• Simulate and interpretcombustion processes,heat transfer,cold start behavior, andcatalyst heatingstrategies.
• Provide component-level and/or system-level design recommendations to Design Responsible Engineers based on interpretation of analysis results
• Exercise analytical models for fuel preparation and mixture motion analysis including equivalence ratio and wall wetting
• Model and analyzefuel injector behavior,spray atomization,spray-wall interaction, andmixture preparation.
• Exercise analytical models for in-cylinder combustion analysis using 3D CFD codes such as Star-CD, Converge, AVL-Fire, or in-house proprietary software
• Enhance current standard analysis practices and/or tools to improve prediction fidelity and/or execution speed
• Participate in product design and development teams and regularly present analysis results to engineering peers and management
• Document analysis objectives, conclusions, results, and assumptions using a standard report template
• Cooperatively work with test engineers to enhance laboratory procedures to support the development of first-time capable analysis techniques
