Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer

Job Description

Hybrid: This role is categorized as hybrid. This means the successful candidate is expected to report to Milford MI or Warren MI three times per week at minimum.

The Role

The Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer leads the design and development of components and subsystems that critically impact vehicle dynamics performance and structural loads. This role leverages advanced virtual tools and full-vehicle simulation packages to drive integration across vehicle dynamics and related disciplines.

Engineers in this role will have the opportunity to specialize in technical domains such as tire modeling control system integration and other simulation-driven areas that influence vehicle behavior. A strong emphasis is placed on the use of automation methods such as continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) to ensure efficient scalable and repeatable simulation workflows.

What Youll Do

Multibody Dynamics Modeling & Simulation

• Optimize suspension and steering kinematics and compliance

• Virtually integrate chassis tuning parts to meet ride handling and steering targets

• Collaborate to optimize structure and manage loads at key interfaces

• Integrate active control systems into performance simulations

Model Framework and Capability Development

• Develop and maintain the cross-functional vehicle dynamics master model framework and co-simulation packages

• Use data management tools to integrate 1D data and control systems into simulation workflows

• Continuously improve the fidelity of chassis subsystems and full vehicle models

• Advance virtual development by creating new load cases and collaborating with test teams to reduce reliance on hardware-based methods

Collaboration & Leadership

• Work effectively across functions and cultures to build strong partnerships

• Communicate influence and motivate teams to deliver world-class designs and integration

• Mentor and coach team members providing guidance and support

• Influence without direct authority manage ambiguity and resolve conflicts to achieve goals
