109833 Internship: Advanced 3D-1D modelling of Drivetrain losses
R&D Powertrain division
Company general information:
TOYOTA is one of the world’s largest automobile manufacturers and a leading global corporation.
Founded in 1937. Toyota now sells vehicles in 170 countries and employs over 300.000 people.
Based in Brussels, Belgium, and staffed by 2.700 people and more than 60 nationalities,
Toyota Motor Europe (TME) handles the wholesale marketing of Toyota and Lexus vehicles, parts & accessories, and manages Toyota’s European R&D, manufacturing and engineering operations.
Team/division description:
Toyota Technical Center (R&D) in Europe is responsible for the planning, development and production of attractive, superior quality cars matching European market requirements. R&D aims to strengthen the Toyota image in Europe.
The Advanced Powertrain Research & Development and the Model Based Design departments are responsible for investigation and pre-development through simulation activities of European technology which can be implemented in powertrain system to reduce emission, fuel consumption, cost, weight in Toyota vehicles as well as improving their performance.
Your project:
The complexity of the vehicle development process has increased significantly the last decade. A modern vehicle system has to respect traffic and environmental restrictions by fluently integrating all its different vehicle modules. The integration and selection of this wide assortment of propulsion possibilities requires the implementation of a virtual approach. This allows to evaluate vehicle performance in more early development stages.
This project is to model and evaluate the drivetrain performance, to optimize the efficiency of future powertrains. Supported by ongoing academical research, cutting edge technology is to be (virtually) integrated in a vehicle powertrain. Optimization measures are to be evaluated with intend to develop a high sustainable and durable vehicle.
Your tasks:
• To develop a simplified drivetrain system suitable for an electrified powertrain.
• To accordingly modify existing drivetrain models: increasing functionality/prediction quality.
• To analyze simulation data: evaluating the reliability and extracting the trends.
• To develop modelling and evaluation tools: standardizing the virtual development process.
Your profile:
• Student in last year of master, Automotive / Mechanical engineer.
• Strong knowledge in drivetrain mechanics and vehicle propulsion.
• Good knowledge in tribology, structural dynamics, numerical modelling.
• Strong working proficiency numerical computing. (MatLab, Python, Octave, …)
• Experienced in lumped parameter modelling (Amesim, Simulink, Simscape, …)
• Able to work in an independent way with an output minded mentality.
• Strong out-of-box thinking, flexible team player.
• Basic computer skills: Office Word, Excel, Powerpoint…
• Fluent in English, any other European language is a plus.
• Owner of a driving license is preferred
Place of employment:
• Belgium – Brussels (Zaventem) : Toyota Motor Europe, Technical Centre
Starting date: to be discussed (ideally asap)
Duration: to be discussed (ideally 12 months)
Confidentiality: Due to business requirement, not all performed projects can be reflected in the internship report. This issue needs to be discussed with candidate/school in advance.
It is mandatory that applicants are students for the entire period of the internship. Interested in this internship, please apply online.
