Body on Frame - Suspension Components Design Engineer

Job Description

• Lead the design and development of BOF chassis frames for various vehicle platforms, considering factors such as structural integrity, weight optimization, safety standards, and manufacturing feasibility.
• Collaborate closely with the Vehicle Integration, Structural Analysis, and Manufacturing teams to ensure seamless integration of chassis frames into the overall vehicle architecture.
• Utilize advanced engineering software and tools to create detailed 3D models, simulations, and prototypes to validate design concepts and assess performance.
• Conduct thorough engineering analysis, including finite element analysis (FEA), structural simulations, and stress testing, to ensure frames meet or exceed performance and safety requirements.
• Optimize chassis frame designs for weight reduction, material efficiency, and cost-effectiveness without compromising structural integrity and safety.
• Participate in design reviews, cross-functional team meetings, and project milestones to provide expertise, communicate progress, and address challenges.
• Collaborate with suppliers to source and evaluate materials and components that align with design specifications and quality standards.
• Stay current with industry trends, emerging technologies, and advancements in chassis frame design, integrating relevant innovations into our product development process.
• Support prototype builds, vehicle testing, and validation activities to ensure designs perform as intended and identify areas for continuous improvement.
• Document and maintain accurate design specifications, engineering drawings, and technical reports throughout the product development lifecycle.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field. Master's degree preferred.
• Proficiency in CAD software (e.g., CATIA, SolidWorks) and structural analysis tools (e.g., ANSYS, Abaqus).
• Strong understanding of engineering principles, materials science, and manufacturing processes related to chassis frames.
• Knowledge of relevant industry standards, regulations, and safety requirements.
• Excellent problem-solving skills and the ability to think creatively to overcome design challenges.
• Effective communication skills to collaborate with cross-functional teams, present findings, and drive consensus.
• Experience with project management methodologies and tools is a plus.
• Strong attention to detail and commitment to producing high-quality work.
• Adaptability to a fast-paced and evolving work environment.
