Software Research Engineer for model-driven engineering Job Description

Manufacturing companies are looking forward to take the next step towards an innovative design process. As the time-to-market is becoming increasingly important, companies want to find a way to make early design decisions and save time, e.g. by sharing design parameters between engineering departments or by finding design synergies in product families.
 
Propose beyond state-of-the-art computational modelling
 
You will:
 
-        Work together in a small research team combining expertise in CDS, model-driven engineering, optimisation techniques, mechatronic & structural design;
-        Work on challenging model-driven engineering problems and perform research into new methods, algorithms, frameworks, modelling languages & tools;
-        Push state-of-the-art software methods beyond the current limits;
-        Take the lead in developing prototype software for supporting design tools.
 
More concretely, for real-life industry designs of e.g. the landing gear of an airplane or a complex vehicle exhaust system…, you:
 
-        Characterise in a formal way the design space model (with objectives, constraints, design repository/component database…), integrating parameters such as manufacturability, total cost of ownership, performance…;
-        Use model-driven engineering and algorithms of computational design to automatically generate optimal high-performance design concepts;
-        Generate out-of-the box ideas to make the design space model smaller;
-        Check which solutions are technically feasible.

Bart, Software Research Engineer at Flanders Make: "When working on a new concept, I enjoy to puzzle out variants of existing tools, making sure they communicate correctly. When the industrial company finally adopts the solution, the data really come to life."
