With the move to self-sourced engines, the powertrain engineering department has become one of the most important in the Jaguar Land Rover group.I am part of a team in that department responsible with powertrain in vehicle analysis, a CAE based department which assists vehicle engineering during development and roll-out of new products. As part of that team, my responsibilities include: - fuel economy and CO2 estimations for powertrain configurations for the near and medium term… Show more With the move to self-sourced engines, the powertrain engineering department has become one of the most important in the Jaguar Land Rover group.I am part of a team in that department responsible with powertrain in vehicle analysis, a CAE based department which assists vehicle engineering during development and roll-out of new products. As part of that team, my responsibilities include: - fuel economy and CO2 estimations for powertrain configurations for the near and medium term (eg. 2019MY); - performance and gradeability simulations for the same spectrum of models; - powertrain matching exercises; - correlations between simulations and real vehicle testing to maintain confidence in simulation tools; - simulation model builds and updates; Show less

Main job attributes: - fuel economy/CO2 simulations for conventional powertrains in the Renault-Nissan-Dacia Alliance, for both standalone platforms and common architecture platforms. Examples of vehicles I've worked on: Renault Captur, Renault Espace, Renault Scenic, Renault Twingo, Smart, Renault Koleos, Nissan Quashqai, Dacia Logan/Sandero/Duster; - simulation models maintenance, updates and sub-model creation (eg. engine sub-models); - results analysis and post-processing; -… Show more Main job attributes: - fuel economy/CO2 simulations for conventional powertrains in the Renault-Nissan-Dacia Alliance, for both standalone platforms and common architecture platforms.
