Suspension Design Engineer

We are seeking a talented and motivated Suspension Design Engineer to join our growing team at the Multimatic Technical Centre Europe (MTCE).

You will play a hands-on role in the design, development, and validation of advanced suspension systems and components for a range of high-profile automotive programmes.

From concept through to production, you will be involved in creating innovative design solutions, building and testing prototypes, and supporting our customers with world-class engineering documentation and technical expertise.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and model suspension components and assemblies using Siemens NX CAD software, from initial concept through to production-intent design.
• Create and maintain engineering records, including drawings, bills of materials, and design documentation to the highest standards.
• Plan and conduct physical testing of engineering prototypes, analysing results and feeding findings back into the design process.
• Ensure all components and assemblies meet applicable regulatory, industry, and customer-specific standards.
• Present design solutions and technical reports to both internal stakeholders and external customers.
• Collaborate across multi-disciplinary teams, supporting programme delivery and contributing to continuous improvement (Kaizen) activities.
• Uphold quality management standards (e.g. IATF 16949, ISO 9001) and maintain the highest levels of information security and prototype protection.

Essential Qualifications & Experience

• Degree in Engineering (Mechanical or similar discipline), or equivalent project experience performing engineering design tasks.
• Experience in automotive engineering or a closely related field.
• Strong working knowledge of computer-aided design tools (e.g. CATIA, NX, or SolidWorks).
• Good working knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing ideally to ASME Y14.5).
• Understanding of manufacturing processes relevant to suspension components.
• Working knowledge of failure mode avoidance tools (e.g. DFMEA, PFMEA, Six Sigma).
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills with the ability to work effectively in a team environment.
• Must hold a current passport and driving license and be willing to travel as required.

Desirable Experience

• Seals , selection, application, and design for dynamic sealing systems.
• Bearings , specification and integration of bearing systems in rotating or sliding assemblies.
• Material behaviour , understanding of material properties, selection, and behaviour under load and temperature.
• Friction , tribology principles and their application in mechanical design.
• Hydraulics , design and understanding of hydraulic systems and fluid power components.
• Electromechanical systems and sensors.

What We Offer

• The opportunity to work on world-class automotive and motorsport programmes alongside a highly skilled and passionate team.
• A collaborative, engineering-first culture that values innovation and technical growth.
• Exposure to cutting-edge suspension technologies across a diverse and exciting customer base.
• A supportive environment that encourages professional development and continuous learning.
