analysis includes vehicle transient response during — aggressive launch, gear-shifts, rough road conditions, stick-slip (power-hop), and step mu (ice to asphalt) manoeuvres.
• Develop improvements to advanced simulation and validation techniques.
• Create and maintain all documentation associated with models, software, hardware design level and configuration data.
• Work collaboratively with other virtual analysis engineers, powertrain and chassis design teams, test engineers, and suppliers to meet product targets and timing.
Basic Qualifications:
• Master degree in Mechanical engineering or related engineering field from an ABET accredited university.
• Minimum 3 years of engineering experience.
• Minimum 2 years of industry working experience in developing powertrain or vehicle system multi-body dynamic models using ADAMS, SIMPACK, AVL-Excite, or equivalent.
