R&D Engineer – Turbocharging Simulation & Innovation (80-100%), (m/f/d)

In this role, you will drive the simulation-based development, optimization, and innovation of turbocharging systems. You will lead technical studies, contribute to research and development projects, advance modeling methodologies, and support the development of future technologies focused on decarbonization, alternative fuels, emissions reduction, and electrification.

Your responsibilities:

• Perform simulation-driven analysis, design, and optimization of turbocharging systems to support internal projects and customer applications
• Develop a deep system-level understanding of turbocharging and powertrain integration, including performance optimization
• Develop and apply advanced component-level turbocharger modeling to enhance compressor and turbine map accuracy, and to assess performance potential and operational limits in innovative applications
• Drive innovation and continuous improvement by challenging existing approaches and translating concepts into practical, value-adding solutions
• Take technical ownership of complex studies and deliverables
• Contribute to and coordinate R&D projects, including planning, execution, and risk identification/mitigation
• Monitor technology trends (performance, alternative fuels, emissions, electrification), identify key drivers for R&D, and track relevant patents and competitive developments
• Critically assess and improve simulation models (0D/1D) and support data analysis of testbed measurements
• Support internal code developers to implement and validate new features (Matlab, Python,…)
• Build and maintain a strong technical network with internal stakeholders and external partners (universities, industry forums, conferences)
• Marine decarbonization & Customer specific Working Group
• Support Maintenance of our Turbocharger database and documentation

Your background:

• Master’s in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent
• Great interest in the field of internal combustion engines, turbomachinery, future powertrains and thermodynamics in general Interest in complex project management
• Team player but able to work independently. Flexible to start and learn new topics
• An analytical and solution-focused approach and strong written and spoken communication skills
• Experience and interest in coding to support the software engineers
• Ability to synthetize complex information and present key points in a concisely way
• Experience with measurements on testbed is an asset
• Experience with turbocharging optimization using 0D/1D thermodynamic software (GTpower, Gasdyn, Wave,…) is an asset
• Fluency in English is required. German is an asset
  

Your benefits:

• Attractive compensation.
• International and dynamic work environment.
• Flexible Working Model.
• Training offerings in-house.
• Office easily reachable due to excellent public transportation links.
• Global parental leave program.
• Employee Assistance Program.
• Canteen.
