Technical Analyst Fuel Economy and CO2 simulations

For the Technical Analysis department we are looking for a Technical Analyst Fuel Economy and CO2 simulations. The stringent requirements on CO2 emissions in the coming years will force the truck industry to put a lot of effort in further optimizing conventional vehicle concepts but also focus more and more on alternative powertrain concepts.

• Building and improving vehicle simulations models for broad range of advanced powertrain concepts, incl. model validation;
• Performing simulations and analyses on fuel economy/energy consumption, CO2 emissions on vehicle and total fleet level and driveability performance;
• Processing the analyses to conclusions and design recommendations including reporting on technical as well as management level;
• Defining and managing simulation plans on fuel economy & CO2 emissions;
• Aligning the activities and deliverables with Vehicle Definition, Vehicle Testing and Vehicle Engineering departments and in global context with other PACCAR divisions;
• Maintaining the domain knowledge by following the new technologies in the field of fuel economy, CO2 emissions and alternative powertrains;
• Improving the CAE capabilities by introducing and implementing new methods and processes at DAF and other PACCAR divisions;

• Master degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Automotive/Aerospace Engineering, Applied Physics;
• Proven affinity/experience with Automotive Technology, numerical simulations on powertrain and/or energy management;
• Knowledge and experience with Matlab / Simulink;
• Good analytic and organizing skills;
• Effective communication skills in the Dutch and English language;
• A customer oriented team player with a proactive and result driven workstyle;
