• Knowledge of multi-physics modeling software such as Simulink, Simscape, Simcenter Amesim, GT Suite, or similar OR experience with using computational fluid dynamics (CFD) software to develop models and conduct analysis
• Proficient in development and use of hardware-in-the-loop (HIL), model-in-loop (MIL), and/or software-in-the-loop (SIL) simulation platforms
• Strong understanding of renewable energy systems including solar, wind, power, or power distribution concepts including uninterrupted power supply, power converters, switchboards, and/or other power electronics
• Demonstrated implementation of real-world power generation and distribution problems into complex modeling and simulation platforms
• Demonstrated development and implementation of modular component models with scalable flexibility for various levels of simulation fidelity

What gives you an edge?

• Experience with machine learning models generated from data a plus
• Experience with development of SIL, MIL, and HIL platforms for verification and validation of controls software
• Experience using multi-physics simulation software for systems, computational fluid dynamics software, or finite element analysis software for design
• Strong understanding of controls systems, particularly battery management, thermal system management, and energy management software and development and verification through use of simulation frameworks
• Experience using version control for modeling and simulation including Git or other similar tools
• PhD in electrical or mechanical engineering with demonstrated simulation experience, or demonstrated engineering research background
