WHY JOIN US

We are offering a rewarding role with scope for career progression along with:

• International, engaging, and supportive working environment.
• Competitive reimbursement.
• Free company restaurant.
• Personal and professional development.

DRIVE YOUR FUTURE

Join the Pirelli Modelling team and play a pivotal role in advancing the virtual design of tyres, with a particular focus on NVH areas like structure-borne noise and comfort. From the start, you’ll be immersed in cutting-edge CAD/CAE methodologies and collaborate with Pirelli’s global technical centers to harmonize simulation tools and methodologies. Guided by your tutor, you’ll engage in diverse and challenging activities, from analyzing tyre dynamics to improving product performance, while contributing to innovative approaches that redefine the future of tyre design.

WHAT YOU WILL LEARN 

You will collaborate with your tutor in: 

• Application of CAD/CAE methodologies (mainly based on Finite Element simulations) to support product development, in more detail:  

• Prediction and comprehension of tyre dynamic response in operating conditions, and how different tyre parts do contribute to structure-borne noise & comfort performance.
• Postprocess simulation results and extract synthetic performance indicators.
• Critical analysis of results of both simulations and experimental tests and their correlation.
• Investigation of both stand-alone tyre performance as well as tyre interaction with the vehicle with the final goal of improving structure-borne noise & comfort performances, being aware of the other targets that the same tyre needs to fulfill (handling, rolling resistance …).
• Generation of NVH tyre models to be submitted to customers and support on customer requests specific of the NVH area.
• Modelling procedures definition/improvement and their validation vs experimental studies.
• Active collaboration with Universities, other research centers or external suppliers to increase internal know-how and apply innovative approaches with final goal to improve product quality.
• Contribute to development of sw tools for automation and industrialization of simulations guaranteeing efficient use of HW and SW resources.
• Team working with other Pirelli departments (testing, materials, processes….)  whenever necessary for project goals.

WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR

• Master degree of Mechanical/ Aeronautical / Civil Engineering is preferred.
• Background in the following areas (in priority order) would be beneficial:  
  • NVH (vibrations and acoustics)
  • Finite Elements simulations (implicit & explicit, preferably Abaqus) ideally on tire applications
  • Signal processing
  • Programming languages like Python (or Matlab) for automation of pre and post-processing tools
• Fluency in Italian and English.
