Vehicle Dynamics ECCS Simulation Engineer

Applus+ IDIADA

Develop, integrate and analyze chassis control systems virtually in order to understand its influence on full vehicle dynamics performance.

Create logic concepts as well as implement and document simulation models for the development of chassis control systems (ESC/TCS/ABS/AWD/e-LSD/ICC/etc.) (component test, system integration, validation);
Work on vehicle integration of chassis control systems (ESC, AWD, e-LSD, etc.) through collaboration with Ride & Handling and Brake engineers both in offline and online simulations (MiL, SiL, DiL). A close collaboration with subjective expert drivers, Electronic Chassis Control engineers, electronics engineers and Driving simulator engineers is expected as well;
Support chassis control system research & development activities;
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.

M. Sc. or higher in Mechanical Engineering or Control Engineering equivalent;
2-4 years of experience in automotive chassis control system development with a focus on Vehicle Dynamics;
Knowledge of vehicle dynamics theory, control system design and modern control and estimation strategies;
Vehicle dynamics simulation experience with multi-body (ADAMS) and/or lookup tables-based models (VI-CarRealTime, IPG CarMaker, CarSim, etc.);
Data post-processing skills;
Experience in model/software-in-the-loop simulation, Vehicle Dynamics, ADAS Systems and its integration into Real Time systems;
Proficiency in Simulink, MATLAB and Linux as well as strong programming skills;
