• Perform virtual validation of powertrain functions against vehicle-level requirements.
• Analyze system performance related to fuel economy, emissions, thermal management, drivability, and energy consumption.
• Develop control logic and algorithms using Simulink and Stateflow.
• Correlate simulation results with test data and support model calibration activities.
• Conduct sensitivity studies, trade-off analyses, and optimization exercises.
• Generate simulation reports and present technical findings to customers and stakeholders.
• Support model integration, MIL/SIL/HIL activities, and automation of simulation workflows.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams including calibration, controls, vehicle integration, and testing teams.

Required Skills

• Strong knowledge of MATLAB, Simulink, Stateflow, and Simscape.
• Experience in powertrain system modeling and simulation.
• Understanding of IC engines, transmissions, hybrid and electric vehicle architectures.
• Experience with vehicle performance, fuel economy, and energy management simulations.
• Good analytical and troubleshooting skills.
• Knowledge of control systems and model-based development processes.
• Experience in automation using MATLAB scripting.

Preferred Skills

• Experience with CALSim or equivalent powertrain simulation tools.
• Exposure to MIL, SIL, and HIL validation methods.
• Understanding of OBD, emissions, thermal management, and calibration processes.
• Familiarity with ISO 26262 and automotive development processes.
