Vehicle Dynamic Test and Validation Engineer

Position: Vehicle Dynamic Test and Validation Engineer

Working Location: Hai Phong – Viet Nam

Contact to: Phan Thuy Trang (Trangpt@vietsosl.com.vn)

Job Descriptions: 

Test Planning & Preparation:

• Develop comprehensive test plans for vehicle dynamics validation, covering aspects such as steering, suspension, braking, and overall vehicle stability.
• Define test criteria and parameters in collaboration with design and engineering teams, ensuring alignment with vehicle performance targets.
• Select appropriate testing methodologies, including physical testing on proving grounds, dynamometers, or simulation-based testing environments.
• Coordinate the preparation of test vehicles, including instrumentation, sensor setup, and calibration for dynamic measurements.

Test Execution:

• Conduct on-track and on-road tests to evaluate vehicle dynamics performance, including handling, riding quality, cornering, braking, and stability.
• Perform specific tests such as slalom, lane-change maneuvers, skid pad tests, braking tests, and high-speed stability tests.
• Monitor and record real-time data during tests using data acquisition systems and advanced vehicle dynamics sensors.
• Collaborate with test drivers to gather subjective feedback on vehicle behavior and performance.
• Validate simulation models by comparing them to real-world test results, ensuring consistency between virtual models and actual vehicle behavior.
• Work with cross-functional teams to develop and validate tuning strategies for vehicle dynamics, such as suspension tuning, electronic stability control (ESC) calibration, and brake force distribution.
• Ensure compliance with vehicle dynamics performance standards set by regulatory bodies (e.g., ISO, NHTSA, SAE) and internal corporate requirements.
• Support the refinement of vehicle dynamics control systems, such as active suspension, adaptive dampers, and traction control systems.

Job Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in a related field (automotive, mechanical, mechatronic…); a master’s degree is preferred.
• Minimum of 1 year of experience in automotive vehicle dynamic or chassis system (Open Fresher)
• Experience in working for OEM is a plus.
• Hands-on experience with dynamic testing techniques and equipment such as data acquisition systems (e.g., DEWESoft, Vector, DTI), accelerometers, Steering sensor, GPS systems (S-motion, OXTS), AB Dynamic and load cells
• Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics principles such as suspension kinematics, handling, braking, and ride quality.
• Proficiency in using vehicle dynamics simulation software (e.g., MATLAB/Simulink, ADAMS/CarSim) for model validation and comparison.
• Experience with vehicle instrumentation and sensor setup for real-time data acquisition.
• Proficient in analyzing test data, plotting trends, and using data analysis tools such as MATLAB or Python.
