Simulation Engineer-CAT

Job Title: Simulation Engineer

Location: Mossville IL Building AC

Duration: Full time

Description

The ePowertrain Simulation Engineer working in the ePowertrain NPI simulation team works closely with the ePowertrain component and subsystem teams (powersource power electronics motors and controls) to simulate the ePowertrain system performance for a particular ePowertrain configuration. This role will be responsible for executing ePowertrain NPI simulation requests and communicating results and/or learning. This role will also work with the ePowertrain simulation team to document our core simulation processes and ensure that he/she follows these processes. This role will help in developing new simulation capabilities that are necessary to predict ePowertrain system performance and durability.
