This challenge awaits you:
Modern electrified drives, new vehicle functions and numerous legal requirements pose growing challenges for the development of contemporary vehicles and energy management systems. These components must be further refined in terms of range, efficiency, emissions and driving behavior. In view of this increasing complexity and the trend towards moving development steps forward, virtual development is gaining in importance. Increasingly, function development, validation tests and application are being carried out in virtual test environments such as hardware-in-the-loop (HIL) test benches or completely with software-in-the-loop (SIL). This methodology not only improves the creation of vehicle functions, but also plays a crucial role in the optimization of energy management systems to ensure efficient battery usage, reduced consumption and improved overall performance.
Your Tasks:
1. You will create models for vehicle and energy management components or ECU network systems
2. You simulate ECU functions for the operation of the system under test
3. You put overall models into operation on HIL systems (at the customer and at IAV) or SIL systems
4. You support the implementation of software in the development process from requirements to coding and testing
Necessary Skills:
5. Ongoing studies in electrical engineering, mechanical engineering, control engineering, mechatronics, computer science, physics or a comparable field of study
6. Very good knowledge of Matlab/ Simulink, vehicle electrics/ electronics or energy management
7. Previous knowledge of development with XIL systems (Synopsis Silver, dSpace, etc.)
Desired Skills:
8. Experience in modeling physical systems and their control as well as a systemic overview of drive control units
9. Familiar with the preparation and processing of measurement data and the parameterization of simulation models
10. Basic knowledge of Python and control engineering
11. Independent working style and goal-oriented thinking
12. High flexibility, social skills, commitment, motivation and sense of responsibility
