The Vehicle Dynamics Engineer is responsible for the building multi-body dynamics models to predict for ride, handling and stability analysis. The Engineer will support analysis activities throughout the product development lifecycle. This is an exciting opportunity for the right candidate to work on some of the exciting products.

Responsibilities

• Build multi body dynamic model using ADAMS/Motionview and provide direction to Engineering team on Loads as well as Vehicle dynamics analysis. Utilize CAE techniques with component, system and full vehicle models to assess performance in Vehicle Dynamics attributes.
• Develop conceptual and detailed sub-system and system Vehicle Dynamics ADAMS models to execute kinematic/compliance modeling.
• Ensure CAE targets are met in virtual prototypes.
• Be able to correlate analytical predictions with physical test performance.
• Work extensively with suppliers to communicate the requirements, reviewing component DVP&R, support vehicle build, support plant in production readiness and launch.
• Mentors other CAE analysts & team members in advanced techniques of simulation. Develops and/or improves CAE methodology for increased efficiency.  Responsible for CAE signoff and documentation.
