The Job Role: Vehicle Dynamics Engineer Location: Royal Leamington Spa Contract Type: Contract, Hybrid About usAre you driven by innovation and eager to work with a global leader in engineering and technology solutions? At TECOSIM, you'll be part of a world-class team of forward-thinkers renowned for pushing boundaries and shaping the future across industries. As a trusted partner to leading automotive, aerospace and energy, TECOSIM specialises in advanced simulations, digital engineering, and end-to-end product development. With a global footprint and a commitment to excellence, we transform complex engineering challenges into cutting-edge solutions. Position descriptionTECOSIM 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 & ModellingDevelop and refine full-vehicle and subsystem models using MSC ADAMS/Car or ADAMS/View for multi-body dynamics analysisCalibrate models against test data and ensure correlation accuracy for use in performance prediction and system tuning.Ride, Handling & Stability AnalysisAnalyse 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 DevelopmentSupport 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 IntegrationCollaborate 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 controlPerform scenario-based simulation to assess control strategies and system-level impact on vehicle dynamics.Performance & BenchmarkingDefine 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 & CollaborationSummarise 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 requiredStrong Theoretical vehicle dynamics knowledgeStrong knowledge of vehicle Tuning techniquesStrong knowledge of Calibration techniques and sw used in AutomotiveGood understanding of K&C axle data, Vehicle Dynamics Metrics, Targets and TestingExperience requiredMinimum 5 years of experience in Vehicle dynamicsBachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.Additional InformationHybrid Working available Multiple roles available This position accepts candidates with visa requirements
