Model Based Design Engineer information

What is a model based design engineer?

Model Based Design Engineers are professionals who use mathematical and visual modeling techniques to design, simulate, and validate complex engineering systems. They typically work with tools like MATLAB/Simulink to create virtual prototypes, test control algorithms, and reduce the need for physical prototypes. This approach helps speed up the development process, improve accuracy, and lower costs, especially in industries like automotive, aerospace, and electronics.

What are some common challenges model based design engineers face when integrating models into existing embedded systems?

Model Based Design Engineers often encounter challenges when integrating simulation models into legacy embedded systems, as these systems may have hardware or software constraints not accounted for in the initial model. Ensuring model fidelity while optimizing for real-time performance and memory usage requires careful design and iterative testing. Collaboration with firmware and hardware teams is crucial to address compatibility issues and streamline deployment. Adopting standardized modeling practices and maintaining clear documentation can help mitigate integration risks and facilitate smoother handoffs between teams.

What is the difference between Model Based Design Engineer vs Simulation Engineer?

AspectModel Based Design EngineerSimulation Engineer
CredentialsBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, certifications in MATLAB/SimulinkBachelor's or Master's in Engineering, experience with simulation tools
Work EnvironmentDesign labs, software development, automotive/ aerospace industriesResearch labs, testing environments, aerospace/automotive sectors
Industry UsageDevelops models for control systems, embedded softwareCreates simulations to test systems, validate designs

The main difference is that Model Based Design Engineers focus on creating and implementing models for system development, often using tools like MATLAB/Simulink, while Simulation Engineers primarily develop and run simulations to validate and test these models or systems. Both roles require strong technical skills and often overlap, but their core responsibilities differ in focus and application.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a model based design engineer?

To thrive as a Model Based Design Engineer, you need a strong background in control theory, embedded systems, and proficiency in modeling and simulation, typically supported by an engineering degree. Expertise with tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and experience with software version control systems are commonly required, along with relevant certifications like MATLAB certification. Strong analytical thinking, attention to detail, and effective communication skills help in translating real-world requirements into accurate models and collaborating with cross-functional teams. These skills ensure efficient development and validation of complex systems, minimizing errors and reducing development time.

Job description

Salary: Depends on Experience

Mechanical Design Engineer

07 Years Experience | Racing & Performance Products

Location: On-Site


Design the Parts That Help Racers Win

At AFCO, you'll help develop components used on race cars competing across the country. From concept through production, you'll design products that improve performance, reliability, manufacturability, and cost effectiveness.

If you enjoy solving mechanical problems, working closely with manufacturing, and seeing your designs become real products, we'd like to meet you.


What You'll Do

  • Design mechanical components and assemblies using Creo.
  • Create 3D models, engineering drawings, and bills of material.
  • Apply GD&T, Design for Manufacturing (DFM), and sound engineering principles to develop robust, manufacturable products.
  • Develop new products and improve existing designs while leveraging existing product platforms, components, and design standards when appropriate.
  • Design complex assemblies with proper tolerancing, fit, function, durability, and serviceability in mind.
  • Support prototype development, testing, validation, and production launches.
  • Design tooling, fixtures, and manufacturing aids.
  • Work directly with our CNC machine shop, fabrication teams, production personnel, and quality team to optimize designs and solve manufacturing challenges.
  • Investigate product and manufacturing issues using structured root-cause analysis and implement sustainable corrective actions.
  • Drive projects forward by identifying risks, removing roadblocks, and collaborating across departments to ensure successful execution.


What You'll Bring

  • Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or Mechanical Engineering Technology.
  • 07 years of engineering experience.
  • Experience with Creo and mechanical product design.
  • Strong understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings, materials, and mechanical design fundamentals.
  • Familiarity with CNC machining, fabrication, assembly, and manufacturing processes.
  • Knowledge of DFM principles, tolerance stack-up, and design validation methods.
  • Strong problem-solving, communication, and organizational skills.
  • Ability to work independently, take ownership of projects, and collaborate effectively with cross-functional teams.
  • Desire to learn, contribute, and become a trusted technical resource.

Motorsports experience is a plus but not required.


Why You'll Like It Here

This isn't a job where your designs disappear into a computer.

You'll work closely with engineers, machinists, fabricators, assemblers, and quality professionals to develop products from concept through production. You'll gain hands-on experience, take on meaningful responsibility early, and see the products you helped create being used by racers across the country.


Ready to Build Something That Matters?

If you're looking for an engineering career where your work becomes real products and your ideas can make a difference, we'd love to hear from you. Bring your curiosity. Bring your work ethic. Bring your desire to learn.

We'll provide the opportunity to build products racers trustone part at a time.
