- Guide thermodynamic simulation activities through concept definition, pre-development, and complete development phases.

- Develop, correlate, and validate engine models using experimental data and test bench data.

- Define and evaluate engine concepts, supporting their transition to design and prototyping phases.

- Analyse future regulations and evaluate their impact on powertrain architecture and performance.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams (combustion, CFD, mechanical design, camshaft, testing, fuels).

- Support integrated 1D-3D simulation workflows for developing combustion and air path (air path) systems.

- Contribute to fuel modelling activities and knock prediction.

- Support valvetrain and camshaft profile development.

Requirements:

- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive, Aerospace, or equivalent.

- Extensive experience in 1D thermodynamic simulation and high-performance internal combustion engine development.

- Solid knowledge of engine thermodynamics, combustion processes, and gas exchange.

- Experience in high-performance engineering or motorsport environments.

- Proven project leadership and cross-functional coordination capabilities.

- Competence in 1D thermodynamic simulation, including model correlation and validation.

- Strong skills in developing and optimising high-performance internal combustion engines.

- Experience with Design of Experiments (DoE) methodologies.

- Familiarity with integrated 1D-3D simulation approaches.

- Proficiency in engineering tools and software such as GT-Power, AVL Boost, MATLAB/Simulink.

- Experience with system modelling and collaboration tools like Cameo and Concerto.

- Good to advanced proficiency in English (written and spoken).
