Résumé du poste

Médiane Benelux is seeking a System Engineer – Efficiency & Mission Profile to drive transmission-level performance and energy efficiency across real-world driving conditions. You will link vehicle-level requirements with transmission subsystem design and work with system architects, hardware, controls, and validation teams on next-generation hybrid platforms.

Role emphasizes defining requirements, performing energy analyses, and building system-level models to predict performance.

Qualifications

• Master's degree in Automotive, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• 5+ years of experience in transmission system development, ideally with efficiency or testing focus.
• Strong data-driven mindset and analytical approach.
• Hands-on experience with Matlab/Simulink or equivalent.
• Experience in data acquisition and analysis.
• Solid understanding of transmission architectures, loss mechanisms, and energy flow analysis.
• Comfortable working in multidisciplinary, international teams.
• Knowledge of requirements management tools (e.g., Polarion).

Responsabilités

• Define, maintain, and verify system-level requirements related to transmission efficiency and performance across vehicle segments, markets, and drive cycles.
• Develop mission profiles representing real-world usage (standardized and customer-specific duty cycles).
• Perform energy flow analysis and loss breakdowns at transmission and subsystem levels.
• Support design trade-offs between mechanical architecture, control strategies, and efficiency targets.
• Build and use system-level simulation models to predict performance under various mission profiles and load conditions.
• Correlate simulation results with vehicle tests, subsystem validation, and end-of-line data to improve model accuracy.
• Collaborate with Hardware, Controls, Calibration, Testing & Validation teams to ensure system targets are met.
• Define and support characterization tests (clutches, bearings, drag losses, etc.).
• Contribute to design reviews, DFMEA activities, and validation strategies.
• Participate in the development of next-generation transmission concepts.
• Execute benchmark analyses of competitor transmission systems to identify best practices and innovation opportunities.
