Digital Vehicle Dynamics Engineer

The Engineer for Vehicle Dynamics Digital Development is responsible for Planning and executing activities to support Advanced Vehicle Programs with component and sub system specifications to meet full vehicle performance targets for Ride, Handling and Steering. The selected candidate will be integral with the Program team working with Vehicle Dynamics Test Engineers, Vehicle Development, Chassis Component Engineers, NVH and Durability. Off-line Simulation assessments, followed by recommending countermeasures supported by Virtual Validation with correlated models. HIL/SIL integration as needed supporting vehicle tuning.

• Execute and update the Virtual workplan
• Ensure key deliverables are met at the appropriate milestones
• Building, correlating models and using them to satisfy the workplans
• Prioritize the workload according to the needs of the program: balancing meeting internal deliverables, but also best serving the vehicle & program needs.
• Represent Digital Vehicle Dynamics in technical discussions with the interfacing teams
• Provide Technical assistance to the Less experienced and contract Virtual Engineers 
• Participate in Global process development activities
