Position description
TECOSIM is expanding our dynamic Engineering team in the UK as part of our ongoing growth. We are looking for a talented Vehicle Dynamics Engineer to join our Clients team based in Royal Leamington Spa. This role would best suit someone who has theoretical vehicle dynamics experience and ADAMS/Car knowledge.
Simulation & Modelling
* Develop and refine full-vehicle and subsystem models using MSC ADAMS/Car or ADAMS/View for multi-body dynamics analysis
* Calibrate models against test data and ensure correlation accuracy for use in performance prediction and system tuning.
Ride, Handling & Stability Analysis
* Analyse vehicle ride comfort, steering feel, lateral/longitudinal dynamics, and transient handling behaviour across a range of operating conditions.
* Conduct sensitivity studies and performance trade-off analysis to guide suspension geometry and chassis tuning.
Chassis & Suspension Development
* Support design and virtual validation of suspension (passive and semi-active), steering, and braking systems.
* Conduct Kinematics and Compliance (K&C) studies to assess bushing stiffness, camber/toe curves, and compliance steer.
Active System Integration
* Collaborate with controls and systems engineering teams to model and evaluate the performance of active chassis systems, including: Active damping systems (e.g., CDC, semi-active dampers), active roll control and anti-roll systems, rear-wheel steering and active front steering, torque vectoring systems and differential control
* Perform scenario-based simulation to assess control strategies and system-level impact on vehicle dynamics.
Performance & Benchmarking
* Define and support vehicle performance targets related to ride, handling, and drivability.
* Benchmark competitor vehicles using both simulation data and physical testing to establish performance baselines.
Reporting & Collaboration
* Summarise findings and recommendations through detailed engineering reports and presentations.
* Interface directly with OEM customers, test teams, and internal stakeholders to ensure alignment with program goals.
Skills required
* Strong Theoretical vehicle dynamics knowledge
* Strong knowledge of vehicle Tuning techniques
* Strong knowledge of Calibration techniques and sw used in Automotive
* Good understanding of K&C axle data, Vehicle Dynamics Metrics, Targets and Testing
Experience required
* Minimum 5 years of experience in Vehicle dynamics
* Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.
Additional Information
* Hybrid Working available
* Multiple roles available
* This position accepts candidates with visa requirements
