Senior Engineer – Mechanics Development

Gamma Technologies, LLC (GT) is looking for a Senior Engineer – Mechanics Development with a solid work ethic, excellent judgment, and a desire to build a long-term career with us.

Position Summary

We are searching for a creative, focused self-starter to work as a mechanical systems software developer. You would join our mechanics development team and work in a collaborative development environment on projects to build and improve models of motion, vibrations, friction, and durability in automotive applications and beyond. Because GT maintains an integrated and multi-physics development strategy, you will also collaborate with application engineers on product design and with developers of other physical domains such as fluid flow, thermal, electrical, and controls on multi-physics solutions.

Job Responsibilities

  • Develop, enhance, test, and maintain rigid and flexible multi-body dynamics (MBD), kinematics, contact mechanics and tribology models applicable to dynamics, durability, noise, vibration, friction and wear issues in engine, powertrain and vehicle mechanical subsystems and beyond.
  • Work, within a mature platform and mathematical solution architecture, on projects focused on physical modeling, computational performance, scalability, user-friendliness, and 3D visualization aspects of MBD models.
  • Test computational models in the context of integrated simulations of real-life systems aimed at addressing customers’ product design, performance, and durability issues.
  • Collaborate with other developers and application engineers on functional and I/O requirements and the design of models. Adaptation of models to user requirements.

Education, Experience, and Skills

Any combination of education and experience that would likely provide the required knowledge and abilities is qualifying. A typical way to obtain the knowledge and abilities would be:

  • Ph.D. in Mechanical Engineering, or Ph.D. candidate who has completed a defense of his/her dissertation with a focus on multi-body dynamics of rigid and flexible bodies.
  • Desired GPA 3.5 / 4.0
  • 2+ years of academic or industry experience with computational modeling of mechanical systems, e.g. kinematics, multi-body dynamics, vibrations, FEA, etc.
  • Experience with engineering programming languages such as Fortran, and C++.
  • Experience with commercial/research MBD tools.
  • Familiarity with engine and powertrain subsystems such as cranktrains, valvetrains, gear, chain and belt drive systems, vehicle drivelines, and transmissions.
  • Modeling of contact kinematics, tribology and hydrodynamic fluid film lubrication.
  • Experience with technologies for enhancement of model performance and scalability, such as model reduction, sparse systems, and parallelization.

Salary and Benefits

  • GT offers competitive pay, vacation, sick and personal days, and a work environment that allows you to grow and prosper
  • We offer best-in-class health benefits for you and your dependents
  • We offer a 401k and Roth 401k retirement plans
  • We provide an onsite fitness center
  • The primary work location will be our Westmont, IL office. We’ve adopted a hybrid work policy asking employees to report to the office 2-3 days per workweek
  • As an organization, we value collaborating and learning from our peers in person, while providing the necessary flexibility for our employees to have a meaningful work-life balance
