Overview
Job Title: Electrical Engineer V – Simulation (Electrified Powertrain Systems)
Duration: Long Term
Job Description: This role leads simulation-driven assessment of electric machines, power electronics, and battery systems—centered on system-level performance, energy, and thermal analysis across electrified drivetrains. Highly technical and cross-functional; not manufacturing-focused.
Responsibilities
- Translate machine load conditions, torque/speed curves, and duty cycles into energy consumption , thermal performance , and system-level metrics for electrified drivetrains.
- Model and analyze electric machines & motor drives , power electronics (inverters/converters, IGBTs/MOSFETs , junction temperature, thermal margins), and battery systems (SOC dynamics, charge/discharge impacts).
- Evaluate range of electrical output and load calculations ; conduct thermal analysis of high‑power systems (hundreds of kW to MW).
- Integrate results across motor–power electronics–battery subsystems and quantify tradeoffs in performance, efficiency, cost, and mass .
- Support machine control and system performance assessments using simulation.
- Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to obtain/validate inputs, review results, and inform program decisions.
- Use internal proprietary tools alongside commercial software.
Must-Haves / Qualifications
- BS in Electrical Engineering - 10+ years relevant experience.
- Proven experience with electrified powertrain systems simulation and power conversion analysis.
- Thermal applications/analysis across electric machines, power electronics, and batteries.
- Battery and power electronics expertise (energy storage + conversion).
- Strong analytical skills and engineering judgment—able to interpret results, not just run models.
Top 3 Priorities
- Simulation tools expertise: MATLAB/Simulink , ANSYS (incl. CFD ), SimPro
- Cross‑team collaboration and communication
- Detailed power conversion analysis ; thermal experience highly desirable
Nice-to-Haves
- ANSYS Maxwell (electromagnetics); CFD/thermal (steady & transient)
- Battery modeling and system‑level energy analysis
- Programming not required , but MATLAB scripting/integration is a plus
