Vehicle Dynamics Engineer at Self-Employed (2025-10 – Present)
Remote support for vehicle dynamics and simulation engineering
- Supported clients remotely by troubleshooting simulation issues, validating models, and recommending parameter changes for better correlation between simulation and real vehicle behaviour.
- Developed custom vehicle setup Optimisations through personal Sim racing project, processing telemetry data in MoTeC i2 to refine suspension, Tyre pressures, and aero configurations for faster, more consistent lap times.
Application Engineer at VI-Grade Srl (2024-10 – 2025-09)
Software testing, validation and customer support for VI-CarRealTime multibody simulation software
- Conducted software testing and validation of VI-CarRealTime from v2025.1 to v2026.1, multibody simulation software for automotive clients, ensuring system reliability and performance Optimisation.
- Provided customer support by resolving complex technical issues encountered by clients and delivering effective solutions. Collaborated with multiple leading automotive companies to address their vehicle dynamics challenges.
- Developed a new diagnostic test using VI CarRealtime to estimate electric vehicle range and fuel emissions following the WLTP test cycle. Developed a performance diagnostic focused on longitudinal dynamics, evaluating acceleration from zero to top speed and deceleration back to zero.
- Utilized VI-DriveSim and WorldSim platforms like Driving simulators of DiM 400, FSS to create realistic test scenarios for automotive development and ADAS testing applications.
Master's Thesis at BeonD Srl (2023-06 – 2024-07)
Semi-active suspension modeling and simulation with smart ball joint sensors
- Modeled and simulated a semi-active suspension with smart ball joint sensors measuring forces to auto-adjust damping for roll and pitch control.
- Performed Adams Car simulations on a virtual FIAT 500 using step steer, lane change, swept sine steer, and braking maneuvers to set performance targets.
- Co-simulated Adams Car with MATLAB Simulink and a Stateflow controller for real-time force feedback and dynamic damping adjustment.
- Delivered a plug-and-play simulation framework as a foundation for future real-world vehicle dynamics enhancements.
Bachelor's Thesis at Defence Research and Development Organisation (2020-01 – 2020-06)
Missile tail structural analysis and validation
- I worked on a missile's tail approximating it as a Cantilever beam. Analysis and simulation were carried out for both static and dynamic conditions like extreme operational temperatures and aerodynamic loads on material deformation and stress distribution.
- Managed the Verification & Validation cycle for a missile tail structural project, performing Modal Analysis to verify dynamic characteristics and subsequently conducting physical test bench validation using Data Acquisition systems (DAQ) to correlate empirical data with FEA models.
- Analysed sensor telemetry to pinpoint stress concentrations and led iterative design improvements that increased structural efficiency by 5% based on empirical test data.
