About the role

Job Description:

  • Develop, validate, and maintain high-quality plant models supporting XIL, virtual validation, and system integration activities.
  • Build scalable, reusable models across multiple vehicle domains and ensure alignment with system-level requirements and verification workflows.
  • Collaborate with system design, architecture, controls, and testing organizations to enable virtual development and validation using model-based techniques.
  • Perform deep technical work in modeling and simulation, contribute to system-level development and validation, and build toward technical leadership or system architecture roles.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Develop and maintain 0D/1D plant models representing physical systems such as propulsion, chassis, ADAS, and infotainment.
  • Ensure models meet appropriate fidelity levels across concept, design, integration, and validation phases.
  • Perform model validation and correlation against requirements and test data.
  • Support model reduction and optimization for simulation efficiency.
  • Integrate plant models into XIL workflows and environments.
  • Support virtual testing, requirement validation, and system verification activities.
  • Collaborate with controls and system engineers to align plant models with control strategies.
  • Contribute to continuous integration pipelines for model development and validation.
  • 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, and enable efficient data exchange and reuse.
  • Follow established modeling best practices and standards.
  • Participate in model reviews, quality checks, and validation processes.
  • Maintain model documentation, version control, and configuration management.
  • Support improvements to model fidelity and performance, reusability and scalability, and simulation efficiency.
  • Contribute to tool evaluation, benchmarking, and process enhancements.

Requirements / Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechanical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  • A minimum of 3 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 an 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, and version control systems.
  • Domain experience in propulsion, ADAS, chassis, or 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.

Additional Requirements:

  • All candidates selected for employment will be required to successfully complete a pre-employment drug screening as a condition of hire.
