Responsibilities

The overall objective is to minimize vehicle/suspension sensitivity to variation in forces induced by road surfaces, assembly build variation, vehicular architecture, and/or wear.
Responsible for quality testing activities throughout all Program development phases; from up-front target setting and design definition, through in-vehicle testing on prototype properties, and then pre-production (pilot) properties.
Ensure that critical components have appropriate targets/specifications to minimize sensitivity to brake rotor wear (judder), tire/wheel imbalance, vehicle lead/drift/pull, steering wander, torque steer, and vehicle shake (ride). This will be accomplished through a combination of simulation, objective testing, and subjective evaluation methods
Responsible for in-vehicle development of the critical components to meet the vehicle’s overall ride, steering, handling, and tire performance objectives.
Requires specialized driving skills for subjective ride, steering, routine handling and limit handling evaluations.
Responsible for the leadership of all CAE/virtual analysis activity associated with steering/suspension hard-point development; steering/suspension component stiffness /damping specification; and ride/handling
Performance optimization for all variants of a vehicle architecture, including formulation of design recommendations.
Analysis/optimization of suspension/steering sub-system kinematics and compliance.
Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or Equivalent from an Accreditation Board for Engineering and Technology (ABET) accredited university. Driving vehicles on CPG, Dynamics assessment, familiar chassis and Dynamics components, Validation vehicles
Experience in chassis design/development and/or vehicle dynamics engineering experience.
Solid understanding of system/component design/development processes.
Experience with processes and simulation techniques associated with suspension/steering/brake system kinematics/compliance/vibration studies,
