Premier Motorsports company is looking for a Vehicle Dynamics Simulation Engineer onsite in Santa Clarita, CA. This position is needed for 1 year with a possibility of a year extension.

The preferred candidate will have this experience:

• Design, produce, maintain, and refine mathematical software models and analysis tools for the purposes of vehicle performance simulation and optimization.
• Develop vehicle modelling simulation tools.
• Create and develop models of vehicles to be tested on the DIL simulator.
• Gather characterization data for relevant vehicle systems. Help validate aero models in client's vehicle performance simulation tools.
• Work with client groups to validate powertrain models used in vehicle simulation. Contribute to development of vehicle dynamics simulation platforms (debug and validate tools).
• Support rig testing to characterize systems: suspension kinematics and compliance, center of mass, inertia, shaker, wind tunnel, etc.
• Help create rig and track test plans, attend tests, and create reports.
• Communicate on project and testing status. Present/report results in a format that is clear and complete. Create and post technical reports in a timely manner. Control documents (including electronic documents) per records retention policy.
• Liaise with client engineers and racing team partners. Maintain communication and collaboration within client, other client companies, and external partners.
• Develop software within the ecosystem of client's vehicle performance tools and methods.
• Programming of vehicle simulation models and systems in C++ or Dymola.
• Self-educate and employ modern software development best practices.
• Create software tools to efficiently analyze chassis and vehicle performance data from multiple sources (test rig, simulation, and circuit).
• Design, implement, test, and maintain vehicle control system software.
