Simulation Analysis Engineer

Primary Purpose

The Analysis/Simulation Engineer plays an important role in advancing the design and performance of internal combustion engines (ICE), through simulation, modeling, and data-driven analysis. This position leverages 1-D, CFD, FEA, and machine learning tools to optimize system behavior, reduce emissions, and improve product reliability across a range of applications.

Major Responsibilities

• Perform system-level and component-level simulations using 1-D tools such as GT-SUITE, Matlab/Simulink, Converge, and Ansys Fluent to support engine and generator design and development.
• Conduct CFD and FEA analyses to evaluate thermal, structural, and fluid dynamics performance of mechanical and energy systems.
• Conduct in-cylinder combustion analysis using Converge to aid in optimizing the power cylinder design for combustion efficiency and thermal management.
• Interpret simulation results and collaborate with cross-functional teams through design reviews and technical discussions to guide product development.
• Contribute to the development of modeling workflows and analysis best practices to improve efficiency and accuracy.
• Document analysis objectives, methods, and results using standardized reporting formats.
• Apply data analysis techniques, including Matlab/Simulink modeling, Python-based scripting and machine learning, to support predictive modeling and performance forecasting.
• Stay informed on relevant technologies, tools, and industry trends to support continuous improvement.

Education

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, Computer Science, or a related field of study.

Work Experience

• 3 years of experience in a Simulation Engineer, Analysis Engineer, or a related engineering discipline.
• 3 years of hands-on experience with 1-D simulation with GT-SUITE.
• 2 years of experience applying MATLAB/Simulink and Python in engineering analysis and simulation.
• 1 year of hands-on experience with GT-xCHEM or CHEMKIN as applied to engine aftertreatment system modeling.

Knowledge / Skills / Abilities

• Proficiency in applying 1-D and 3-D CFD tools to internal combustion engine related systems, including thermal management, lubrication system, crankcase ventilation, combustions phasing, camshaft design, turbochargers, exhaust gas recirculation, and exhaust aftertreatment.
• Experienced in simulating in-cylinder combustion using Converge.
• Experience with co-simulation environments, including Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL).
• Familiarity with machine learning and predictive analytics techniques applied to engine performance and emissions modeling.
• Familiarity with internal combustion engine exhaust aftertreatment system design and specification.
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a deep understanding of internal combustion engine design, operation, and testing.
• Strong written and verbal communication skills with the ability to clearly interpret and present complex simulation results to technical and non-technical audiences.
