Computational Simulation Engineer III
About The Position
This position is responsible for acting as a technical lead in the complete vehicle model building process that combines both multi-body dynamic models with finite element elastic bodies. The role focuses on vehicle handling, with additional focus on electronic stability control and braking simulations. The engineer will support design engineers to ensure their designs are meeting performance targets prior to physical validation, recommend feasible solutions by understanding design problems and defining the appropriate physics models and load cases, and solve analyses and present results to guide design solutions with analysis-based recommendations. The role also involves working cross-functionally with vehicle/component design engineers, digital mock-up teams, vehicle test engineers, and other simulation teams to build entire vehicle models, provide load collectives to support component development, and compare and correlate simulation and test results. The engineer will act as a subject-matter expert in vehicle handling and participate in cross-functional work streams on the topic. Additionally, the role involves contributing to the team by mentoring junior members and helping prioritize work, and communicating project status, simulation data requirements, and escalating issues in a transparent, proactive, and professional manner.
Requirements
- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or Automotive Engineering.
