Responsibilities

  • Work closely with stakeholders to identify requirements, schedule, and deploy simulation projects to enable virtual vehicle design, development, and validation
  • Engage with cross functional team members to coordinate on-time delivery of simulation components to meet requirements and timing
  • Integrate plant models and other ECU models with controller software source code and perform virtual system verification based on requirements
  • Obtain, develop, parameterize, and test virtual controller models to be used across different components such as HWIO, RTOS, controller I/O, and other ECU behavioral models
  • Perform simulation correlation activities based on experimental data
  • Create, maintain, and improve standard simulation architectures
  • Provide support for released simulations, including detailed documentation, and assist users with testing and troubleshooting
  • Design, develop, verify, and execute automated test suites
  • Assist initiatives to benchmark and adopt next-generation simulation technology and tools
  • Identify, implement, and standardize new simulation development processes of engineering
  • Provide process and architecture feedback improvements
