Transmission Department Vacancies

 Changan UK R&D Centre - based in Nottingham is currently looking for a Simulation Engineer. This is an exciting career opportunity within a growing, large international car manufacturer

Core Requirements

• Degree qualified (Electrical/Control/Mechanical/Mechatronics/Automotive )

• Maintaining and developing strong numeracy and literacy skills 

• Experience of modelling & simulating 1-d automotive powertrain systems with respect to

  system performance, dynamics & control and/or fuel economy simulations 

• Experienceof deriving governing equations for components and systems from first

  principles

• Proficient user of Matlab/Simulink software

• Experience of AVL Cruise and/or AMEsim would be desirable

Main Activities/Tasks

• Developing models of geartrain and hydraulic components and systems for use in component and system level simulations to support concept design, mechanical design, hydraulic design and control system design as necessary

• Concept Design: Use of AVL Cruise for vehicle level performance prediction studies

• MechanicalDesign: Development of detailed component models such as friction clutches, schronizers, park pawl, gears, bearings to optimise design parameters and predict functional performance

• Hydraulic design: Development of hydraulic subsystem models in AMESim or Simulink to predict response and performance

• Control System Design: Development of mechanical and hydraulic subsystem models suitable for model-in-the-loop simulation to test control software 

• Hydraulic design: Development of hydraulic subsystem models in AMESim or Simulink to predict response and performance

• Control System Design: Development of mechanical and hydraulic subsystem models suitable for model-in-the-loop simulation to test control softwar
