What does a Modeling Simulation Engineer do?

A Modeling Simulation Engineer develops virtual models and simulations to analyze complex systems and processes. They use mathematical models, computer simulations, and data analysis to predict system performance and optimize designs before physical implementation. These engineers typically work in industries like aerospace, defense, automotive, and healthcare to improve efficiency, safety, and decision-making. Their role often involves coding, algorithm development, and working with simulation software to test real-world scenarios in a virtual environment.

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

To thrive as a Modeling Simulation Engineer, you need a strong background in mathematics, physics, and computer science, typically supported by a relevant engineering or science degree. Proficiency with simulation software such as MATLAB, Simulink, ANSYS, or similar tools, and sometimes certifications in systems engineering or modeling methodologies, are commonly required. Strong analytical thinking, problem-solving abilities, and effective communication skills set top candidates apart. These qualifications are crucial for accurately representing complex systems, translating requirements into effective models, and collaborating with multidisciplinary teams to achieve project goals.

What are the typical responsibilities and project stages for a Modeling Simulation Engineer?

Modeling Simulation Engineers are responsible for developing mathematical models, running simulations, analyzing results, and providing recommendations to improve system performance or design. Projects often begin with understanding client or stakeholder requirements, followed by designing models based on those needs and iteratively refining them as data is collected. Engineers work closely with design, hardware, and software teams to validate models and ensure alignment with real-world performance. Collaborating with colleagues and presenting findings to both technical and non-technical audiences are routine aspects of the job, making cross-functional communication vital for project success.

Job description

About The Team
The Product Development Team at Gotion Illinois New Energy Inc. focuses on the design and development of advanced battery products for next-generation energy storage system (ESS) and electric vehicle (EV) applications. We lead the full product development cycle, integrating mechanical, electrical, thermal, and control system to create high-performance battery solutions, along with comprehensive system integration, validation, and certification activities.

Role Summary

As a Thermal Engineer - Battery Systems at Gotion Inc, you will play a pivotal role in leading the engineering decisions for battery cells, modules, packs, cooling plates, thermal propagation mitigation strategies in collaboration with US OEM customers and our internal design/simulation teams. This position requires a deep understanding of battery pack technology and a strong background in engineering project leadership. This position requires full-time onsite presence at the Manteno, IL location.

Essential Duties and Responsibilities:

  • Perform state-of-the-art Thermal/CFD simulations to analyze pressure drop, thermal efficiency, thermal propagation etc. of battery packs and module components to optimize the performance of next-generation EV battery systems
  • Collaborate with US OEM customers and the internal product development team to drive new pack designs from concept to mass production
  • Collaborate with offshore simulation team to manage end-to-end analysis processes, maintaining technical quality, efficiency, result analysis, alignment with project objectives and ensuring compliance with performance and quality standards
  • Prepare and present technical findings, design trade-offs, and recommended actions and report to the leadership team
  • Work closely with Product design, manufacturing, test, supply chain, quality etc. teams to provide simulation-driven design input. Handle supplier discussions
  • Correlate simulation outcomes with physical test data and update models to improve accuracy
  • Support DFMEA, Design reviews, Test and Validation team to lay out the plan for the DVP&R testing
  • Document CFD modeling approaches and simulation results, offering data-driven insights to assist design teams in improving thermal performance

Required Qualifications:

  • Master's degree in mechanical engineering or related technical field
