Simulation Engineer (m/f/d) - Vehicle Dynamics for Off-Road & Defense Applications

We are seeking an experienced Simulation Engineer to develop and maintain vehicle dynamics simulation models for off-road and defense vehicle platforms. The successful candidate will create and validate vehicle dynamics and tire-soil interaction models, support Driver-in-the-Loop testing, and correlate simulation results with physical test data to deliver objective engineering solutions.

Responsibilities:

• Develop and maintain vehicle dynamics simulation models for off-road and defense vehicle platforms
• Create and validate vehicle dynamics and tire-soil interaction models
• Support Driver-in-the-Loop testing and correlate simulation results with physical test data

Requirements:

• University degree (M.Sc. or equivalent) in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field
• Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics fundamentals (lateral, longitudinal, and vertical dynamics)
• Understanding of off-road vehicle architectures (suspension, drivetrain, steering systems)
• Experience with tire-soil interaction modeling (e.g., Bekker, FTire on soft soil) is considered a plus
• Experience with AVL VSM or comparable vehicle dynamics simulation tools (e.g., Adams Car, CarMaker, VI-Grade)
• Proficient in data analysis and scripting (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, Python)
• Hands-on experience with AI-assisted development tools (e.g., Claude Code, GitHub Copilot, or similar)
• Familiarity or interest in Driver-in-the-Loop simulation environments and real-time model requirements
• Fluent in English, both written and spoken
• Team player with good communication skills in a cross-functional, international environment
• Willingness to travel domestically and internationally for testing campaigns and customer workshops

Benefits:

• Competitive compensation
• Flexible working hours
• Comfortable offices (no open space)
• Hybrid work option
• Contribution to projects of high technical complexity & business value
• International work environment
• Well-organized work at a steady, sustainable pace
