The role will involve working as part of our design team working on internal and client projects on all aspects of suspension design, driveline design, powertrain systems and vehicle integration.
• Producing high quality design solutions for all types of suspension, driveline and powertrain systems.
• Delivering cost effective project designs on time, in a busy, fast paced environment.
• Maintaining quality standards for project 3D models and manufacturing drawings.
• Working on Multi-Functional Teams.
• Imparting knowledge to and developing the junior members of the engineering department.
• While a background in vehicle design and development would be a distinct advantage, we will also consider candidates with a strong background in mechanical design and an aptitude for vehicle engineering.
• A degree in Mechanical Engineering (or significant directly relevant experience) is required.
• 3D mechanical design experience across prototype and low volume production, with a particular emphasis on component strength, material selection and design for manufacture.
• Experience in using simulation tools (e.g. Matlab, / Simulink or equivalent) would be a distinct advantage
• Experience of using one or more of the major 3D CAD systems (SolidWorks, ProE or CATIA). Proven experience with design analysis tools such as ANSYS would be an advantage.
