Vehicle Dynamics Testing Engineer

Job Summary

Vehicle test engineer with good experience in vehicle dynamics field of evaluating vehicle’s ride & handling performance both subjectively & objectively along with tuning experience of Tires & Dampers. A deep understanding of applicable homologation standards, testing instrumentation, data measurement / analysis software & driving experience on proving grounds will be preferred.

Key Responsibilities

(Engineering Graduate):

• Chassis tuning and development of passenger cars [subjective & Objective evaluation] –Suspension tuning (damper, springs, anti-rollbar etc.), Electric Power Steering tuning & Tire Tuning
• Experience in dynamics analysis software such as MATLAB, Simulink, Famos, CANape, CANoe, CAR Sim, SUS Sim etc.
• Knowledge of Instrumentation, Execution and Analysis technique of ride and handling objective tests as per standards.
• Excellent driving and vehicle evaluation skills along with proving ground driving experience
• Ascertain the subjective evaluation feelings and able to correlate with objective data.
• Able to evolve new test procedures derived from global standards to quantify VD handling objective metrics.
• Involvement in CAE modelling and simulation analysis (Tires, Vehicle, steering etc) & chassis design principles including Kinematic and Compliance measurement, Vehicle CAE model analysis –to meet the performance target.
• Able to drive, compare the competitor models and propose the targets for upcoming models.

Key Responsibilities

(Diploma Holder):

• Perform objective measurement related to Ride & Handling [MSIL Internal & ISO Test Standards]
• Hands on experience on Steering Angle Sensor, Navigational Sensors, Steering Robot, V Box, Data loggers & accelerometers, CANape, CANoe Tools.
