Team/division description            As part of TME R&D organization, the Powertrain Division is responsible for local development of powertrains for vehicles built in one of the TME production plants, and for planning and research of new European technologies. Latest focus points include electrification, big data and connectivity. Your project You will be joining the Powertrain Battery Design Department, responsible for the development of battery pack components. Typically, the battery pack are made of several components (casing, busbars, connectors, etc.) that require several development processes (design, prototyping, testing, manufacturing.). Together with 1 experienced team member, you will work on battery pack design process including:- Design a battery pack according to vehicle requirement and developing a first model using CAD. - Breakdown the assembly in the different components and perform detailed design activity considering part requirement, specification, assembly and manufacturing constraints. - Perform design validations by performing reviews and validations with different stakeholders. - Support for battery pack benchmarking.

Team/division descriptionThe Vehicle Performance Engineering division (VPE) is part of the R&D group at Toyota Motor Europe Technical Center in Zaventem, Belgium. Our division is in charge of:- Identifying market requirements and trends, and turning them into development targets for vehicles, their subsystems, and down to components- Performance development of passenger vehicles for the European market- Researching state of the art and beyond state of the art technologies for implementation in future vehicles- Developing the state of the art methods to set these requirements, predict the performances and validate them Your projectYour objectives will be to further develop, expand and validate a prediction method to estimate the risk of road interference while driving over common road obstacles. This method is mostly based on a simplified multi-body dynamics model based model and aim at reproducing the important vehicle behaviour related to its purpose. Your role will be to study the existing model and new scenarii to predict, implement and correlate them with measurement data and, if required, correct or improve the model. Special attention will also have to be paid on the user friendliness and simplicity of the interface for the future users. You will be part of a diverse team with competencies in mechanical engineering, model base development and data science. You will have access to state-of-the-art prediction tools, measurement equipment and to necessary test data. Want to know more about how it is to work at Toyota?
