Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer

Job Title: Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer Location: Muskegon, Michigan Employment Type: Full-Time, Permanent Work Arrangement: Onsite

Security Clearance: must be capable of obtaining a DoD security clearance Travel: Less than 10%, domestic and international

We are seeking an experienced Senior Modeling & Simulation Engineer to support the analysis, development, and optimization of diesel engines, transmissions, and driveline subsystems for military ground vehicles.

This position focuses on physics-based modeling, simulation, and engineering analysis of engine and transmission systems, as well as structural, thermal, vibrational, and vehicle mobility performance.

The selected candidate will work on critical mechanical systems and components, supporting new product development, engineering proposals, design verification, testing, and failure analysis.

The role requires strong mechanical engineering fundamentals, analytical capabilities, and experience with simulation tools. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional engineering teams and customers, manage technical projects, and prepare detailed engineering reports.

The ideal candidate is a Mechanical Engineer with 6+ years of relevant experience in modeling, simulation, mechanical systems analysis, or powertrain engineering.

Candidates should have experience with diesel engines, transmissions, driveline systems, or military vehicle subsystems.

Strong candidates will demonstrate:

• Physics-based engine and transmission modeling.
• Mechanical system and vehicle driveline performance simulation.
• Structural, thermal, fluid, and vibration analysis.
• Thermodynamic and heat-transfer analysis.
• Experience with ANSYS, GT-SUITE, MATLAB, and Simulink.
• Understanding of engine subsystems, including air induction, cooling, lubrication, drivetrain, and power cylinder systems.
• Experience with transmission and gearbox design or development.
• Ability to develop test plans, conduct engineering analysis, and investigate failures.
• Experience supporting military, defense, or aerospace customers.
