Electromagnetics Simulation

Job description

About Us:

QDSL (Quintessential Design Services Limited) is an engineering and technology consultancy, supporting client projects in field of Engineering Innovations, Research & Development and IT. We offer engineering support in Automotive, Aerospace, Energy and IT.

If you are an innovative, open-minded person who believes that electrification is the future of the auto industry, we would like to hear from you.

You will be deputed on client project with an OEM’s PT CAE Propulsion Group for Electrification projects. This team is responsible for CAE / simulations for all areas within PT (such as Traction Batteries, EDUs, E-Machines, Inverters, Transmissions, Drivelines, et.al), the CAE assessments from this team feeds into significant engineering & program decisions for product development cycle.

You will be performing EMC simulation analysis of the Propulsion System (such as EDUs, Inverter, E-Machines, Traction Batteries, Transmissions, HV & LV Charging Systems) at System / Sub-system level, establish EMC team design capabilities, responsible for establishing EMC simulation workflows, specifications and standards within the team. Co-ordinate with EMC physical testing team to co-relate the simulation results with the real test data and gather learning to optimise the EMC Simulation methods for future assessments.

The ideal candidate will be a high-performing professional who is proficient in using EMC simulation software such as (eg. CST Microwave Studio, Altair FEKO, Flux, HFSS /SI wave/Q3D) and other electromagnetic simulation software. This is a great opportunity to join a fast-growing team with strong core values on Quality of Health, Work / Work-Life Balance, accountability, service, and Integrity.
