Ingénieur R&D - Advanced Controls & Simulation

Your Role

As an Advanced Control & Simulation Engineer, you will be part of the Advanced Control & Simulation team within the DU Residential and System. You will be responsible for developing and maintaining system models, exploiting field data from connected products, and supporting the development and evaluation of new control algorithms for residential heating systems.

You will contribute to ensuring consistency between simulation models and real‑world system behavior, including through validation activities on real products and in SIL and HIL environments.

The role requires a solid understanding of our products/systems and their operating context, ensuring that simulation and data analysis activities are aligned with development needs and effectively support product design and optimization.

What You’ll Do

Modeling & Simulation

• Contribute to the development, maintenance, and improvement of system‑level models of products, systems, and their operating environments

• Participate in full‑system simulation studies to analyze system behavior across different operating conditions

Data Analysis & Model Validation

• Analyze simulation results, experimental data, and field data from connected products to assess system performance and behavior

• Take part in model validation and calibration activities, ensuring consistency between models and real‑world behavior through testing on real products and validation in SIL and HIL environments

• Help identify trends, anomalies, and usage patterns to support product and system development teams

Algorithm Support & Communication

• Contribute to the evaluation of new algorithms and product concepts using model‑based and data‑driven approaches

• Support development and innovation projects through simulation and data analysis activities

• Document modeling work and results, and communicate technical conclusions clearly to non‑specialist stakeholders

Your Impact

• Improve the understanding of residential heating systems through simulation and data analysis 

• Support design decisions by providing quantitative insights on system behavior and algorithm performance

• Contribute to more robust and efficient products by delivering reliable simulation results to development teams 

What We’re Looking For

Technical Knowledge and Experience

• Knowledge of thermodynamics applied to energy systems

• Technical knowledge of energy systems (e.g. heat pumps, boilers, residential heating systems)

• Skills in data analysis applied to simulation and product data

• Proficiency in Python programming for analysis and modeling tasks

• Experience with one or more simulation tools (e.g. Dymola or equivalent system‑level simulation tools)

• Basic knowledge of control systems and automation principles

• Basic understanding of systems engineering concepts

• Awareness of regulations and industry standards related to energy system

Soft Skills

• Strong analytical and synthesis skills, with the ability to understand and reason about complex systems

• Ability to communicate clearly on technical topics in English, including with non‑specialists, in an international environment

• Proactive, collaborative, and quality‑focused mindset

• Well organized, with a keen eye for detail

• Strong interest in technical innovation, with the ability to contribute creatively to engineering solutions

• Curiosity about industry trends and technological developments

What We Offer

• A dynamic, international environment where your ideas shape the future.

• Opportunities for professional growth and development.

• Competitive salary and benefits.

• The chance to make a real impact on the energy transitionReady to make an impact? Apply now and join us in shaping the future of sustainable climate solutions.
