- Minimum 5 years of industrial experience in multi-body dynamics (MBD) analysis of electric or hybrid powertrain.
- Proven expertise with MBD simulation tools (e.g. Simpack, MSC Adams etc).
- Strong understanding of powertrain systems and their kinematic and dynamic interactions.
- Experience with NVH, durability and vibration analysis.
- Familiarity with finite element analysis (FEA) and modal analysis to deal with flexible bodies
- Proficient in scripting languages (e.g., Python, MATLAB) for simulation automation.
- Exposure to AI/ML application in CAE domain
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills.
- Excellent communication and technical documentation abilities.

Desired:

- Experience with structural and thermal co-simulation with MBD simulations (e.g., MBD and Simulink).
- Familiarity with vehicle system-level simulation tools (e.g., CarSim, AMESim)
- Knowledge of vehicle dynamics and control systems.
- Knowledge of drivetrain efficiency, gear dynamics, and torsional vibration.
- Exposure to electric powertrains and hybrid systems.
- Experience with data acquisition, data processing and test correlation.
- Knowledge about the implementation of a data-driven framework in different aspects of virtual simulations for faster and more efficient product development cycles.
- Basic proficiency with CAD software such as 3DExperience, CATIA, or Unigraphics (UG/NX)
- Basic Knowledge about Electric Powertrain systems, components, and assembly testing: test standards and specifications, rig setup, execution, and correlation.

Key Responsibilities:

- Develop and validate multi-body dynamic (MBD) models of powertrain systems, including the engine, driveline, and transmission (EDU).
- Perform simulations to evaluate durability, drivability and NVH (Noise, Vibration & Harshness) behavior of powertrain components subjected to different vehicle operating conditions
- Collaborate with design, testing, and controls teams to optimize system performance and reliability.
- Analyze test data and correlate with simulation results to improve model accuracy.
- Support root cause analysis of powertrain-related issues using Model-Based Design (MBD) tools.
- Document simulation methodologies, results, and recommendations in technical reports.
- Contribute to the development of simulation best practices and automation tools.
- Develop testing plans to validate the simulated outputs and physical interpretation of results to come up with design recommendations for product enhancement.
- Perform design trade-off and robustness studies for several design iterations during development phases of a product.
