Senior Model Integration & Correlation Engineer

The role

You will own the quality of the Virtual Vehicle platform by bringing contributed models into the platform and validating them against measured vehicle data. You will work with domain experts to decide how much simulation results can be trusted.

What you will do

• Integrate models contributed by domain teams and suppliers into the simulation platform.
• Design and run validation that proves integrated models match their reference behavior.
• Lead correlation campaigns against dynamometer, track, and fleet data.
• Publish results with stated validity limits.
• Root-cause simulation-versus-measurement discrepancies and drive them to resolution.
• Author simulation scenarios and acceptance criteria.

Required qualifications

• Fluency with vehicle measurement data: bus signals, logged telemetry, units and encodings
• BS/MS in Mechanical, Electrical, or Systems Engineering, or a related field — or equivalent demonstrated experience.
• 5+ years in vehicle modeling, controls, or systems engineering — or an equivalent demonstrated record.
• Demonstrated model-to-vehicle correlation experience with quantified results.
• Plant-modeling fluency in at least one toolchain (Modelica, Simulink, or Python).
• Experience with model exchange (FMI or similar).
• Strong Python for data analysis.
• Comfort in a code-first engineering environment.

Nice to have

• Energy-consumption or vehicle-dynamics validation against dynamometer or track data.
• Automotive systems-engineering artifacts: requirements, DFMEA, STPA.
• ISO 26262 exposure.
• Experience as a technical liaison across multiple engineering teams.

Benefits

• competitive base salary
• annual company performance bonus program
• equity in the form of Restricted Stock Units (RSUs)
• health coverage
