CAE Engineer

Vehicle Dynamics CAE Engineer

Our client, a leader in autonomous mobility, is seeking a CAE Engineer to join their team. As a CAE Engineer, you will be part of the Vehicle Development department supporting Vehicle Integration, Testing & Validation. The ideal candidate will have strong analytical skills, experience building high-fidelity vehicle dynamics models, and the ability to correlate simulation results with physical measurements—aligning successfully in the organization.

Location: Foster City, CA

Pay Range: $90-$95/hour + Benefits

What's the Job?

• Develop and maintain high-fidelity multibody vehicle dynamics models using MSC Adams to support ride, handling, and overall vehicle performance.
• Own vehicle dynamics performance by directing and collaborating with Ride, Handling, NVH, Loads Cascade, Vehicle Control, CAE, and Vehicle Integration Attribute teams.
• Generate Suspension, Full Vehicle, and PWT loads following established process requirements to enable downstream engineering decisions.
• Define and track key vehicle dynamics metrics and targets using both physical test results and CAE data.
• Correlate simulation results with measurements from the vehicle or subsystems, continuously improving simulation accuracy and supporting active safety performance development and validation.

What's Needed?

• 5+ years of relevant experience in vehicle dynamics performance development and simulation.
• Hands-on experience with vehicle dynamics CAE development tools, including MSC Adams, CarMaker, and Matlab/Simulink.
• Strong knowledge of vehicle dynamics CAE to test correlation and validation practices.
• Ability to support performance balancing across vehicle integration attributes and software controls development.
• Strong analytical skills with a mindset focused on accuracy, iteration, and measurable improvement.

What's in it for me?

• Work on a robot platform where vehicle ride quality, responsiveness, and controllability directly impact occupant confidence and trust.
• Collaborate with a world-class engineering team across robotics, control, and vehicle engineering disciplines.
• Take ownership of vehicle dynamics performance through both physical and virtual testing.
• Help supplier partners improve component delivery for ride and handling through technical collaboration and feedback.
• Contribute to active safety performance development by validating performance against industry expectations.
