What is a vehicle dynamics engineer?

A Vehicle Dynamics Engineer is responsible for optimizing a vehicle's ride, handling, and stability to ensure safety and performance. They use simulation tools, testing, and data analysis to develop suspension, steering, and braking systems. Their role involves working with mechanical and software teams to refine vehicle behavior under various conditions. This position is critical in automotive, motorsports, and autonomous vehicle development.

What types of projects and teams do vehicle dynamics engineers typically work on?

Vehicle Dynamics Engineers often collaborate with multidisciplinary teams including design engineers, test drivers, software developers, and manufacturing specialists to optimize a vehicle's ride, handling, and stability. Projects may range from developing suspension systems to tuning steering or braking components, often requiring both simulation-based analysis and on-track validation. The work environment is dynamic, blending office-based analysis with hands-on testing at proving grounds. This collaborative and project-driven structure provides continuous learning and opportunities to make a direct impact on vehicle performance and user experience.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a vehicle dynamics engineer?

A Vehicle Dynamics Engineer should have a solid understanding of mechanical engineering, physics, and mathematics, typically backed by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency in simulation tools such as MATLAB/Simulink, CarSim, and data acquisition systems, along with knowledge of automotive industry standards, is often required. Strong problem-solving skills, effective communication, and teamwork are vital soft skills for this role. These abilities are important to develop, analyze, and refine vehicle performance to ensure safety, comfort, and optimal handling characteristics.

Job description

About IWV

Iron Will Ventures is a cleared defense small business supporting the nation's highest-priority hypersonic flight test, missile defense, and launch operations missions. We deliver practitioner-grade technical, program, and acquisition support to DoW customers across the enterprise — including TRMC, MDA, JHTO, and the missile enterprise community.


Position Summary
Iron Will Ventures (IWV) seeks a Modeling & Simulation Engineer to support hypersonic and strike weapon system development, test planning, and analysis at NSWC Crane. The successful candidate will build and execute engagement- and engineering-level models — principally AFSIM and 6-DOF trajectory simulations — to inform flight test design, performance assessment, and weapon system integration decisions for DoD sponsors including OUSD(R&E)/TRMC, JHTO, and Navy program offices.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, modify, and execute AFSIM scenarios and platform/sensor/weapon models to support mission-level trade studies, campaign analysis, and capability gap assessment.
  • Build and validate 6-DOF flight dynamics models for hypersonic and tactical missile configurations; support aero database integration, GNC model insertion, and Monte Carlo dispersion analysis.
  • Generate trajectory products supporting flight test planning: nominal and dispersed trajectories, footprint and debris analysis inputs, range safety data packages, and instrumentation/coverage assessments.
  • Perform post-flight reconstruction and model validation against telemetry and range-collected data; document deltas and recommend model updates.
  • Support digital mission engineering workflows — model configuration control, data standards, automation of run matrices, and integration of M&S products into government decision artifacts.
  • Produce technical documentation, analysis briefs, and quick-turn responses for government leadership.
  • Coordinate with prime contractors, test ranges, and government technical leads; represent IWV in working groups and technical interchange meetings.


Required Qualifications

  • Ability to Obtain a DoD Secret clearance (TS/SCI eligible preferred).
  • Bachelor's degree in Aerospace, Mechanical, or Electrical Engineering, Physics, or Applied Mathematics.
  • 5+ years of hands-on M&S experience in a DoD or defense-industry environment.
  • Demonstrated AFSIM proficiency — scenario construction, model development, and results analysis (not solely end-user operation).
  • Demonstrated 6-DOF simulation experience for missiles, launch vehicles, or hypersonic vehicles.
  • Working proficiency in Python and/or MATLAB for data reduction, automation, and visualization.
  • Ability to work on-site at NSWC Crane and travel as required.


Desired Qualifications

  • Active DoD Secret clearance (TS/SCI eligible preferred).
  • Experience supporting hypersonic flight test programs (MACH-TB, MACH-XL, CPS, LRHW, ARRW, or equivalent).
  • AFSIM plugin/extension development in C++.
  • Familiarity with range safety analysis, flight termination, and launch approval processes.
  • Experience with aero prediction and trajectory tools (Missile DATCOM, POST, OTIS, TAOS, GHAME, or equivalent).
  • Exposure to threat modeling, EMS/plasma sheath effects, or seeker/RF performance modeling.
  • Prior SETA or A&AS support to a government program office.
  • M.S. in a relevant engineering discipline.


Travel

  • Up to 25% CONUS, primarily to test ranges and sponsor sites.
