What is a 1D Simulation job?

A 1D Simulation job involves using specialized software to model and analyze the behavior of systems in one dimension, such as fluid dynamics, thermal management, or mechanical systems. Engineers in this role create simplified but accurate representations of complex systems, allowing for efficient performance optimization and design validation. Common industries that use 1D simulation include automotive, aerospace, and energy. Tools like Simulink, GT-SUITE, and AMESim are often used for these simulations. The goal is to improve product development by reducing physical prototyping and accelerating design cycles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive in the 1D Simulation position, and why are they important?

To thrive as a 1D Simulation Engineer, you need strong analytical skills, a background in mechanical or electrical engineering, and proficiency in applied physics and mathematics. Familiarity with industry-standard 1D simulation tools such as GT-SUITE, MATLAB/Simulink, or Amesim, and relevant certifications or experience with these platforms, is highly valued. Strong problem-solving ability, clear communication, and the capacity to work collaboratively with cross-functional teams are important soft skills. These qualifications ensure accurate modeling, effective troubleshooting, and smooth integration of simulation results with broader engineering projects.

What does a typical workday look like for a 1D Simulation Engineer?

A typical day for a 1D Simulation Engineer involves developing and refining mathematical models to simulate system performance, running simulations for components such as engines, HVAC systems, or hydraulic circuits. You'll analyze and interpret data, prepare technical reports, and present findings to multidisciplinary teams including design, testing, and product engineering. Collaboration is common, as you'll often discuss requirements or results with colleagues to inform design decisions or improvements. The role combines focused computer-based tasks with regular team meetings and problem-solving sessions, making flexibility and effective communication key to daily success.

Job description

Description

The Senior Engine Design Engineer leads the design, development, validation, and production release of internal combustion engine (ICE) and/or hybrid powertrain mechanical components and subsystems. This role is responsible for delivering robust designs that meet performance, durability, packaging, cost, manufacturability, and quality targets. The engineer serves as a technical leader, mentoring others, driving cross-functional execution, and owning complex design problems from concept through production launch.

Product & Component Design Leadership

  • Own end-to-end design responsibility for engine hardware (e.g., block, head, valvetrain, crank train, piston/rod, lubrication, cooling, induction/exhaust interfaces, mounting/structures, covers, brackets, accessory drives)
  • Manage creation and refinement of 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D drawings
  • Create and refine GD&T, tolerancing strategy, and fit/function requirements
  • Perform concept trade studies and lead design decisions considering performance, cost, risk, packaging, NVH, durability, and serviceability
  • Drive design standards and best practices, ensuring compliance with internal standards, industry norms, and safety requirements

Engineering Analysis & Validation

  • Develop design solutions guided by FEA/CFD inputs and physical requirements (stress, fatigue, thermal distortion, modal behavior, sealing, wear)
  • Define and review test plans (DV/PV, durability, thermal, sealing, corrosion, vibration) and translate test findings into design actions
  • Lead root cause investigations for failures (fracture, fatigue, scuffing, oil aeration, overheating, bolt loosening, gasket leaks) using structured methods 
  • Own component design verification reports and engineering signoffs (design release readiness, deviation approvals, change control justification)

Systems Integration & Cross-Functional Coordination

  • Ensure component designs integrate with packaging constraints and system interfaces (mounting, accessory alignment, sealing, routing)
  • Support prototype builds, teardowns, plant trials, and field issue triage

Project Execution & Technical Leadership

  • Plan and execute work packages: schedule, risk register, technical deliverables, and design reviews
  • Lead technical design reviews, manage engineering changes, and ensure clean BOM structure and configuration control
  • Mentor junior engineers and designers; review their work for correctness and maturity
  • Contribute to strategic technology roadmaps

Requirements

  • Must be a US Citizen or Permanent Resident
  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field (Master's preferred)
  • 5+ years of engine or powertrain hardware design experience (or equivalent advanced development experience)
  • Strong proficiency with 3D CAD (e.g., CATIA, NX, Creo, SolidWorks) and GD&T
  • Demonstrated experience taking designs through prototype - validation - production release
  • Solid understanding of materials & manufacturing (cast iron/aluminum, steels, heat treat, surface finishes), mechanical design fundamentals (fatigue, bolted joints, sealing, tribology, thermal expansion), design for quality and reliability (PFMEA, DFMEA, control plans, tolerance stack-up)
  • Experience with engineering change management and BOM/configuration control
  • Strong knowledge of engine mechanical design principles, CAE methods, and manufacturing processes
  • Excellent communication, leadership, and organizational skills
  • Ability to participate in defense and export-controlled projects without special licensing 

Preferred Qualifications: 

  • Prior experience working with global OEMs or engineering service providers 
  • Background in combustion engines for industrial applications (marine, rail, power generation)
  • Experience with advanced tools (3D CAD, CAE, 1D simulation, PLM systems)
  • Understanding of systems engineering methodologies 
  • Familiarity with APQP/PPAP, supplier development, and launch support
