Your responsibilities include working on the combustion process and calibration of a high-performance powertrain, focusing on maximizing engine performance and efficiency in combustion, turbocharging, and calibration, while ensuring reliability. You will perform development measures during concept, design, commissioning, and testing phases.

Your Mission

• Develop combustion process and gas-exchange via 3D CFD simulations
• Conduct thermodynamic development of engine gas-exchange, combustion phases, and flow simulation of intake & exhaust systems
• Plan, perform, and evaluate 3D CFD simulations with proper reporting
• Correlate simulation data with engine operation and test bench measurements
• Improve workflows and toolchains for simulation and test data correlation

Your Profile

• Technical degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, fluid mechanics (bachelor's, master's, diploma, or doctorate)
• Several years of experience in internal combustion engine development and 3D CFD simulation
• Broad knowledge of engine technology and virtual development tool chains
• Experience with testbench data handling
• Excellent teamwork, organizational skills, and responsibility
• Independent and precise working style
• Proficiency in German or English, with willingness to learn the other language
