Job 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 vehicles 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.
