About the role
- We connect planner and controller intent to realistic motion across highway, city, parking, and active-safety scenarios.
- In this Principal-level individual contributor role, you'll shape a production vehicle dynamics simulation framework spanning model fidelity, parameter adaptation, software interfaces, validation, and integration.
Responsibilities
- Develop production-quality C++ interfaces for simplified, replay-based, and high-fidelity multibody models.
- Create scalable model-selection, parameter-identification, adaptation, and validation workflows for diverse vehicle platforms.
- Partner with planning and controls, parking, active safety, simulation reliability, synthetic data, and product teams.
- Set technical standards, mentor engineers, and supply hands-on through design, implementation, debugging, testing, and documentation.
- A record of building modular, testable production systems for simulation, computer-aided engineering, robotics, autonomous vehicles, automotive controls, or physics-based software.
- Come build the future of autonomous vehicle simulation with us!
Requirements
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Robotics, Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Aerospace Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent experience).
- 15+ years of relevant industry experience.
- Experience with Project Chrono and Chrono::Vehicle, CARLA, CarSim, CarMaker, Simulink and Simscape, ADAMS, Simbody, BeamNG, Unreal Engine and PhysX, or comparable simulation frameworks.
Skills
- Join us in making demanding maneuvers-from low-speed parking to evasive steering and hard braking-more faithful in simulation!
Compensation
- Your base salary will be determined based on your location, experience, and the pay of employees in similar positions.
- The base salary range is 248,000 USD - 391,000 USD.
Benefits
- Be responsible for the technical vision, architecture, and roadmap for vehicle dynamics simulation across highway, city, parking, active-safety, and low-speed workflows.
- Proven ability to calibrate and validate simulation models using measured logs, test-track data, controlled maneuvers, or simulation benchmarks while maintaining deterministic behavior and regression coverage.
- You will also be eligible for equity and benefits.
