Job description
Ithaca - New York - USA, Auburn Hills - Michigan - USA
This role serves as a senior technical expert in multibody dynamics for engine and driveline systems. The engineer will develop, apply, and advance simulation methods used to evaluate and optimize chain-drive systems for engine timing, transmission, transfer case, and powersports applications. The position combines system modelling, product development, and enhancement of proprietary engineering software to improve model accuracy, shorten analysis cycles, and enable data-driven design decisions. The engineer will also provide technical direction across global engineering teams and support customer and manufacturing needs.
Key Responsibilities
Lead multibody dynamics analysis to guide the design and development of driveline and chain-drive products.
Build, validate, and apply dynamic system models to predict functional performance and identify design improvements.
Optimize system performance through evaluation of layout geometry, hydraulic characteristics, stiffness, loading, and other relevant design parameters.
Develop, improve, validate, and support proprietary software, engineering models, and automation routines used for driveline systems analysis.
Own and advance analysis methods, procedures, and technical standards to improve capability, accuracy, repeatability, and efficiency.
Define and execute elements of the analysis technology roadmap, including evaluation and implementation of new simulation techniques and software capabilities.
Plan and coordinate technical work, software development activities, milestones, and priorities across multiple projects.
Provide technical direction, peer review, and problem-solving support to global colleagues in analysis, product development, application engineering, testing, and production implementation.
Lead technical discussions with customers and global engineering teams, clearly communicating assumptions, findings, risks, and recommendations.
Investigate new designs, materials, and analysis approaches that improve product performance, cost, quality, or manufacturing efficiency.
Generate and document intellectual property associated with product, analysis-method, or proprietary software innovations, as appropriate.
Support manufacturing locations in resolving product issues and identifying opportunities for improved quality, efficiency, and design cost.
