CAE Engineer, Powertrain System Simulations

CEVT is an innovation centre for the future cars of the Geely Group with the purpose of being at the forefront of new developments in the automotive industry. Since 2013 CEVT has grown rapidly and now keeps some 2000 people busy. China Euro Vehicle Technology AB is a subsidiary of Zhejiang Geely Holding Group.

CEVT Powertrain Engineering in Gothenburg Sweden has developed a simulation tool based on GT-Suite to work on powertrain concepts in a vehicle environment. The Powertrain Systems Simulation tool is already capable of making complete hybrid vehicle simulations and support development of powertrain systems and components.
Role description

As a CAE Engineer working with 1-D simulations, you will analyze powertrain systems with customer attributes in focus. Components like engine, transmission, battery, electric motor and cooling systems are all important to meet various legal and customer requirements in different driving conditions. Your main task will be to use and support the development of the simulation tool, and to work on concept development of new powertrain systems including engine, transmission and hybrid components.
In this role you will be part of an agile and experienced international team with members in Sweden and China. The work culture is characterized by teamwork, ambition and can-do spirit.

Tasks and responsibilities
* Produce and analyze simulation results using 1D simulation tools for vehicle attribute evaluation
* Develop powertrain component models in GT Suite
* Correlate simulation results and measurement data
* Coordinate the simulation results with project teams and other CAE teams at CEVT / GEELY and VCC
* Communicate with the team members in our Swedish as well as Chinese office (Hangzhou Bay)
* Communicate results and concept proposals with line management, powertrain and vehicle project teams at CEVT / GEELY / VCC as well as suppliers.


Needed Competencies/Skills
* M.Sc. in Mechanical-, Applied Physics-, Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics or similar.
* Minimum 2 years of experience from similar work tasks within the automotive area
* Knowledge of 1D-simulations in conventional as well as in hybrid vehicles
* Experience of GT-SUITE in general; focus on GT-Power and GT-Drive
* Fluent in English is mandatory. Swedish or Chinese language is a strong merit.
* Excellent communication skills and team-worker.
* Cultural awareness; especially China - Sweden


Software and IT:
* GT-SUITE (Power, Cool, Lube, Drive etc.) and/or AVL Boost/Cruise or similar (requirement)
* MS Office
* Database management software: e.g. SVN
* Optimization tools
* Matlab Simulink is a merit
