Low Voltage Power Supply Architecture Simulation Engineer

Overview

In this position...

What you'll do...

• Develop Power Supply simulation environment: Develop a simulation environment for power supply architectures on 12V and 48V including power supply components and required vehicle interfaces in an automotive development process.
• Component modeling: Integrate component models of power sources and energy storage into the electrical system model. This supplier specific models need to represent electrical, thermal and aging behavior.
• System model verification: Coordinate a structured verification process for the power supply model on component and system test bench level. Iterate hardware test results into the model environment to optimize results.
• Power Net verification by CAE: Verify power net architectures with respect to sizing, electrical functionality, and power supply safety concepts in this CAE environment.
• Interface: Interface with power supply controls organization to ensure a smooth integration of 12V and 48V power net controls into the simulation environment.
• Support the component engineers and their suppliers in developing and verifying powerful component models.
• Support the integration of the power net model into a vehicle simulation environment.
