Modeling dynamic systems, such as hybrid battery-electric powertrains, Asynchronous induction AC motors, Separately Excited DC motors, IGBT rectifiers, Power electronics, or electrical circuit modeling using relays and contactors.
Deploying plant behavioral models through generation of real-time code.
Validating model accuracy against locomotive field data.
Participating in simulator design/development as required to support the software validation group in testing new locomotive designs.
Experience in control software development in MATLAB.
In this role, you will utilize your experience or expertise to solve problems, develop and execute objectives for self and others, and directly impact short-term and long-term business goals.

Functional Responsibility:

Maintain/update plant models of electrical machines/components for various requisitions.
Maintain a configuration control system for dynamic system models.
Be capable of updating/building/reviewing MATLAB models and C/C++ code, supporting system troubleshooting in real-time hardware-in-the-loop test lab environments, and providing customer support.
Work with subsystem design teams to identify new requirements to model locomotive systems using behavioral and physics-based dynamic plant modeling.
Generate real-time C/C++ code using Auto Code Generation tools like RTW/System Build.
Execute the design, analysis, or evaluation of assigned projects using sound engineering principles and adhering to business standards, practices, procedures, and product/program requirements.
