2 weeks ago
Location: Onsite - Columbus, IN
Job Description:
We are seeking a skilled and motivated MATLAB/Simulink and CFD Engineer to support the development and simulation of diesel exhaust after-treatment systems. This role will be primarily onsite in Columbus, IN, with collaboration across global engineering teams and external catalyst suppliers.
The ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in MATLAB/Simulink modeling, thermal-fluid sciences, and computational fluid dynamics (CFD), with an emphasis on catalyst modeling and system simulation of components such as DOC, DPF, SCR, and NASD.
Key Responsibilities:
MATLAB / Simulink Focus:
- Develop, calibrate, and validate aftertreatment component models (DOC, DPF, SCR, NASD) using engine test data or synthetic data.
- Create complete system-level models and support simulation via MATLAB Simulink.
- Develop and utilize S-functions, FMU models, and automation tools for simulation and post-processing.
- Conduct model validation and calibration development using ECU/ECM data.
- Support Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) and Software-in-the-Loop (SiL) applications for early-stage control software validation.
- Use AVL Cruise M as the primary simulation tool for system-level modeling and performance evaluation.
- Work with internally developed and supplier-provided catalyst models.
- Evaluate and enhance model accuracy and robustness.
- Develop user-friendly analytical tools in MATLAB for use by internal engineering teams.
- Work closely with product business units (BUs), calibration engineers, and catalyst suppliers to support integration and validation efforts.
- Improve existing modeling processes and simulation workflows.
Tool Utilization:
- CAD Cleanup / Meshing: Ansys Workbench, SpaceClaim, ICEM (Hex/Tetra), Fluent Meshing, ANSA, STAR-CCM+
- Solvers: Ansys Fluent, Ansys CFX, STAR-CCM+
- Post-Processing: Ansys CFD Post, Fluent, STAR-CCM+
- Automotive and industrial exhaust after-treatment systems
- Under-hood and exhaust filter thermal simulation
- Combustion, cooling jacket, and rotor-stator heat transfer analysis
- HVAC and data center airflow analysis
- Electronic component cooling, oil-water-gas separation, and power plant systems
- Steady/Transient state simulation
- Conjugate heat transfer (CHT)
- Multiphase and multispecies transport
- Particle tracking simulations
- Bachelor's or Master's in Mechanical, Automotive, Chemical, or related Engineering discipline.
- Minimum 5 years of hands-on experience in MATLAB and Simulink for system modeling and simulation.
- Academic or professional experience in chemical reaction kinetics, catalysis, or heat/mass transfer is preferred.
- Exposure to engine control modules (ECMs/ECUs) and aftertreatment calibration workflows.
- Strong analytical and communication skills.
- Experience with AVL Cruise M (training can be provided).
- CFD simulation experience (using Ansys, STAR-CCM+).
- Background in automotive exhaust systems, fluid-thermal systems, or powertrain modeling.
