The Core Model Development Team is a part of the Vehicle Architecture and Powertrain Matching (VA&M) Department of the Advanced Engineering Lab (AEL) which focuses on the definition of critical powertrain requirements and advanced concept development for Hyundai, Kia, and Genesis products. We develop analysis tools and models to support these studies. We also manage and acquire component data to feed into the model.

The Position

The Software engineer will develop simulation tools and models to support AEL fuel economy, linear acceleration, and grade performance studies. While there may be the occasional need to develop or debug Simulink frameworks the software engineer will be focused on automation tools, GUI development, deploying models to a server, and developing automated software test pipelines.

• Establish, maintain, and follow version control and software validation procedures for the core model, component subsystems, and tool infrastructure
• Write clear documentation and development standards for users and developers
• Explore and apply AI/ML technologies to both the model and the development process.
• Prepare and present technical reports on key project milestones/achievements and provide actionable insights and recommendations for product improvements.
• Foster communication and collaboration between model users, developers, and stakeholders.
• Travel both domestically and internationally, as required (up to 15%).
