You will be the responsible for carrying out:
- Vehicle dynamics advanced simulation activities to support attributes development programs.
- Tyre virtual model generation and integration in the virtual chassis.
- Perform complete vehicle and suspension simulations to provide direction to the chassis development programs while minimizing the need for physical testing.
The main responsibilities of this role will be:
- Build chassis and complete vehicle models
- Perform virtual simulations to evaluate suspension kinematics & compliance and complete vehicle handling & ride comfort.
- Optimise chassis parameters in order to meet performance targets
- Define the tyre testing program for tyre modelling purposes
- Generate parametric and physical tyre models
- Support the virtual implementation of the physical tyre models in the full vehicle simulation (either in computer simulation or in driving simulators)
- Prepare/write project reports
- Presentation of project results and support decision making
To support project management and commercial actions:
- Presentation of project proposals and project results to customers
- Management of client communication and reporting
