Senior Simulation Engineer – Engine Development

We are looking for a Senior Simulation Engineer to join an engineering team focused on simulation-driven development of future engine concepts. The role will focus on gas exchange simulations, model calibration, test-data correlation, and continuous improvement of simulation methods. Key Responsibilities

• Propose and evaluate future engine concepts through simulation studies at different stages of the development process.
• Set up, calibrate, and perform gas exchange simulations using in-house simulation tools and commercial software such as GT-Power.
• Work closely with engine and component testing teams to correlate and calibrate simulation models using test data.
• Develop a good understanding of engine and component measurement methods to improve simulation accuracy and results.
• Analyze simulation results and provide technical input to support engine development decisions.
• Continuously improve simulation methods, processes, and ways of working.
• Identify opportunities for methodological and technical development within simulation activities.
• Collaborate with project teams and other stakeholders to understand requirements and deliver appropriate simulation solutions.
• Take ownership of individual and team deliveries and ensure high-quality results.
• Build and maintain effective technical relationships across internal and external teams.

Required Qualifications

• Master of Science in Engineering or equivalent technical education.
• Education or training in Internal Combustion Engines (ICE).
• 5+ years of relevant professional experience in simulation, engine development, or a related engineering field.
• Experience with GT-Power or similar simulation software.
• Strong programming skills in MATLAB, Python, or similar programming languages.
• Experience with simulation model calibration, validation, and correlation is highly desirable.
• Understanding of engine and component testing and measurement methods.
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken.

Preferred Experience

• Gas exchange simulation and engine performance development.
• Engine and component test-data correlation.
• Numerical modelling and simulation.
• Experience working with simulation and testing teams.
• Development and improvement of simulation methodologies.
• Automotive, powertrain, or combustion-engine development experience.

Personal Profile

• Strong personal interest in combustion engines and simulation.
• Team player with a positive and collaborative mindset.
• Proactive and solution-oriented when facing technical challenges.
• Strong drive to deliver results and take ownership of responsibilities.
• Interested in continuously improving methods and ways of working.
• Innovative mindset with the ability to identify practical technical solutions.
• Strong ability to build relationships and collaborate across organizational boundaries.
• Comfortable taking responsibility for both individual and team deliveries.
