Description
Work Arrangement: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to the office three times per week or other frequency dictated by the business.
The Role
We are currently seeking experienced and motivated candidates for the role of Propulsion Dynamics & NVH Analysis Engineer to support the Global Battery & Propulsion Engineering division. In this role you will be responsible for creating 3D FEA and/or 1D Amesim mechanical modeling analysis to support ICE, PHEV & BEV propulsion systems. 3D FEA and/or 1D Amesim models are used to drive designs and eliminate hardware testing. Simulations are focused on various propulsion components such as electric drive units, power electronics, engine and transmissions.
What You'll Do
  • Build, debug, and run analytical models, interpreting results for customers, attending development team meetings and interact with various engineers across the organization.
  • Collaborate with vehicle noise & vibration (N&V) group to deliver propulsion system load cases and/or Amesim plant models.
  • Advance analysis capability to decrease the need for testing and align with company goals for increased virtualization.
  • Develop and continuously improve standard work and update procedure documents.
  • Support teams in all phases of program execution from concept to production including optimizing CAE models for customer usage
  • Support capability development projects as it pertains to propulsion N&V
  • Actively pursue cost reductions, size reductions and efficiency improvements
  • Provide technical leadership, engineering guidance, and mentoring to engineers to enable accurate and efficient execution of virtual propulsion program work.
  • Establish and maintain relationships with many cross functional teams such as: Advanced, Program, Design Release, Validation, Calibration, and Controls engineering teams

Additional Description
Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)
  • Bachelor of Science in Engineering
  • 5+ years of engineering experience with FEA and/or 1D Amesim simulations
  • Extensive knowledge in Structural Dynamics as it as it pertains to NVH
  • Understanding of ICE, PHEV and BEV vehicle system and integration
  • Ability to occasionally work non-standard hours to collaborate with an analysis support team overseas
  • Familiarity with a variety of other CAE tools (such as HyperMesh, Optistruct, ANSA, AMEsim, ADAMS/or any MBD Tools], Actran, Abaqus, Python and/or Matlab etc.)

What Will Give You A Competitive Edge (Preferred Qualifications)
  • M.S. and/or PhD in Mechanical Engineering with specialization in structural FEA
  • 2+ years of experience with 3D FEA and/or Amesim analysis of propulsion related systems
  • Experience with programming in Matlab and/or Python
  • Experience in Controls/Calibrations and Hands-On Testing [Vehicle and/or Lab]
  • Proficient on numerical analyses [resolve numerical stiffness and singularity problems]
  • Experience in Drive Quality development [Low frequency vibration and vehicle response]
  • Thorough understanding of signal processing
  • Fluency in Co-simulation using function mock up unit (FMU)
  • Recognized as technical leader in FEA Modeling tools

What you need to know about the Los Angeles Tech Scene

Los Angeles is a global leader in entertainment, so it’s no surprise that many of the biggest players in streaming, digital media and game development call the city home. But the city boasts plenty of non-entertainment innovation as well, with tech companies spanning verticals like AI, fintech, e-commerce and biotech. With major universities like Caltech, UCLA, USC and the nearby UC Irvine, the city has a steady supply of top-flight tech and engineering talent — not counting the graduates flocking to Los Angeles from across the world to enjoy its beaches, culture and year-round temperate climate.

Key Facts About Los Angeles Tech

  • Number of Tech Workers: 375,800; 5.5% of overall workforce (2024 CompTIA survey)
  • Major Tech Employers: Snap, Netflix, SpaceX, Disney, Google
  • Key Industries: Artificial intelligence, adtech, media, software, game development
  • Funding Landscape: $11.6 billion in venture capital funding in 2024 (Pitchbook)
  • Notable Investors: Strong Ventures, Fifth Wall, Upfront Ventures, Mucker Capital, Kittyhawk Ventures
  • Research Centers and Universities: California Institute of Technology, UCLA, University of Southern California, UC Irvine, Pepperdine, California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy, Center for Quantum Science and Engineering
