Conduct simulations of next-generation systems:
Utilize state-of-the-art simulation tools such as MATLAB, Simulink, and advanced simulators to simulate complex environments.
Analyze simulation outcomes to evaluate the performance of novel system designs and identify opportunities for optimization.
Perform in-depth performance analysis and optimization:
Evaluate key performance indicators specific to emerging technologies through simulation results.
Collaborate with research teams to optimize system configurations, algorithms, and protocols based on simulation insights.
Validate simulation results through experimental validation:
Validate the accuracy of simulation models by comparing results with experimental data and real-world testing.
Iterate on simulation models based on validation feedback to ensure their applicability to real-world scenarios.
Stay at the forefront of modeling and simulation research:
Stay informed about the latest advancements in modeling and simulation techniques for emerging technologies.
Explore innovative tools, methodologies, and research directions to enhance the capabilities and impact of modeling and simulation in the context of emerging technologies.
Required qualifications to be successful in this role:
Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering, Computer Science/Engineering, or a related field with a focus on emerging technologies and 8+ years of experience
