Senior Application Engineer - Vehicle Modeling

As an Application Engineer (AE), you’ll play a key role in shaping how the automotive industry develops and deploys large‑scale vehicle simulations. By collaborating with engineering teams working on complex vehicle system models, you will help them build accurate, scalable virtual vehicles used for vehicle attribute setting, design exploration, and calibration.

You will draw on your experience developing large‑scale vehicle system models to demonstrate best practices and guide customers in implementing efficient workflows with optimal fidelity. Through hands‑on engagement and technical leadership, you’ll empower engineers to build and deploy large‑scale vehicle system models to streamline their development processes.

This position is based in **Novi, MI**, and requires **10-20%** domestic travel.

Responsibilities

• Engage with customers to understand their workflow and use this knowledge to recommend effective solutions.
• Develop long‑term collaborative relationships with customers’ engineering champions.
• Develop and implement best practices with regard to large‑scale simulation performance.
• Prepare and deliver presentations and demonstrations.
• Advocate for the future direction of MathWorks products based on customer interactions.
• Identify new application areas and work with Development and Marketing to create compelling messaging and demonstrations.

Minimum Qualifications

• A bachelor's degree and 6 years of professional work experience (or a master's degree and 3 years of professional work experience, or a PhD degree, or equivalent experience) is required.

* MATLAB

• Simulink

Additional Qualifications

• Strong engineering skills in the development and testing of large‑scale models.
• Experience developing and debugging models involving co‑simulations between different simulation tools (e.g., FMI/FMU, S-function).
• Experience deploying models to high‑performance compute or cloud computing platforms.
• Experience using modelling and simulation in automotive product development process.
• Ability to effectively communicate with customers.

**Pluses:**

• Experience with other engineering tools such as CarMaker, ADAMS, AMESim, Simplorer, Dynasty, Modelica, Easy5, veDYNA, or CarSim.
• Experience with cloud or high‑performance compute ecosystems (e.g., Kubernetes, Kafka, etc.).
• Experience with MathWorks physical modelling tools (e.g., Simscape, PTBS, VDBS).
