Drive Your Future
Join the Pirelli Modeling team as an engineer and help advance virtual tyre design, especially in structural Tyre Modeling. We are looking for a motivated professional to support our FEA Modelling & Research team.
Your Core Activities
- Developing or improving modelling techniques to predict force and moments (F&M;) transmitted to the vehicle using finite element methods or simplified approaches.
- Understanding how tyre construction affects performance of standalone tyre, and their impact on vehicle handling manoeuvres (soft and hard).
- Contribute to the development of simulation and analysis tools:
- Define modelling guidelines for accuracy improvements.
- Define virtual methodologies and validate them vs experimental ones.
- Critical analysis of results of both simulations and experimental tests and their correlation.
- Improve automation and industrialization of simulations guaranteeing efficient use of HW and SW resources.
- Harmonize simulation tools and methodology within the Pirelli worldwide technical centers.
- Daily team working with other Pirelli departments (testing, materials, processes…).
What We Are Looking For
- A master’s degree in Mechanical, Aeronautical, or Civil Engineering is preferred.
- Basic knowledge of software required for the definition of a FEM model; experience in programming languages such as MATLAB or Python for automation of pre‑ and post‑processing.
- Academic background or interest in the following areas (in order of priority) would be a plus:
- Tire modelling, including physical and semi‑physical models.
- Contact mechanics, tribology, and viscoelastic materials.
- Thermal analysis.
- Fundamentals of optimisation and statistics.
- Team working attitude.
- Strong problem‑solving skills and critical analysis.
- Fluency in Italian and English.
