Powertrain Plant Modelling Engineer

Powertrain Plant Modelling Engineer (MIL/SIL/HIL)

This role focuses on physics-based modelling of powertrain systems (engine, coolant, evaporative purge, exhaust), supporting control system development, integration and validation. You will work closely with global teams to build and maintain high-quality plant models for simulation and testing.

The ideal candidate should have a strong understanding of internal combustion engine fundamentals, automotive control systems, and simulation methodologies.

• Develop, integrate, and release plant models (powertrain, transmission, electrical, and vehicle systems) using AMESim and MATLAB/Simulink.
• Support control system validation in SIL (Software-in-the-Loop) and HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) environments.
• Maintain and enhance simulation environments for closed-loop validation
• Collaborate with global modelling teams to ensure consistency and reuse of models
• Create and maintain:
  • Plant model requirement documents
  • Test plans, test cases, and validation reports
• Perform testing on MIL/SIL/HIL platforms, dynamometers.
• Work with feature engineers to gather data for model parameterization
• Participate in design reviews to ensure quality deliverables
• Support issue resolution and debugging of embedded control systems
• Mentor validation engineers and support OBD (On-Board Diagnostics) validation activities
• Contribute to research and advanced development by enabling model reuse across programs

 

Required

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
• 2–5 years of experience in:
  • Powertrain modelling and closed loop simulation
  • AMESim, MATLAB/Simulink and model-based development
• Strong understanding of:
  • Internal combustion engines
  • Automotive control systems
  • Simulation and co-simulation techniques
• Experience in testing/debugging embedded automotive software
• Good communication and teamwork skills

Preferred:

• Strong experience in AMESim
• Exposure to vehicle architectures (Gas, Hybrid, EV)
• Knowledge of V&V (Verification & Validation) toolsering
