What is a Modelica job?

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 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.

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.

Job description

Description
As a Simulation Engineer, you will be responsible for developing and maintaining high-fidelity simulations of space vehicle dynamics, sensors, actuators, and propulsion systems, with the potential to expand into other subsystems. You will work closely with GNC, software, and test teams to ensure accurate modeling and analysis to support design, verification, and mission planning efforts for Mira, Helios, and more. 

Responsibilities
  • Develop physics-based models of vehicle dynamics, reaction systems, propulsion systems, and other subsystems as needed. 
  • Integrate simulation framework into hardware-in-the-loop testbeds. 
  • Collaborate with engineers across disciplines to validate simulation models and behaviors against analysis and test data. 
  • Support system-level analysis, trade studies, and performance assessments. 
  • Contribute to software and tool development to improve simulation workflows. 
  • Provide simulation support for verification and validation of flight software. 
  • Participate in simulation reviews, test readiness reviews, and mission dress rehearsals. 


Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor’s degree in Aerospace Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Physics, Math, or a related field. 
  • 7+ years of experience in modeling and simulation of physical systems. 
  • Proficiency in C++ and Python. 
  • Strong understanding of dynamics, thermodynamics, and/or fluid mechanics. 
  • Experience with version control systems such as Git. 
  • Experience with LabView. 


Preferred Skills and Experience
  • Master’s degree or higher in a relevant field. 
  • Experience with space vehicle dynamics, propulsion, and/or thermal systems modeling. 
  • Familiarity with multi-disciplinary simulation tools (e.g., Modelica, Simscape, or Amesim). 
  • Experience with software-in-the-loop (SIL) or hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) testing environments. 
  • Ability to work in a fast-paced, collaborative environment and manage multiple priorities. 
  • Experience in developing with NI-DAQmx APIs. 

Additional Information:
Compensation bands are determined by role, level, location, and alignment with market data. Individual level and base pay is determined on a case-by-case basis and may vary based on job-related skills, education, experience, technical capabilities and internal equity.
