Vehicle Simulation Engineer

Key Responsibilities Model Development & System Integration Develop high-fidelity modular simulation models of truck systems including: o Vehicle dynamics (longitudinal lateral and vertical) o Suspension systems (leaf air semi-active) o Braking systems (air brake components for truck & trailers) o Steering systems (hydraulic electric steer-by-wire) o Powertrain systems (ICE hybrid electric) o Tire and road interaction models (e.g. Pacejka or analytical formulations) Implement and manage models using tools such as MATLAB/ Simulink/Simscape AMESim or custom frameworks using Python/C as appropriate. Architect models to support control algorithm development design trade-off analysis and system-level simulation. Ensure modularity and clear interface between subsystems to support full-vehicle integration and rapid iteration. Simulation Workflow & Validation Validate and refine custom models using a combination of approaches: o First-principles modeling (Newtonian Lagrangian) o Parameter identification (using test data or physical measurements) o Data-driven or grey-box approaches where suitable Develop model architectures and simulation workflows for performanceprediction control algorithm development (MIL/SIL) design optimization andtrade-off studies. Conduct ride and handling simulations braking performance and load transfer analyses. Perform model correlation and validation using component test data full-vehicle measurements or published benchmarks. Support virtual development of embedded control algorithms through MIL/SIL workflows and real-time test setups. Automate simulation pipelines for sensitivity analysis parameter tuning and performance optimization. Interface with controls systems and test teams to support calibration requirement validation and vehicle-level integration. Toolchain Development & Innovation Contribute to the development of internal simulation libraries and model architectures for reuse and scalability. Stay current with industry simulation trends advanced modeling strategies and relevant standards in the vehicle engineering domain. Proactively identify opportunities to improve model accuracy simulation speed or development workflows. Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior simulation engineers if applicable.
