Join Michelin’s R&D team in Clermont-Ferrand and contribute to connected, safer and more sustainable mobility.
Context
Michelin’s performance understanding and prediction team is recruiting a mechanical engineer or physicist on a permanent contract. The team works on tire and vehicle behavior performance models and their integration into Software Defined Vehicle platforms.
Mission
Understand the mechanisms driving tire behavior performance in relation to the vehicle and model them in tools that can be integrated directly into Software Defined Vehicle platforms. Support partners through expertise and improve the physical components of these models.
The role may later include proposing new research directions and taking responsibility for projects involving the development and deployment of new tools and methods.
Responsibilities
- Develop simulation tools using Python, AI and data, and implement the associated methods.
- Prepare study and test-plan summaries, including calculation and measurement comparisons and model validation.
- Conduct technical studies defining new test methods or improvements to existing methods.
- Share knowledge through literature reviews, scientific monitoring, reports and training.
Profile
- Engineering degree or university degree at bachelor’s plus five to bachelor’s plus eight level.
- Strong knowledge of physics and continuum mechanics.
- Ability to formulate physical problems mathematically.
- Good knowledge of programming languages, particularly Python and Matlab, for developing modelling tools.
- Interest in multiscale approaches, from material behavior to complex systems such as vehicles.
- Fluent English, minimum B2.
- Ability to work within multidisciplinary project teams.
What Michelin offers
You will receive a personalized training plan and develop your expertise alongside performance, tire and materials specialists. Career paths may lead to transverse management or expert roles in developing new methods.
The position is available immediately and will be filled as soon as a suitable candidate is found.
