Senior Simulation Engineer Jobs in Michigan (NOW HIRING)

Every day, our products move millions of peopleas we aim to makedriving safer, smarter, and more connected, shaping the future of transportation on a global scale.

The Role

The Senior Analysis Engineer is responsible for planning, developing, and executing one-dimensional models of electrical components, subsystems, and full vehicle architectures for 12V/48V electrical systems. This role requires a deep understanding of vehicle-level electrical systems and proficiency in simulation tools such as Synopsys Saber. The senior analysis engineer is also required to have experience is co-simulation and software in the loop (SiL) modeling using tools like Matlab, Simulink and Simscape. The analysis engineer needs to closely work with suppliers to get high fidelity 12V component models (e.g battery, IBS, aggregator, CCU etc).

The analysis engineer will create systems model, perform simulation, interpret and present simulation results to stakeholders at critical program milestones. Analysis engineer will be required to interact cross functionally with a wide variety of engineering teams (Electrical Architects, Co-simulation teams, Validation, Calibration and Design Release Engineers) to deliver standard work, perform root cause analysis, compare analytical results to tests, identify analytical gaps and lead capability projects to close these gaps.

What You'll Do

• Lead effort to develop new analysis capabilities for 12V/48V electrical systems including, but not limited to, developing 12V battery model, 12V distribution model, aggregator model and other electrical components on the vehicle

• Develop physics-based models for co-sim and software in the loop effort

• Develop vehicle electrical and battery electro-thermal models to support virtual controls for Co-Sim and calibration initiatives

• Perform standard analysis to deliver design solutions which are robust and reliable utilizing optimization and statistical methods when appropriate

• Collaborate with global analysis engineers to ensure on time delivery of high-quality results

• Lead and conduct peer reviews of analysis results prior to delivery to the product team

• Work collaboratively with Electrical Architects, SiL teams and component hardware design teams to ensure system requirements are met, design concepts are evaluated, and development and validation plans are successful

• Collaborate with other CAE teams to capture and integrate higher fidelity models into electrical system models

• Support critical vehicle program gates with technical reviews (PPDRs, VVAs, Peer Reviews)

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
