Purpose of the Job
The mission of the Performances & Simulations Engineering Student/Intern is to support the general design and the global optimization of the railway transport system, from a systems level point of view. To carry out this task, use of system simulation and data analysis tools will be required.
Responsibilities
The Performance and Simulations Engineering Student/Intern will support the Performance Modelling team (Operational Performance and Power System Analysts and Engineers) to:

• Validate the accuracy and consistency of transit system operational and power system modelling parameters.
• Maintain Databooks consisting of all inputs parameters.
• Ensure coherence of the simulation input data and the verification of the output results.
• Use calculation and data management tools to translate simulation outputs into a comprehensbile means for reporting.
• Help assess the compatibility between the performances of the system offered and its operational goals.
• Ensure that the subsystems functional specifications include the necessary elements to achieve the system performance.
• Support in developing attractive and comprehensible technical documents to obtain the customer's understanding and confidence.
• Manipulate data from internal customers to a simulation standardized format.
• Assist in model development and maintenance.

Educational requirements
University degree in Engineering, or enrolled in an Engineering program.
Qualifications

• Able to perform well under strict deadlines.
• Work well with others and on teams in a manner that is Agile, Inclusive, and Responsible.
• Good backround knowledge in mathematics and physics, particularly in relation to vehicle dynamics and the transfer of energy.
• Knowledge and experience in simulations, ideally passenger rail transit preferred (traffic, operations, power supply,...).
• Be open to innovative engineering, new equipment, methods, tools.
• Listen openly and regularly to the Project's needs.
• Fair knowledge of the subsystems included in a Transport System and understand the consequences of the operations and maintenance constraints on the system design.
• Understand the principles and outputs of the simulations (Train Performance, Operation Simulation, Power Supply Simulation, Fleet dimensioning, Signaling,...), and draw the consequences on the system design.
• Proficiency in MS Excel is a requirement.
