Worcester Polytechnic Institute - WPIJOB DESCRIPTION SUMMARY
This position is in the Mechanical and Materials Engineering (MME) and works with the Autonomous Vehicle Mobility Institute (AVMI). This position is to support applied research on the development and application of off-road autonomous vehicle dynamics simulation.JOB DESCRIPTION
This position involves working with an interdisciplinary team of world-class engineers students and scientists in the area of autonomous vehicles dynamics simulation. The Research Engineer is expected to lead and contribute to:
- Support for Sound Simulation and Acoustical Modeling: Collaborate with the audio research team to integrate vehicle noise vibration and harshness (NVH) analysis into real-time simulation platforms. Assist with collecting processing and managing vehicle telemetry data (e.g. RPM torque acceleration terrain interaction) to drive dynamic sound models that accurately reflect vehicle states and environments.
- Autonomous Driving System: Real-Time Control of Maneuver and Energy Efficiency and Dynamic Path Planning Strategy Based Visual Sensoring
- Assessment and Virtualization of Tire-Soil Interactions for Real-Time Evaluation and Control of Autonomous Vehicle Mobility
- Multi-Domain Modeling Hardware Prototyping and Experimental Research with application to rotation sensors and electric motors for electric vehicles
- Fully Electric Virtual Vehicle Demonstrator with Distributed Driveline and Suspension Systems
- Electrically-Driven Wheel Locomotion Module Virtual Demonstrator with Agile Sensoring
- Mobility and Energy Efficiency Improvement of An Unmanned Ground Vehicle with Individually Controlled Wheels
- Robotic Manipulators: Modeling and control
- Develop proper documentation for reporting to the Department of Defense.
- Presenting results in conferences and publishing technical paper
