Systems Engineer Jobs

About The Position

Requirements

• Bachelor’s Degree in Engineering (Master’s or PhD preferred) or related engineering degree.
• Minimum of 3-5 years of relevant experience.
• Experience designing and integrating mechatronic systems that combine hardware and software components.
• Demonstrated ability to troubleshoot and resolve complex technical problems independently.
• Experience working on multidisciplinary engineering projects, coordinating across mechanical, electrical, and software teams.

Nice To Haves

• Hands-on experience with real-time hardware or simulation systems (e.g. Concurrent iHawk, SimWB or dSPACE)
• Familiarity with vehicle dynamics and simulation tools (e.g. ADAMS, MotionSolve, SimPack, VI-BikeRT or CarSim/BikeSim).
• Operation of mechatronic test equipment including actuators or 6DOF platforms (MTS, Moog, etc.).
• Experience with vehicle development through simulation, test data analysis, or on-vehicle testing.
• Experience in computer programming and other data analysis tools (e.g. Matlab, Python, GlyphWorks, nCode, Aqira, C/C++, etc.).

Responsibilities

• Develops and maintains custom Human-in-the-Loop full-vehicle simulation systems by integrating physical test equipment (e.g. 6-DoF motion platforms, actuators, controllers) with real-time motorcycle models and physical motorcycle hardware (e.g. CAN bus, sensors) to enable realistic early-stage vehicle evaluations.
• Manages and utilizes simulation infrastructure (e.g. real-time computing systems, data acquisition hardware, motorcycle simulators) to conduct tests, troubleshoot equipment, and ensure high-quality data collection in support of vehicle development programs.
• Ensures strong correlation between simulations and real‑world results by aligning virtual models with test data and refining models based on lab/track measurements to improve prediction accuracy.
• Implements continuous improvements in simulation tools and methods by exploring new technologies (such as richer virtual scenarios, alternate real-time modeling platforms) and introducing them to enhance the realism, efficiency, and flexibility of H-D’s virtual testing capabilities.
• Collaborates with cross-functional engineering teams – including design, test labs, and human factors groups to provide simulation-driven insights that guide design decisions, resolve performance issues, and reduce the need for physical prototypes.
• Documents simulation procedures and shares best practices with peers, contributing to training and knowledge transfer that expand the team’s proficiency in advanced simulation techniques and promote data-driven decision-making across the organization.
