Senior Chassis Design Engineer

As a Senior Chassis Engineer, you will drive the design, development, and execution of novel chassis components and sub-systems,including brakes, steering, wheels, tires, and suspension platforms.

You will bridge first-principles engineering with advanced manufacturing techniques to optimize driving dynamics, efficiency, structural mass, and cost.

Working across concept development, physical/virtual validation, and full-vehicle testing, you will play a central role in delivering best-in-class vehicle attributes for our next-generation vehicle portfolio.

Responsibilities

Advanced Concept Design & System Engineering

• Design and develop novel chassis concepts (brakes, steering, suspension, wheels, and tires) that balance driving dynamics, vehicle mass, cost, efficiency, manufacturability, and serviceability.

Requirements Definition & Attribute Optimization

• Challenge legacy design requirements and define data-driven, first-principles specifications for system sizing, functional performance, and safety attributes.

• Align system performance targets with regulatory standards, customer requirements, and vehicle dynamics.

Feasibility, Analysis & Cross-Functional Validation

• Evaluate and validate the manufacturing, assembly, and service feasibility of proposed designs in close collaboration with manufacturing, service, and launch teams.

• Utilize advanced engineering analysis tools to simulate, stress-test, and iterate design proposals prior to physical build.

Prototyping, Testing & Vehicle Dynamics Evaluation

• Lead the design, build, and validation testing at the components, sub-systems, and full-vehicle level.

• Conduct both subjective and objective evaluations of braking, steering, ride, and handling attributes across production vehicles, prototype test mules, and driver-in-the-loop simulators.

• Analyze test data to troubleshoot root causes, iterate designs, and refine vehicle performance attributes.

Qualifications

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.

• Experience: 3+ years of automotive engineering experience (or related mobility sector), with exposure to electric vehicle (EV) platforms preferred.

• Technical Mastery: Solid foundation in core engineering principles (statics, dynamics, materials, thermal) and their practical application to complex vehicle systems and manufacturing processes.

• CAD Capability: Strong proficiency in 3D CAD modeling (3DEXPERIENCE preferred).

• Communication & Collaboration: Excellent written and verbal technical communication skills, with a track record of effective cross-functional partnership.

Benefits

• Immediate medical, dental, vision and prescription drug coverage

• Flexible family care days, paid parental leave, new parent ramp-up programs, subsidized back-up child care and more

• Family building benefits including adoption and surrogacy expense reimbursement, fertility treatments, and more

• Vehicle discount program for employees and family members and management leases

• Tuition assistance

• Established and active employee resource groups

• Paid time off for individual and team community service

• A generous schedule of paid holidays, including the week between Christmas and New Year’s Day

• Paid time off and the option to purchase additional vacation time.
