Position: Emissions CAE Engineer 

Domain: Aftertreatment & Engine Out Emissions - CAE

Job Type: Permanent / Contract 

Location: Coventry, UK 

 â€‹â€‹

Job Summary: 

We are looking for Lead CAE Engineer to work within virtual engineering for our vehicle and powertrain programs. You’ll be responsible for vehicle level analysis to predict tail pipe emissions of gasoline programs. The role requires good understanding of detailed aftertreatment system modelling and engine out emissions.  As a Lead CAE Engineer, you will be responsible for conducting CAE modelling, analysis and reporting.

​​​​​​

Key Responsibilities:

​

  • Development of methodologies for engine out emission prediction

  • Develop models for exhaust system to capture altitude and off ambient conditions impact on tail pipe emissions

  • Supporting 1D modelling of vehicle emissions virtual test cases to size the system, support technology selection, provide status and directional support for controls and calibration development

  • Problem solving and issue resolution support related to vehicle emissions predictions

  • Collaboration with internal suppliers of 1D simulation input data as necessary to ensure a value-add output

  • Generation of steady state to transient emissions coefficients based on test bed data

  • Leading identification of 1D Powertrain Systems CAE tool and/or process enhancement requirements to meet current & future powertrain systems for hybrid vehicles analysis needs focusing on emissions.

  • Support the design, development workstreams within the scope of the engineering development projects.

  • Conduct the design analysis, simulation and development with utmost quality within agile framework.

  • Dynamic & static attribute targets to be integrated into the product design assessment.

  • Support prototype design freeze activities for customer applications, support customer production / prototype sites & liaise with their engineering team.

Key Stakeholders:

 

  • Hardware Function layer group

  • Calibration and controls group

  • Engine and vehicle tests Team

  • After-treatment components group

  • CAE Integration Lead Engineers

  • System Design Engineers

 â€‹

Skills, Knowledge and Experience Required:

 

Essential:

  • Excellent understanding of engine out emission fundamentals and commonly used methods for its predictions

  • Very good aftertreatment modelling and engineering understanding (as simulation or calibration engineer)

  • Substantial industrial experience of assessing and verifying vehicle/powertrain emissions (desirable in a CAE environment)

  • Good analytical capability and breadth of experience in GT-Suite

  • Able to identify and respond to the strengths and limitations of computer-based modelling and simulation.

 

Desirable:

  • Experience of Powertrain system, engine and aftertreatment physical test and/or calibration

  • Proven success in complex system model validation, optimisation and correlation

  • Experience in 1D vehicle and powertrain system model development.

 

Education:

​

  • Degree qualified in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.

​​

Personal Profile:

​

  • Understanding of aftertreatment technologies and their role in delivering Vehicle Systems Emission performance

  • Self-motivated, with strong personal management capabilities

  • Able to work with minimal supervision, engaging a wide range of stakeholders effectively
