Xelvin is a specialist in the seconding of enterprising engineers. Xelvin owes its success to one important operating principle: it offers candidates and companies the power of freedom that comes from being able to make a conscious choice.
By being an open organization in which sincerely interested people enjoy a healthy amount of freedom, Xelvin forms a bond of trust that enables people to make conscious choices on their own. Not premeditated choices or ready-made choices that are generated by up-front efficiency processes, but choices that are based on a set of unique factors and could not have been made in any other way. Choices that candidates and companies can, in all honesty, call their own.
We are looking for a control engineer who has a broad knowledge of automotive power train control, both for conventional power trains (preferably on heavy duty diesel) and hybrid electric solutions. He or she should know the recent trends and developments in this field and understand the related modelling and control challenges.
The research group Power Trains is one of the leading groups on emission management technology and has a longstanding track record in the automotive industry. We have developed our own extensive modelling and simulation tools to simulate both conventional (diesel) and hybrid electric power trains and after treatment systems. The group has its own state-of-the-art testing facilities, where we are able to measure complete engine after-treatment systems for real world emissions and fuel efficiency. We can perform measurements on an entire vehicle in our unique altitude climate chamber, and perform on-road measurements.
Based on your education and professional experience you should understand the modelling methodologies for the various after-treatment subsystems and the control strategies to optimize the complete emission output and fuel efficiency. You are required to have a good understanding of recent trends and developments in the major components that influence the performance of the after treatment system. Within our multi-disciplinary international team you will have a scientist specialist role. By focusing on innovative solutions you will play a key role in strengthening our knowledge position in emission management technology. We are an applied research and development organization, and you will be working in a wide range of projects ranging from international B2B customers to (European) research projects that further strengthen our knowledge base.
You should have a masters degree in mechanical engineering, electrical engineering, or automotive engineering. You should have broad technical knowledge on automotive power trains and have good practical experience with Matlab and Simulink, preferably supplemented by experience with GT-Power engine simulation software. You must be a team player and enjoy achieving results in teams of varying composition. You should enjoy developing innovative solutions to technically challenging problems and have the right mix of intellectual curiosity and practical pragmatism. Some international travel may be involved for on-site visits to international customers.
