Principal Chassis Design Engineer

Description

Principal Mechanical Design Engineer – Vehicle & Suspension Systems

Contact- 6 months initially

Join a high-performing global mechanical engineering team delivering next-generation vehicle and chassis solutions—from clean-sheet concept through to production. This role leads the design and development of critical suspension and structural systems while guiding multidisciplinary teams to deliver robust, manufacturable, and high-performance products.

What You’ll Do

* Lead the concept, architecture, and detailed 3D design of complex mechanical systems including subframes, suspension knuckles, control arms, steering links, and related assemblies

* Manage and mentor a team of design engineers, driving technical excellence and on-time delivery

* Deliver detailed engineering outputs: stress calculations, FMEAs, tolerance stack-ups, 2D drawings, layouts, and technical documentation

* Collaborate closely with simulation/FEA, manufacturing, and process engineering teams to ensure validation, durability, NVH, and DFMA compliance

* Own and manage Bills of Materials and design data within PLM systems

* Interface with suppliers and cross-functional engineering groups to ensure timely information flow and project execution

* Support or lead small-to-mid-size engineering programs as Lead Designer or system owner

What You Bring

* Degree in Mechanical Engineering (or equivalent experience)

* Significant experience in mechanical design engineering focused on vehicle, chassis, suspension, or steering systems

* Strong grounding in engineering fundamentals, vehicle dynamics, durability, and interpretation of FEA/CFD results

* Deep understanding xjnqpsq of manufacturing processes and DFMA principles

* High-level proficiency in GD&T and production-grade technical drawing creation

* Advanced CAD capability (CATIA V5 preferred) and experience with PLM systems (Windchill desirable)

* Demonstrated experience leading and mentoring engineering teams

* Strong analytical, communication, and technical documentation skills

Impact: Drive the engineering of critical vehicle systems, shape innovative chassis solutions, and lead teams delivering production-ready designs for cutting-edge mobility programs
