hirify.global is developing electrified and digitally enabled pickup trucks and rugged SUVs, including all-electric and range-extender powertrains.

What you will do

• Develop and validate high-fidelity rigid and flexible multibody dynamics models, including FEA flexible bodies for vibration and nonlinear component behavior.
• Run full-vehicle virtual proving ground simulations using digitized road surfaces, road profiles, and advanced tire models such as F-Tire, CD-Tire, and MF-Swift.
• Generate and cascade loads across chassis, suspension, vehicle, joints, bushings, mounts, and components.
• Perform structural damage prediction, fatigue analysis, and durability assessments using FEA software.
• Optimize chassis, suspension, steering kinematics, and powertrain components for ride, handling, stability, durability, and weight targets.
• Build co-simulation workflows, correlate virtual results with physical RLDA data, automate analysis, and communicate findings through technical reports and presentations.

Requirements

• Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field, or a bachelor’s degree with equivalent exceptional experience.
• At least eight years of automotive multibody simulation experience with demonstrated CAE and vehicle dynamics results.
• Advanced proficiency with MSC Adams, Simpack, or MotionSolve.
• Experience with high-fidelity tire modeling, road-profile digitization, structural analysis, fatigue, durability, vibration theory, and vehicle dynamics.
• Proficiency in Python or MATLAB/Simulink for simulation automation, co-simulation, and data post-processing.
• Strong analytical, communication, and multidisciplinary collaboration skills.

Culture & Benefits

• Opportunity to build new vehicles and a company around an iconic automotive brand.
• Medical, dental, vision, and income protection insurance plans.
• 401(k) with employer match and immediate vesting.
