System Engineer - Efficiency & Mission Profile (Automotive)

M; Hasselt; On-site; EUR 60,000 - 90,000; Full time

Job summary

Médiane Benelux in Belgium is seeking a System Engineer - Efficiency & Mission Profile to bridge vehicle-level requirements and transmission subsystem design. You will define and optimize transmission behavior with a strong focus on energy efficiency, performance, and drivability.

Collaborate with system architects, hardware, controls, calibration, testing, and validation teams on current and next-generation hybrid transmission platforms, contributing to design reviews and validation strategies.

Qualifications

• Minimum 5 years of experience in transmission system development.
• Master's degree in Automotive, Mechanical, or Mechatronics Engineering.
• Strong analytical mindset with a data-driven approach.
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools (Matlab / Simulink or equivalent).
• Experience in data acquisition and analysis.
• Understanding of transmission architectures, loss mechanisms, and energy flow analysis.
• Strong problem-solving skills and system-level thinking.
• Comfortable working in multidisciplinary and international teams.
• Knowledge of requirements management tools (e.g. Polarion) is a plus.

Responsibilities

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