• Expand generic platform models into specific vehicle models and variants.
• Conduct simulations to verify vehicle dynamics requirements, including: Ride comfort and handling, Brake performance, Steering capacity
• Validate CAE models by correlating simulation results with past verification data or prototype vehicle track test data.
• Update models continuously to reflect design changes to systems and components.
• Report simulation results and participate in technical review meetings.
• Contribute to modeling efficiency best practices and research new vehicle dynamics modeling techniques.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related discipline.
• 6-10 years of hands‑on experience in CAE modeling and vehicle dynamics simulation.
• Simpack or CarSim: Candidates must demonstrate expert‑level proficiency in at least one of these two platforms, as they are the primary tools for this role.
• CarMaker, Adams, AMESim, and/or MATLAB: Proficiency in these tools is considered beneficial.
• Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics phenomena (suspension, brake, steering, and control systems).
• Proven experience in model building and validation.
• Strong verbal and written communication skills with attention to detail.
