Dynamics Engineer (Propulsion Systems Virtual Engineering)
This role is responsible for working within the Propulsion Systems Virtual Engineering team, focusing on simulations to support product development and research activity in the areas of dynamics for durability, functionality, andNVH.It includes ownership of collecting input data, developing and validating 1D, 2D, and 3D virtual models, running simulations, post-processing, and communicating analytical results to customers.
The position also involves responding to requests from product-responsible departments by delivering analytical results using available methodologies, as well as proposing and developing new virtual tools and methods whenever existing solutions are not sufficient to meet project demands.The position defines and executes the development and validation of Multi-Body Dynamics (MBD) and Finite Element (FE) models for propulsion components, sub systems, and complete systems.
This scope encompasses the dynamic behavior of internal combustion engine mechanical systems—including timing drives, valvetrains, FEAD, direct injection pumps, and balancer shafts—as well as the dynamic behavior and NVH phenomena, such as rattle and whine, of transmissions and hybrid torsional dampers.Additionally, the role manages critical driveline phenomena including powerhop, ice rink, and tip-in/tip-out clunk, alongside park gear systems and wheel end disconnect mechanisms.
A key part of the role is executing dynamic simulations through MBD models to evaluate vibrations, loads, and boundary conditions, while leading detailed root cause analyses and correlation activities to elevate the confidence level of virtual results.The position utilizes a strong understanding of physics to identify dynamics and NVH issues and proposes optimized solutions through Design of Experiments (DoE) to balance trade offs between performance, durability, weight, and functionality.
This person also acts as a primary technical point of contact for stakeholders, managing data validation, results revision, and technical communication across all steering activities.Additionally, the position supports engineering projects on a global scale, requiring effective time and workload management to guarantee high-quality deliveries under tight deadlines.The role drives continuous improvement and refinement of applied calculation methodologies to optimize precision against available resources, while ensuring constant alignment and integration with multidisciplinary teams to maintain a broader, system-level approach toward the final product.
Candidates should hold a Bachelor's or Master's degree in Engineering, preferably in Mechanical, Aerospace, Applied Physics, Applied Mathematics, or a related STEM field, with a PhD being highly desirable.The role requires experience developing dynamics simulations, preferably for propulsion systems within the automotive, aerospace, or electronics industries.Proven technical capability in vector mechanics, statics, mechanical vibrations, and machine design is essential, alongside strong hands-on experience with vehicle systems, including internal combustion engines, conventional transmissions, drivelines, and electrified or hybrid propulsion architectures.
The position also requires proficiency with advanced simulation and engineering tools, including ANSA/META, Nastran, Abaqus, Actran, AVL Excite, Contecs Simdrive, Siemens NX, and Teamcenter.Advanced English, both written and spoken, is required to effectively collaborate with global teams and external partners.Strong analytical thinking, complex problem-solving capability, and excellent interpersonal and technical communication skills are essential to drive innovation, lead change, and maintain collaborative relationships across diverse teams.
