Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer

Qualifications:
MSc/PhD or equivalent engineering degree in mechanical, automotive engineering or related technical field

Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics fundamentals, with emphasis on lateral dynamics (handling, steering) and vertical dynamics (ride comfort, road excitation)

Hands-on experience in one or more of the following vehicle dynamics simulation tools: AVL VSM, CarMaker, Adams Car, VI-Grade

Experience in tire modeling and parameterization (MF-Tire, FTire, CDTire)

Knowledge of suspension kinematics and compliance (K&C) and its influence on vehicle handling and ride behavior

Familiarity with Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) simulation environments and real-time model requirements

Proficiency in data analysis and scripting (Matlab/Simulink, Python)

Fluency in spoken and written English (German language skills would be a plus)

Self-driven, structured working style with strong problem-solving skills

Team player with good communication skills in a cross-functional, international environment

Job Description:
Develop and maintain vehicle dynamics simulation models with a focus on lateral and vertical dynamics

Set up, calibrate, and validate full-vehicle models for handling, driveability, and ride comfort assessments

Model and parameterize suspension kinematics and compliance (K&C) and correlate with physical test data

Parameterize and validate tire models (MF-Tire, FTire, CDTire) for handling and ride applications

Support simulation model setup for Driver-in-the-Loop (DiL) and Hardware-in-the-Loop (HiL) integration, commissioning, and testing

Prepare, execute, and analyze virtual test maneuvers with a focus on vehicle handling and performance

Perform objective assessment of vehicle handling (e.g. understeer gradient, transient response, frequency response) and ride comfort (e.g. weighted RMS accelerations)

Analyze and interpret simulation results to derive actionable engineering recommendations for suspension, chassis, and control development

Create technical documentation and present simulation findings to internal and external stakeholders

Leverage AI-based methods and tools for efficient engineering development, post-processing, and data analysis

Contribute to continuous improvement of simulation methods, processes, and tool chains
