Principal Engineer - Vehicle Dynamics Controls (m/f/d)

We are seeking a skilled candidate in Intelligent Vehicle Dynamics for vehicle stability, handling, and performance for human and Autonomous Driving Solution (ADS) features. The ideal candidate will have deep understanding and interest in modeling of vehicle dynamics control strategies especially for highly automated vehicles, including stability and safety control based on x‑by‑wire system. Your role in a multidisciplinary team requires collaboration with our global research and development community. You will be working on future trends of technologies, architectures, requirements in Intelligent Vehicle Dynamics.

Your mission

• Develop and refine control algorithms for vehicle dynamics systems, for lateral and longitudinal dynamics (e.g. stability control, steer‑by‑wire control, brake and traction control).
• Implement advanced control strategies using Model Predictive Control (MPC), PID, or adaptive or robust control techniques.
• Drive innovation in vehicle dynamics control for emerging technologies, such as autonomous vehicles, x‑by‑wire systems and electric vehicles (EVs).
• Create high‑fidelity vehicle dynamics controls models using tools such as MATLAB/Simulink or similar.
• Work closely with cross‑functional teams, including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, as well as suppliers and external partners.

Your areas of expertise

• Master’s or higher degree in Automotive Engineering Control Systems or a related field, with a focus on vehicle dynamics or control systems.
• 6+ years of experience in developing control systems for vehicle dynamics or related automotive systems. Deep understanding of vehicle dynamics principles, kinematics, and control theory.
• Proven expertise in designing and deploying control algorithms for chassis systems or autonomous driving system.
• Proficiency in MATLAB/Simulink/C/C++, dSPACE, and related tools for modeling and simulation.
• Strong communication ability and make the planned deliverables happen under pressure.
• Enthusiastic to work as part of our distributed, multi‑cultural, international team and fluent communication skills in English. German and/or Chinese language knowledge will be an advantage.
• Willing to travel to China (up to 25% of time).

Your rewards of working here

• Our culture is characterized by innovative power and team spirit as well as the intensive exchange of knowledge and experience within our global network.
• We offer healthy meals ranging from traditional Chinese to western delicacies in our famous company canteen.
• To keep your development ongoing, you will find a broad range of training opportunities. Many online and face‑to‑face training programs incl. language courses in German and Mandarin.
• Our diverse and welcoming environment is shaped by different backgrounds and around 40 individual nationalities.
• Self‑responsible work in a competent, motivated and constantly growing team.
