Job Description
We are seeking an experienced Vehicle Dynamics Analyst to join our chassis engineering team. In this role, you will lead multibody dynamics simulations to finalise suspension hard points, define component-level design verification plans (DVPs), and ensure our vehicles meet challenging ride, handling, and durability targets. You will work closely with cross-functional teams across the full product development cycle — from concept through to production sign-off.
Key Responsibilities
Simulation & Analysis
- Perform multibody dynamics simulations of suspension and steering systems using ADAMS or equivalent MBD software to finalise hard-point layouts against dynamic performance targets.
- Calculate forces and moments acting on suspension components during a wide range of vehicle manoeuvres; use results to define component-level DVPs.
- Execute virtual replication of physical durability tests (e.g. 3-post, 4-post, 6-post rig, single-corner rig, single-actuator, bump roller) within ADAMS to accelerate development cycles.
Suspension & Steering Systems
- Evaluate suspension aggregates, including springs, dampers, bushings, and anti-roll bars, and recommend design optimisations based on simulation and test correlation.
- Correlate on-road ride and handling behaviour with simulation predictions; implement model updates to improve fidelity and predictive accuracy.
- Support the design and validation of steering systems, assessing steering feel, returnability, and understeer/oversteer characteristics.
