What You Drive at DTNA Serve as a technical lead in the complete vehicle model building process that combines both multi-body dynamic models with finite element elastic bodies. Focus on vehicle handling, with additional focus on vehicle durability and vibration. Support design engineers to ensure their designs meet performance targets prior to physical validation. Recommend feasible solutions by understanding design problems and defining the appropriate physics models and load cases. Accurately solve analyses and present results to guide design solutions with analysis-based recommendations. Present results at both technical and management level of detail. Work cross-functionally with vehicle/component design engineers, digital mockup, vehicle test engineers and other simulation teams to build entire vehicle models, provide load collectives to support component development, compare and correlate simulation and test results. Serve as a subject-matter expert in vehicle durability and participate in cross-functional work streams on the topic. Work as a contributing member in a team and mentor junior members and help prioritize work. Communicate project status, simulation data requirements and escalate issues in a transparent, proactive, and professional manner.
