The Modeling and Simulation Engineer III will support product development through the integration of simulation tools. This role will define and validate system-level requirements of mechanical systems, develop and execute simulation plans, correlate virtual models with physical test data, and assess system performance against program objectives.

ESSENTIAL FUNCTIONS AND SKILLS: Typical responsibilities include but are not limited to the following:

• Lead development and performance analysis of programs using virtual analysis workflows and co-simulation tools to meet technical requirements and program timing.
• Drive innovation in virtual simulation tools and methods.
• Architect, develop and execute virtual models capable of integrating hardware and software for a wide variety of mechanical systems.
• Develop and integrate multi-physics simulation tools (multi-body dynamics, 1-D hydraulics, controls, etc) to calibrate and validate software and hardware.
• Create and deploy functional mock-up units, FMUs, and other reduced-order or interface models for use by cross-functional teams.
• Develop durability requirements, load cases, acceptance criteria, and verification plans for components and systems.
• Build, run, and correlate rigid and flexible multibody dynamics models to predict loads, damage, motions, and other performance metrics.
• Work cross-functionally with design, test, materials, and systems teams to improve durability performance and close gaps between requirements, analysis, and validation.
• Document assumptions, methods, correlation results, and engineering recommendations.
• Generate clear, concise technical reports and effectively communicate findings to internal teams and customers
• Operate effectively in a dynamic, fast-paced environment while driving progress across multidisciplinary teams

ADDITIONAL REQUIREMENTS: In addition to the responsibilities mentioned above, tasks relating to the following area will be assigned as required.

• Ability to work effectively in a collaborative, team-oriented environment
• Strong time management and organizational skills
• Effective communication across multiple platforms (Microsoft Teams, email, phone, messaging)
• Reliable transportation and consistent attendance
• Demonstrated strong work ethic and accountability for deliverables
• Commitment to quality and continuous improvement

EDUCATION/CERTIFICATION/YEARS OF EXPERIENCE:

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.
• 5+ years of experience with simulation tools and co-simulation.

SPECIALIZED SKILLS AND KNOWLEDGE:

• Hands-on experience with one or more MBD tools such as Adams, MotionSolve, Simscape Multibody, Simpack, or equivalent.
• Working knowledge of 1-D simulation tools (Simscape, Dymola, AmeSim)
• Proficiency in Python, C++, CLI or similar tools
• Understanding of control systems.
• Experience with Matlab and Simulink
• Knowledge of Desing of Experiments (DOE) methods, and data interpretation.
• Ability to process and analyze test data using signal-processing techniques.
• Knowledge of data acquisition (DAQ) systems and mechanical system instrumentation.
• Capability to work independently with limited supervision
• Demonstrated ability to identify and recommend improvements to engineering processes and workflows
• Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills

PHYSICAL DEMANDS:

• Up to 20% travel required (domestic and international)
• Hands-on involvement with test hardware, including installation and adjustments in shop or wind tunnel environments
• Ability to lift and move components or equipment up to 50 lbs.

EXPECTED HOURS OF WORK:

• Typical start time between 7:00 AM – 8:00 AM, Monday through Friday
• Flexibility required to meet project deadlines, including occasional weekend work
