System Engineer – Automotive – M/F/X

Overview

We are looking for a System Engineer to support long-term projects for one of our clients in the automotive sector, working on hybrid transmission systems with a strong focus on energy efficiency and real-world mission performance.

Your main responsibilities include:

• Developing, maintaining and verifying system-level requirements for transmission efficiency and performance across vehicle segments and drive cycles
• Defining mission profiles representing real-world driving conditions and load collectives for subsystems and components
• Conducting energy flow analysis and loss breakdowns within the transmission system
• Supporting design trade-offs between mechanical layout, control strategy and efficiency performance
• Developing and using system-level simulation models to predict transmission behavior under various mission profiles
• Analyzing vehicle test data and correlating with simulation results to improve prediction accuracy
• Working closely with Hardware, Controls, Calibration, Testing and Validation teams to ensure system targets are met
• Defining and supporting characterization tests for transmission subsystems
• Supporting design reviews, DFMEAs, and validation planning related to efficiency and mission-based performance
• Contributing to next-generation transmission systems and benchmark activities

Qualifications

You hold a Master\'s degree in Automotive, Mechanical or Mechatronics Engineering and have at least 5 years of experience in transmission development, preferably in efficiency optimization or testing.

Must Have

• Deep understanding of transmission architectures, loss mechanisms and energy flow analysis
• Hands-on experience with simulation tools (Matlab/Simulink or similar)
• Experience in data acquisition and analysis
• Strong analytical, data-driven and problem-solving mindset
• Fluency in English and French
• Rigorous, reliable, proactive mindset with strong communication skills

Nice to Have

• Knowledge of requirement management tools (Polarion)
• Experience with electrified powertrain configurations
• Familiarity with DFMEA processes and validation planning
• Exposure to benchmark methodologies for competitor systems
