We are seeking a Plant Modeling and Simulation Engineer to develop, validate, and maintain high-quality plant models supporting XIL, virtual validation, and system integration activities. This role focuses on building scalable, reusable models across multiple vehicle domains and ensuring alignment with system-level requirements and verification workflows.
The engineer will work closely with cross-functional teams including system design, architecture, controls, and testing organizations to enable efficient virtual development and validation using model-based techniques.
This role is ideal for engineers who:
* Enjoy deep technical work in modeling and simulation
* Want to contribute to system-level development and validation
* Are building toward technical leadership or system architecture roles
Key Responsibilities:
Plant Model Development
* Develop and maintain 0D/1D plant models representing physical systems (e.g., propulsion, chassis, ADAS, infotainment).
* Ensure models meet appropriate fidelity levels depending on development phase (concept, design, integration, validation).
* Perform model validation and correlation against requirements and test data.
* Support model reduction and optimization for simulation efficiency.
Model-Based Development Support
* Integrate plant models into XIL workflows and environments.
* Support virtual testing, requirement validation, and system verification activities.
* Collaborate with controls and system engineers to ensure alignment between plant models and control strategies.
* Contribute to continuous integration pipelines for model development and validation.
Collaboration & Integration
* Work with:
* System and functional design teams
* Architecture and simulation framework teams
* Testing and validation teams
* Suppliers and tool vendors
* Ensure plant models:
* Are compatible with simulation platforms
* Support cross-domain integration
* Enable efficient data exchange and reuse
Model Quality & Governance
* Follow established modeling best practices and standards
* Participate in:
* Model reviews
* Quality checks and validation processes
* Maintain:
* Model documentation
* Version control and configuration management
Continuous Improvement
* Support initiatives to improve:
* Model fidelity and performance
* Reusability and scalability
* Simulation efficiency
* Contribute to tool evaluation, benchmarking, and process enhancements
Basic Qualifications:
* Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering , Computer Engineering, or related field
* A minimum of 5 years of experience in plant modeling, simulation, or V&V environments
* Strong understanding of Model-Based Development (MBD) and virtual testing methods
* Experience with MATLAB/Simulink or similar modeling tools
* Knowledge of physical system modeling (0D/1D)
* Strong problem-solving and analytical skills
* Knowledge of CI/CD tools and methods
* Experience in one scripting language
Preferred Qualifications:
* Experience in automotive OEM
* Familiarity with xIL environments (MIL/SIL/HIL)
* Understanding of automotive V&V processes and standards
* Experience with:
* Model validation and correlation
* Variant/configuration management
* Version control systems
* Domain experience in:
* Propulsion
* ADAS
* Chassis
* Infotainment
Key Competencies:
* Strong collaboration and communication skills
* Ability to work in cross-functional teams
* Attention to detail and commitment to model quality
* Adaptability to Agile development environments
