Job Description
This is a fulltime position with a full benefit package listed below that includesopportunitiesfor professional growth direct hire by our customers and additional opportunities within our own organization.
Simulation Engineer System Dynamics
This position requires aptitude in support of Dynamic Systems Modeling (DSM) and analysis as it pertains to whole machine configurations. Through the creation refinement and of system models this position will provide analytical support to product development and design.
Job Description
- Provide direct analytical support for one or more product groups.
- Develop a growing understanding of product function.
- Lead in the development of measurable dynamic performance specifications using simulation and other engineering analysis methods.
- Work with design teams to develop virtual simulation models that can be used to verify designs analytically.
- Develop dynamic system analysis plans for specific product development programs.
- Report results using a standardizedreporting system.
- Document processes that can be used to continually improve our ability to analytically develop and verify our product designs.
- Contribute to Product and Component Technical Specifications Design Guidelines and Engineering Analysis Procedures.
- Create and maintain vehicle dynamic models using Matlab Simulink and Simscape programs.
Technical Responsibilities
- Understandthe dynamic interactions of hydraulic systems linkages rigid bodies engines drivetrains and control systems.
- Supportthe development of robust control strategies for product innovation and differentiation.
- UseEngineering analysis tools to assess complex hydroelectromechanical systems.
- Maintain models using programming languages and concepts like Object Oriented Programming.
- Contributeto the specification/selection of components and subsystems for optimal machine level performance.
- Generateobjective machine level dynamic performance objectives that capture ambiguous and/or subjective operator and customer feedback.
- Supportthe vision for how analysis tools can change the way Design and PV&V Engineering work is done.
- Resolve stability issues that can arise from the above but that cannot be analyzed using linear theory due to the nonlinear nature of both the primitive elements and the subsystem and machine level interactions.
- Generatemathematical models for previously unmodeled phenomena.
- Analyzesimulation results to distinguish between characteristics of the design and artifacts of the mathematical models.
Requirements
- Bachelors of Science in Mechanical Mechatronics SystemsEngineering Physics or equivalent degree.
- Masters of Sciencewith a related concentration in System Dynamics would be ideal.
- Strong interest in vehicle physics and free body diagrams.
- Experience with hydraulics controls powertrain and electrical systems beneficial.
- Experience with MATLAB Simscape Simulink Simscape Fluids Simscape Multibodyis desirable.
- Experience in a production environment working with cross functional teams.
- Experience with operatingagriculture equipment or offhighway mobile equipment.
- Experience with Matlab Simulink and Simscape or other vehicle dynamics simulation software (i.e. Ansys Motion GTSuite GT3DMBD Vehicle Dynamics) is preferred
- Ideal candidate will have 13years of related work experience but entry level being considered.
Visa sponsorship is NOT available for this position.
