As part of its ongoing expansion, vehicle design and development service provider Randle Engineering has hired Javier Maruenda as senior vehicle dynamics engineer. According to the company, it will continue to bring on board new engineering team members as demand for its services in the passenger car, off-road, agriculture and defense sectors grows.
Maruenda brings a wealth of experience including more than nine years in vehicle dynamics, covering both passenger and commercial vehicles across multiple global OEMs, with specialist knowledge in multibody dynamics, simulation model creation, kinematics and compliance optimization, active chassis systems, vehicle testing, calibration and validation.
Most recently, he served as vehicle dynamics principal engineer at an automotive technology business where he was involved in developing software‑defined, zero‑emission vehicle platforms, integrating advanced drive and control systems. This involved both physical and simulation-based vehicle dynamics validation.
Prior to that, he held roles at Tata Motors European Technical Centre, Jaguar Land Rover and Idiada where he was heavily involved in ADAMS model development, target setting, objective and subjective benchmarking, procedural development, R&D leadership and technical training delivery.
Maruenda is currently completing an MSc in maths and computing engineering, specializing in numerical methods and dynamic systems modeling.
“Randle combines serious engineering intelligence with a genuinely welcoming culture, which is a rare and powerful mix,” he said. “The first‑principles mindset and cross‑sector work make it an inspiring place to think, test and build ideas. I’m delighted to be joining the team and contributing to what comes next.”
Peter Benzie, engineering manager at Randle Engineering, commented, “We are thrilled to bring Javier into the team. He is a fantastic fit with his technical ability, inquisitive nature and collaborative skills. Known for his questioning approach and desire to truly understand the mathematics behind every problem, he brings a rare depth of analytical thinking to his work in vehicle dynamics, modeling and advanced control. This mindset significantly underpins our capability and reflects our commitment to delivering intellectually rigorous consultancy across automotive, defence, aerospace, robotics and beyond.”
The company said it has had a strong start to 2026 with numerous new engineering projects secured.
