At Aston Martin Lagonda, we don’t just create vehicles – we engineer driving emotion. As part of our Advanced Engineering team, you'll be at the forefront of pre-development, contributing to some of the most exciting projects in the luxury performance automotive world. This is your opportunity to help shape how our vehicles behave, respond, and endure – long before they hit the road. In this role, you'll work closely with a small, collaborative team of Vehicle Dynamics and Chassis Simulation Engineers. Together, you'll lead simulation activities that support vehicle development gateways and digital verification plans. You'll play a key role in translating attribute targets into engineering specifications, providing data-driven insights that influence critical design decisions. From investigating chassis and dynamics challenges, to developing and refining advanced simulation processes, you’ll help us enhance the accuracy, efficiency, and value of our virtual development tools. You’ll be hands-on with multibody simulation software and contribute to continuous improvement across a wide range of vehicle performance areas, including handling, durability, NVH, and powertrain integration. You’ll also work alongside controls engineers and software suppliers to help shape the algorithms behind our cutting-edge driving systems. This is a varied and fast-paced role with a clear impact: the performance data you generate and interpret will directly inform how we engineer our vehicles. If you thrive in a technically challenging environment where your ideas are valued and your curiosity is encouraged, we’d love to hear from you. What You’ll Bring Essential: MSc (or higher) in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, Physics or a closely related field Initial experience in multibody simulation tools used for vehicle dynamics (e.g., ADAMS/Car, VI-CarRealTime, Simpack, Dymola) Understanding of suspension systems, kinematics and compliance, and their impact on full vehicle attributes Basic knowledge of tyre dynamic behaviours and how they influence performance Exposure to virtual development processes and vehicle attribute simulation Experience using MATLAB/Simulink for modelling and data processing Proven ability in post-processing, analysis, and optimisation techniques Desirable: Experience with tyre modelling for handling and ride comfort analysis Exposure to performance analysis of ICE, hybrid, or electric powertrains Familiarity with ADAMS/Car and VI-CarRealTime Development of analysis tools in MATLAB or Python PhD in a relevant engineering or scientific discipline This role would suit someone early in their post-graduate career – possibly just finishing a graduate scheme – who’s looking to build depth in simulation, vehicle dynamics, and cross-functional engineering. The team environment is supportive and open, and you’ll be surrounded by specialists who are eager to share knowledge and challenge convention. If you’re a curious, driven engineer who thrives on solving complex problems and enjoys collaborating with others to deliver world-class products, this could be your ideal next step.
