What is a Modelica?

A Modelica job typically involves developing, simulating, and analyzing system models using the Modelica language. Modelica is an object-oriented, equation-based language used for modeling complex physical systems, including mechanical, electrical, thermal, and fluid dynamics. Professionals in this field work in industries such as automotive, aerospace, and energy to create and optimize system designs. They often use tools like OpenModelica, Dymola, or Wolfram SystemModeler to perform simulations and improve system performance.

What kinds of projects might I work on as a Modelica specialist?

As a Modelica specialist, you'll often be involved in creating and simulating dynamic models for systems such as automotive powertrains, HVAC systems, energy systems, robotics, or industrial processes. Your daily responsibilities may include collaborating with engineers and researchers to define model requirements, developing and testing complex simulation models, and analyzing simulation results to support product development or optimization. The work is typically project-based and may involve close teamwork with mechanical, electrical, or software engineers. This diverse project exposure not only keeps the work interesting but also provides broad experience applicable to many engineering sectors. Over time, successful Modelica specialists can advance into lead modeling roles or systems architecture positions.

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

To thrive as a Modelica specialist (Modelica Engineer or Simulation Engineer), you need a solid background in engineering, physics, or applied mathematics, along with expertise in modeling and simulation using the Modelica language. Familiarity with simulation tools like Dymola, OpenModelica, or Wolfram SystemModeler, and possibly certifications in systems modeling, are typically important. Strong problem-solving, analytical thinking, and effective communication skills help distinguish top candidates in this field. These qualifications are crucial for developing accurate dynamic models and working efficiently in multidisciplinary engineering teams.

Key responsibilities

  • Review and understand existing Modelica models related to the IBAL project.

  • Identify parameters that need to be tuned and modify or develop models accordingly.

  • Add Guideline 36 controllers to the Modelica model and present results at meetings.

Job description

This position is part of the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Professional Research Experience Program (PREP). NIST recognizes that its research staff may want to collaborate with researchers at academic institutions on specific projects of mutual interest and, therefore, requires those institutions to be recipients of a PREP award. The PREP program involves staff from a wide range of backgrounds conducting scientific research across various fields. Individuals in this position will perform technical work supporting the collaboration's scientific research.
Research Title: Modelica Modeling in Support of a Building Digital Twin
The work will entail: NIST has several projects related to digital twins in the built environment. These projects are developing the infrastructure needed to ease the development and deployment of digital twins and inform existing and future standards. The Intelligent Building Agents Laboratory (IBAL) is being used in these efforts. A Modelica model was developed for the IBAL, but this model needs to be improved and updated so that it can be used to demonstrate the full physical-digital twin workflow. Guideline 36 controllers need to be added to the model, and the parameters that will be tuned to align the digital twin with the physical twin need to be identified. Some of these parameters are not tunable when the model is converted to an FMU for co-simulation, so some models will need to be modified or developed to make those parameters available after the FMU has been compiled.
U.S. Citizen Preferred
Key responsibilities will include but are not limited to:
  • Reviewing and understanding the existing models.
  • Identifying the parameters that need to be tuned.
  • Modifying and developing new models as needed.
  • Adding Guideline 36 controllers to the model.
  • Presenting results at internal meetings, and occasional meetings with external stakeholders.
  • Ensuring that results, protocols, software, and documentation have been archived or otherwise transmitted to the larger organization.

Qualifications
  • An undergraduate degree in Computer Science or Engineering.
  • Experience with Modelica modeling using the Buildings library.
  • Preferred experience with Modelica modeling in OpenModelica.
  • Preferred experience with FMUs and co-simulation in Python.
  • Strong oral and written communication skills.
