Develop concept-level powertrain architectures utilizing various engine technologies, including diesel, gasoline, hybrid, turbine, and alternative fuels.
Design prototype powerpacks including heat exchanger sizing and selection, fan and fan drive sizing and selection, final drive ratio and PTO power definition.
Develop and maintain vehicle-level powertrain models (1D, multi-physics, and control-oriented) to evaluate ACT transmission integration.
Perform performance, efficiency, thermal, durability, and drivability analyses across diverse vehicle platforms.
Conduct trade studies comparing engine configurations, torque curves, gear ratios, cooling strategies, and system boundaries.
Validate analytical predictions using test data, simulation tools, and cross-functional engineering inputs.
Prepare and present technical analyses, performance projections, and integration assessments to OEM and defense customers.
Serve as a key technical contact supporting customer powertrain integration inquiries.
Support business development efforts through technical input for proposals, technical responses, and feasibility assessments.
Provide technical guidance to vehicle OEMs on ACT packaging, mounting, lubrication, cooling loops, and control system interfaces.
Mentor junior engineers through technical guidance in modeling, simulation, and powertrain analysis.
Develop and maintain powertrain analysis tools, models, and best practices.
Contribute to continuous improvement initiatives to enhance integration efficiency and analytical accuracy.
Other duties as assigned.
