Multi-Body Dynamics; MBD Engineer – AVL EXCITE

Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled Multi-Body Dynamics Engineer with strong experience in AVL EXCITE to support simulation, analysis, and optimization of mechanical systems. The role focuses on dynamic behavior, vibration, durability, and performance of powertrain and rotating systems.

• Develop and validate MBD models using AVL EXCITE (Power Unit, Gearbox, Timing Drive, Shaft Systems, etc.)
• Perform dynamic simulations for NVH, durability, torsional vibration, and bearing loads
• Correlate simulation results with test and measurement data
• Support concept development, design optimization, and issue resolution
• Collaborate with design, CAE, NVH, and testing teams
• Document simulation methods, assumptions, and results clearly
• Support automation of simulation workflows where applicable

• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field
• 3–8+ years of experience in Multi-Body Dynamics or system simulation
• Strong hands-on experience with AVL EXCITE
• Solid understanding of rotor dynamics, vibration, dynamics, and mechanical systems
• Experience with powertrain components (engines, transmissions, shafts, bearings, gears)
• Ability to interpret test data and perform correlation
• Strong analytical and problem-solving skills

• Experience with MATLAB, Python, or CAE automation
• Exposure to other MBD tools (MSC Adams, SIMPACK)
• NVH or durability background
• Automotive, off-highway, or heavy-duty vehicle experience
