Modeling and Simulation Engineer
12+ Month Contract
100% Remote
US Citizenship Required
Overview
The principal activity will be to conduct, under the supervision of senior personnel, vehicle dynamics modeling, simulation, and analysis of systems and sub systems for current and next generation commercial and military ground vehicles.
Vehicle dynamics modeling tasks, under the supervision of senior personnel, will consist of development of virtual models to represent designs or existing vehicles, simulation setup, simulation conduct, analysis of results, and to support adjustment and validation of the models through proving ground test.
Vehicle systems requiring modeling and simulation include: chassis, suspension, steering, power train, brakes.
These individuals will be involved in the development and analysis of components, systems, and/or complete vehicles.
Projects include modifications and improvements to existing vehicles, as well as development and evaluation (virtual and real world) of complete vehicle prototypes.
Essential Functions:
Closely work with a senior modeling and simulation engineer to advance skillset and provide assistance with modeling and simulation tasks.
Development of virtual vehicle and subsystem models
Physical measurements of existing vehicles and subsystems using scanners and other measurement devices.
Create test plans for quantification of sub-components and conduct tests, i.E. Measurement of bushing force-deflection curves. Process data to develop lookup table files.
Measurement of CAD hard points and other outputs (component mass, mass moments of inertia etc.) to support virtual vehicle modeling. Exporting CAD files, integration of geometry into the modeling and simulation environment
Definition of hard points, connections, kinematics, mass properties, and vehicle components (engine, struts, tires, track systems etc.).
Setup virtual vehicle test runs
Setup of vehicle model parameterized values-weight, CG, tire pressure, driveline locks, track tension etc.
Course definition-topography, path, soil conditions.
Modification of driver controller to maintain selected path.
Simulation conduct
Selection of solver settings.
Debugging of failed runs.
Creation of batch files to allow overnight runs.
Analysis and presentation of results
Utilization of data processing tools within the modeling and simulation software suite, and scripts developed by NATC for data processing.
Exporting of data for further analysis, or transfer to data processing personnel.
Processing of data using excel, or other commercial data processing tools.
Creation of graphs, video clips, and photos for reports.
Report development and review.
Task management and status briefings.
Other duties as assigned.
Marginal Functions:
Perform or observe tests in the field in extreme temperature and/or environmental conditions to support modeling and simulation efforts.
Operate Company vehicles in support of test operations.
Support prototype equipment build.
Minimum Qualifications:
Bachelor's degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering, related field, or equivalent work experience combined with college degree in associated field.
Strong interpersonal skills.
Experience with MS Word, Excel, PowerPoint.
Strong organizational and time management skills.
Strong verbal and written communication skills to support field reports/briefings.
Ability to manage multiple tasks and projects.
Preferred Qualifications:
Master's degree in Mechanical or Automotive Engineering
Knowledge of automotive fundamentals and vehicle systems
Experience with Pro/ENGINEER or similar modeling software packages
Experience with 3D scanning tools and software for generating point clouds, surface models, and parametric CAD geometry.
Experience with ADAMS, DADS, or similar dynamic analysis software packages
Experience with Nastran or similar general purpose FEA software packages
Familiar with Dytran, LS-DYNA, or similar software packages for analyzing complex nonlinear behavior
Experience with Matlab and Simulink
