Requirements

  • BS in Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering or Controls engineering
  • 5+ yrs of engineering experience in design, analysis or testing of 12V/48V electrical system or components
  • Proficient in Synopsys Saber simulator, MAST modeling language, and electrical data analysis tools including MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape
  • Skilled in developing models for Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) simulations
  • Experience with FMUs (Functional Mockup Unit) and co-simulation
  • Hands-on experience with Charge Balance, Fail-Operational, Bus Integrity, Short Circuit and other 12V/48V Component Sizing simulations
  • Strong foundation in engineering principles related to electric circuit analysis, electronics, electromagnetics, electric drive systems, control systems, and digital signal processing
  • Experienced in analytical modeling of electric generators, batteries, heating and cooling systems, lighting systems, and electronic controllers
  • Experience in applying Artificial Intelligence

Responsibilities

  • 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)
  • Plan, develop, and execute one-dimensional models of electrical components, subsystems, and full vehicle architectures for 12V/48V electrical systems
  • Closely work with suppliers to get high fidelity 12V component models (e.g battery, IBS, aggregator, CCU etc)
  • Create systems model, perform simulation, interpret and present simulation results to stakeholders at critical program milestones
  • 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
