Our software aids in the design and optimization of products in many industries, including Automotive, Agriculture, Off-Highway Vehicles, Aerospace, Power Generation, Marine and Rail, and Industrial Machinery. Established in 1994, we are a growing and dynamic global company with headquarters based in Westmont, IL.
Position Summary
We are looking for a creative, focused self-starter to work as a software developer in the area of mechanical systems. You would join our mechanics development team and work in a collaborative development environment, on projects to develop and enhance models of motion, vibrations, friction and durability in automotive applications and beyond. As GT maintains an integrated and multi-physics development approach, you will also collaborate with application engineers on product design, and with developers of other physical domains such as fluid flow, thermal, electrical and controls on multi-physics solutions.
Job Responsibilities
- Develop, enhance, test and maintain rigid and flexible multi-body dynamics (MBD), kinematics, contact mechanics and tribology models applicable to dynamics, durability, noise, vibration, friction and wear issues in engine, powertrain and vehicle mechanical subsystems and beyond.
- Work, within a mature platform and mathematical solution architecture, on projects focused on physical modeling, computational performance, scalability, user-friendliness and 3D visualization aspects of MBD models.
- Test computational models in the context of integrated simulations of real-life systems aimed at addressing customers’ product design, performance and durability issues.
- Collaborate with other developers and application engineers on functional and I/O requirements and design of models. Adaptation of models to user requirements.
Education, Experience and Skills
- PhD in Mechanical Engineering, or PhD candidate who has completed defense of his/her dissertation with focus on multi-body dynamics of rigid and flexible bodies.
- GPA 3.5 / 4.0
- 2+ years of academic or industry experience with computational modeling of mechanical systems, e.g. kinematics, multi-body dynamics, vibrations, FEA etc.
- Experience with engineering programming languages such as Fortran, C++.
- Experience with commercial/research MBD tools.
- Familiarity with engine and powertrain subsystems such as cranktrains, valvetrains, gear, chain and belt drive systems, vehicle drivelines and transmissions.
- Modeling of contact kinematics, tribology and hydrodynamic fluid film lubrication.
- Experience with technologies for enhancement of model performance and scalability, such as model reduction, sparse systems and parallelization.
Other Requirements and Notes:
ALL candidates must be eligible to work in the US for any employer; no third parties please.
Salary and Benefits
GT offers competitive pay, full health benefits, vacation, sick and personal days, 401K with profit sharing, and a work environment that allows you to grow and prosper.
