Job description

Software Engineer: Simulation Tools and Models

Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) is currently looking for a Software Engineer at our Superior Township, MI facility.

Our Team

The Core Model Development Team is a part of the Vehicle Architecture and Powertrain Matching (VA&M) Department of the Advanced Engineering Lab (AEL) which focuses on the definition of critical powertrain requirements and advanced concept development for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis products. We develop analysis tools and models to support these studies. We also manage and acquire component data to feed into the model.

The Position

The Software engineer will develop simulation tools and models to support AEL fuel economy, linear acceleration, and grade performance studies. While there may be the occasional need to develop or debug Simulink frameworks the software engineer will be focused on automation tools, GUI development, deploying models to a server, and developing automated software test pipelines.

WHAT YOU WILL DO
  • Develop the core model infrastructure and framework using MATLAB, Simulink, Python, and other languages as needed.
  • Develop user interfaces for the tool using modern frameworks such as ReactJS.
  • Support the deployment of the core model to a High Performance Computing (HPC) cluster.
  • Establish, maintain, and follow version control and software validation procedures for the core model, component subsystems, and tool infrastructure
  • Write clear documentation and development standards for users and developers
  • Explore and apply AI/ML technologies to both the model and the development process.
  • Prepare and present technical reports on key project milestones/achievements and provide actionable insights and recommendations for product improvements.
  • Foster communication and collaboration between model users, developers, and stakeholders.
  • Travel both domestically and internationally, as required (up to 15%).
WHAT YOU WILL BRING TO THE ROLE

Basic Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree in computer engineering, computer science, mechanical engineering, or related field.
  • Experience in simulation, software, or controls development.
  • Foundational knowledge of automotive powertrains and related subsystems.
  • Experience developing tools and models in MATLAB, Simulink, Python, JavaScript, or other programming languages.
  • Ability to clearly explain technical topics to both technical and non-technical collaborators.
  • Valid Driver's License with a satisfactory driving record

Preferred Qualifications

  • 3+ years of engineering experience in simulation, software, or controls development
  • 2+ years of experience working on large scale simulation platforms developed in MATLAB/Simulink
  • Proficiency with version control systems such as GitHub or GitLab
  • Familiarity with multi-domain and thermal simulation using GT-Suite
  • Experience leveraging HPC technologies, Linux, and AI/ML
WHAT HYUNDAI CAN OFFER YOU
  • Zero-dollar Employee Premiums on Medical, Dental, and Vision for You and Your Family
  • 100% Employer-paid Disability and Life Insurance
  • Generous Paid Time Off Including Vacation, Sick, and Abundant Holidays
  • Competitive Salaries
  • A Global Environment that Fosters Diversity
  • Retirement Savings and Planning Benefits
  • Access to Health Savings Accounts and Flexible Spending Accountsย 
  • Flexible Work Hours
OTHER DETAILS
  • Candidates applying for positions with Hyundai KIA must be legally authorized to work in the United States. Verification of employment eligibility will be required at the time of hire.
    • HATCI is an Equal Opportunity Employer including Disabled and Veteran. VEVRM Federal contractor.
