Digital Vehicle Dynamics Engineer
About The Position
The Engineer for Vehicle Dynamics Digital Development plans and executes activities supporting Advanced Vehicle Programs. The role specifies component and subsystem requirements to meet full-vehicle Ride, Handling, and Steering performance targets. The engineer works with Vehicle Dynamics Test, Vehicle Development, Chassis Component Design, NVH, and Durability teams. Offline simulation assessments and virtual validation using correlated models support recommendations, with HIL/SIL integration as needed for vehicle tuning. The position is responsible for building and correlating models, executing and updating the virtual workplan, and ensuring key deliverables are met at program milestones. The engineer prioritizes work to balance internal deliverables with vehicle and program needs, represents Digital Vehicle Dynamics in technical discussions with interfacing teams, provides technical assistance to less-experienced and contract Virtual Engineers, and participates in global process development activities.
Requirements
- Bachelor of Science in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a related degree.
- At least 8 years of experience in vehicle dynamics or chassis design.
- At least 2 years of experience with Multi Body Simulation, preferably ADAMS Car.
- Highly motivated and self-directed, with the ability to manage multiple complex assignments simultaneously.
- Strong cross-functional team management skills and superior written and oral communication skills.
- Experience with tire models.
- Familiarity with vehicle Ride, Handling, and Steering and associated metrics.
- Understanding of chassis subsystems and components, such as suspension kinematics/compliance, tires, springs, shocks, and steering/braking systems.
- Experience with other simulation tools, such as CARSIM, Car Realtime, MATLAB, and EXCEL.
Nice To Haves
- Master's degree.
- Ability to leverage AI.
- Ability to develop custom routines using tools such as Visual Basic, Python, or MATLAB.
