Plant Modeling Engineer

About This Role

Develop and validate mathematical and simulation models for real-world systems, with a focus on powertrain and dynamic system behavior. The role involves building, simulating, and optimizing plant models for control development, system validation, and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) testing, collaborating with controls, software, and systems engineers.

Responsibilities

• Develop and maintain plant models for mechanical, electrical, and powertrain systems
• Build and run simulations using MATLAB/Simulink to analyze system performance and dynamics
• Support HIL (Hardware-in-the-Loop) simulations for controller development and validation
• Integrate plant models with control algorithms and test environments
• Validate models against test data and refine them for accuracy and efficiency
• Document modeling assumptions, methodologies, and results clearly
• Collaborate cross-functionally with controls, software, and test teams

Requirements

• Strong experience in Plant Modeling and system-level simulation
• Hands-on experience with MATLAB/Simulink for modeling and simulation
• Experience with HIL simulations and real-time modeling environments
• Solid understanding of powertrain systems (ICE, hybrid, or electric)
• Background in system dynamics, control systems, or physical modeling
• Ability to analyze data, troubleshoot models, and improve fidelity

Qualifications

• Strong experience in Plant Modeling and system-level simulation

Nice to Have

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical, Electrical, Automotive, or related Engineering field
• Experience with real-time simulation tools (e.g., dSPACE, NI, Speedgoat, or similar)
• Familiarity with model-based design and V-cycle development
• Automotive, industrial, or embedded systems experience
