No H1B
Responsibilities
Provide direct analytical support for one or more product groups
Develop a growing understanding of product function
Lead in the development of measurable dynamic performance specifications using simulation and other engineering analysis methods
Work with design teams to develop virtual simulation models that can be used to verify designs analytically
Develop dynamic system analysis plans for specific product development programs
Report results using a standardized reporting system
Document processes that can be used to continually improve our ability to analytically develop and verify our product designs
Contribute to Product and Component Technical Specifications, Design Guidelines, and Engineering Analysis Procedures
Understand the dynamic interactions of hydraulic systems, linkages, rigid bodies, engines, drivetrains, and control systems
Support the development of robust control strategies for product innovation and differentiation
Use Engineering analysis tools to assess complex hydro-electro-mechanical systems
Maintain models using programming languages and concepts like Object Oriented Programming
Contribute to the specification/selection of components and subsystems for optimal machine level performance
Generate objective machine level dynamic performance objectives that capture ambiguous and/or subjective operator and customer feedback
Support the vision for how analysis tools can change the way Design and PV&V Engineering work is done
Resolve stability issues that can arise from the above, but that cannot be analyzed using linear theory due to the nonlinear nature of both the primitive elements and the subsystem and machine level interactions
Generate mathematical models for previously un-modeled phenomena
Analyze simulation results to distinguish between characteristics of the design and artifacts of the mathematical models
