Tire Technical Lead – Vehicle Dynamics & Virtual Development

Position Summary

We are seeking a technically strong and highly motivated Tire Technical Lead to lead tire development activities for automotive vehicle programs. This role requires deep knowledge of tire performance, vehicle dynamics, tire testing, and tire-to-vehicle integration, combined with strong capability in digital and virtual development methods.

The ideal candidate will be able to bridge traditional physical tire development with modern CAE, tire modeling, offline simulation, and driving simulator methods, helping move tire development earlier in the vehicle development process and reducing dependence on physical prototypes.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead tire development and technical execution from early concept through production validation.
  • Define tire performance requirements and translate overall vehicle targets into tire-level engineering targets.
  • Lead tire development across key performance attributes, including:
  • Ride and comfort
  • Handling and steering response
  • Dry and wet grip
  • Braking
  • NVH
  • Rolling resistance
  • Durability
  • Snow/winter performance, where applicable
  • Provide technical direction for tire selection, specification, development, testing, tuning, and validation.
  • Work closely with tire suppliers and internal engineering teams to resolve tire and vehicle performance issues.
  • Correlate objective test data, subjective vehicle evaluations, simulation results, and tire models to guide engineering decisions.
  • Lead and expand the use of virtual tire development, including:
  • Tire modeling and characterization
  • Offline vehicle dynamics simulation
  • Model-in-the-loop (MiL) and related virtual development methodologies
  • Driving simulator applications
  • Correlation of virtual predictions with physical vehicle and tire testing
  • Identify development activities that can be completed virtually before physical prototypes or tire iterations are available.
  • Support continuous improvement of virtual tire models, simulation tools, processes, and correlation methods.
  • Partner with vehicle dynamics, chassis, controls, CAE, suspension, steering, brake, and powertrain teams to optimize overall vehicle performance.
  • Lead technical problem solving and root-cause analysis for tire-related vehicle performance issues.
  • Support benchmarking and assessment of competitive vehicle and tire technologies.
  • Mentor engineers and provide technical leadership within the tire development organization.

What We Are Looking For

We are looking for someone who is not only a strong traditional tire engineer, but also someone who can help transform how tire development is performed. The successful candidate should be comfortable moving between physical testing, vehicle evaluation, engineering data, tire models, simulation, and driving simulators.

The person should have the technical depth to challenge assumptions, identify issues early, establish clear performance targets, and use both physical and virtual development methods to deliver tire and vehicle performance efficiently.

Basic Qualifications:

  • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, or a closely related engineering discipline.
  • Minimum of 8 years of experience in related field. Strong technical background in automotive tire development and/or vehicle dynamics.
  • Demonstrated understanding of tire characteristics and their influence on vehicle ride, handling, steering, braking, and overall vehicle performance.
  • Experience with physical tire testing, vehicle testing, data analysis, and engineering problem solving.
  • Experience working with tire manufacturers/OEM tire development organizations.
  • Strong analytical skills and ability to correlate objective measurements with subjective vehicle performance.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to lead technical discussions across engineering teams and suppliers.

Digital / Virtual Development Skills

The preferred candidate will have demonstrated experience with one or more of the following:

  • Tire modeling and parameterization
  • Vehicle dynamics simulation
  • Offline/virtual tire development
  • Driving simulator development and evaluation
  • CAE-based vehicle performance development
  • Tire model correlation with physical test data
  • MATLAB/Simulink or comparable engineering analysis tools
  • Tire modeling approaches such as MF-Tyre/Pacejka, FTire, CDTire, or similar methodologies
  • Vehicle simulation platforms such as VI-CarRealTime, CarMaker, Adams/Car, Simpack, or comparable tools
  • Data analysis and automation using MATLAB, Python, or similar engineering environments

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Vehicle Dynamics, Automotive Engineering, Controls, or related field.
  • Significant experience in OEM or Tier-1 automotive tire/vehicle dynamics development.
  • Experience leading tire development programs from target setting through production release.
  • Experience developing or applying tire models for offline simulation and/or driving simulators.
  • Understanding of suspension, steering, chassis controls, and their interaction with tire characteristics.
  • Experience developing correlation between simulation, driving simulator, proving-ground testing, and subjective evaluation.
  • Demonstrated technical leadership and ability to mentor engineers.
