Powertrain Performance & Emissions Simulation Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Oct 12, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 18, 2026.
Bugatti Rimac, part of the Rimac Group, brings together two forces that have redefined the automotive world. By combining Rimac’s cutting-edge electric performance and innovation with Bugatti’s 110+ year legacy of crafting iconic hypercars, we are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible in automotive engineering.
Our team is at the core of this, we work with passion, aim for excellence, and take ownership of what we do. We grow together, pioneer solutions, and deliver vehicles that set new standards.
As a Powertrain Performance & Emissions Simulation Engineer, you will develop, validate, and maintainaccurate1D simulation models for powertrain performance, combustion, and emissions, including engine-out and aftertreatment systems.
Working across powertrain, vehicle, controls, and testing teams, you will ensure robust predictive capability and strong correlation between simulation and experimental results.
You will love this role if you enjoy combining simulation and testing, working on combustion and emissions challenges, and influencing powertrain performance and compliance through data-driven modeling.
Where you’llmake an impact
Develop and maintain 1D models for ICE performance, combustionand emissions
Build fast-runningand real-time capable models to support vehicle performance development and XiLapplications
Continuously improve modeling of combustion, air path, fuel systemsand aftertreatment
Integrate powertrain performance and emissions models into full vehicle simulation environments
Use GT-SUITE and MATLAB/Simulink for model development, calibrationand analysis
Support testing activities, including emissions instrumentation and measurement strategies
Correlate simulation results with experimental data and improve predictive accuracy
Prepare and present technical reports on performance, fuel consumption, and emissions compliance
What are your core components
5-10 years of experience in powertrain performance, combustionand emissions simulation
Proven expertisewith GT-SUITE and MATLAB/Simulink
Strong understanding of internal combustion engine fundamentals and calibration
