Design & Development of Suspension Parts (Frame, Axle, Shock Abs)

• Layout, Design & Development of Suspension parts (Frame, Arm, Torsion Beam, bushings, Shock Absorbers, Coil Springs, Stabilizer Bar ) (Experience can be in few of the areas out of the areas mentioned above & need may not be in all areas).

• Experience should include Suspension Motion Simulation, Design Calculations, Preparation of 3D Model, designer CAE & 2D Drawings in any of the software (preferably Unigraphics but not limited to UG only). Also, basic knowledge of Sheet Metal Forming/Joining/Welding process & Rubber Technology including Dies, Tools, Molds & fixtures/testing.

a) Key responsibilities

• Research, Design & Development of Suspension Frame, Arm, Torsion Beam/Banjo-type Rr axle, Shock Absorbers, Coil Springs, Sus bushings.
• Conceptualize parts, create working model, check feasibility concerning manufacturability, and assembly. Engage with the CAE team to take countermeasures, confirm testing performance.
• Estimate cost and weight at the part and sub-system levels & BOM handling.
• Conduct design reviews and solve problems through QC Tools
• Collaboration with business partners for parts development.
• Work on advanced engg. projects (light weight/alternate materials etc.)

b) Competencies

(i) Functional

• Good knowledge of vehicle dynamics, Sheet Metal & Rubber Technology, functioning and design of Chassis parts and subsystems.
• Ability to perform designer CAE and analytical skill in problem solving and providing solutions. Experience of DFMEA, MATLAB.

(ii) Behavioral

Project management skills. Effective communication, analytical, and presentation skills. Creative and innovative approach, with a willingness to share experiences. Flexible, proactive, and Positive attitude. Adherence to systems and processes.

Should have a passion for automobiles and should be aware of latest automotive trends in field of Suspension system & Vehicle dynamics. Understanding of Japanese language is an added advantage.
