Senior Vehicle Dynamics Engineer, Spain (Santa Oliva)

What To Expect Serve as part of the Vehicle Dynamics Engineering team to manage the ride attribute for all Tesla vehicles. Participate in tuning the full chassis to meet ride performance targets and take primary ownership of passive and adaptive damper development activities as needed. What You'll Do
- Tune chassis components (springs, bars, dampers, bushings, etc.) and active systems to ensure ride quality meets internal targets.
- Lead passive and adaptive damper tuning activities and collaborations with suppliers to meet program timing and vehicle ride, handling, and steering targets. This includes both damper hydraulic valves and software control parameters as necessary.
- Provide direction to design, controls, and modelling teams as well as supplier partners to guide vehicle and component design to be aligned with attribute requirements.
- Work closely with modelling teams to define and perform virtual tests as needed to deliver the ride attribute.
- Collaborate with other attribute owners (ride, steering, NVH, etc.) and component/system owners (body, tires, etc.) to resolve conflicts and deliver fully integrated vehicle attributes.
- Perform drive assessments and generate quantitative metrics and qualitative descriptions that then lead the changes necessary to develop vehicles in keeping with Tesla's character.
- Support developments of other vehicle areas (e.g., suspension, tires and dynamics controls).
- Generate engineering data (run logs and reports) for all activities. Participate in design, program and product reviews and provide supported feedback.
- Manage and execute testing programs, working cooperatively and efficiently communicating within a dynamic and interactive environment. What You'll Bring
- Background in Mechanical Engineering, Engineering Technology, Physics or related.
- 3+ years of experience in automotive vehicle dynamics engineering.
- Familiarity with shock absorber tuning methods and best practices.
- Experience in subjective evaluation of passenger car/truck ride, handling, and steering performance.
- Experience testing in high-speed environments at test tracks and closed circuits. #J-18808-Ljbffr Postúlate en Kit Empleo: kitempleo.es/empleo/6tsmhs
