Position Description
This role is to provide a strategic framework that supports Product Development's CAE and
system simulation work streams. The objective of the role is to create robust, representative
and correlated transmissions and transmission controller models for use by the Powertrain
transmission team and the wider Product Development community.
Deciding how best to develop the Transmission plant models with key suppliers (Either
developing in house models to meet requirements Or using supplier based plant models.).
Agreeing and documenting all plant model interfaces, ensuring commonality across all
programmes.
Developing a TCM (Transmission Control Module) controller in the loop model.
Deciding how best to develop the controller models with key transmission suppliers (Either
developing in house models to meet requirements Or using supplier based plant models.).
Agreeing and documenting controller model interfaces, again ensuring commonality across all
projects.
Develop/agree toolsets to improve efficiency through the Automatic Transmission Calibration
and Controls teams.
Optimisation of technology and AT fuel economy benefit.
Standard package of CAE data to support transmission calibration.
Torque Converter characteristics support of hardware development.
Close loop feedback with calibration development through the delivery.
Analysis of current calibrations to ensure no degradation to FE / CO2.
Develop the CAE data used to improve desktop calibrations (Altitude / Road Load / vehicle
acceleration / development of shift logic)
Develop shift map calibration scheduling tool.
Develop shift quality tool and interaction with INCA.
Develop calibration hygiene tool to robustly check calibrations.
Ensuring all models developed are in line with Virtual hub processes and guidelines.
