Senior Chassis Engineer

We’re looking for a Chassis & Body Structures Engineer to join our team and help design and develop a bonded aluminium spaceframe chassis for an exciting high‑performance vehicle programme.

This role sits at the heart of vehicle engineering, working across the full lifecycle — from early concept through to validation — and collaborating closely with simulation, manufacturing and vehicle integration teams to deliver a lightweight, durable and exceptionally capable structure.

• Designing and developing aluminium BIW and chassis structures
• Applying vehicle dynamics principles to optimise handling and performance
• Managing component packaging within the vehicle architecture
• Integrating NVH considerations into structural design
• Creating and reviewing CAD models and engineering drawings
• Supporting and interpreting FEA / CFD for stiffness, weight and durability
• Performing fatigue and durability analysis using real‑world load cases
• Leading chassis validation and testing, including simulation correlation
• Ensuring compliance with safety, crash worthiness and regulatory standards
• Working cross‑functionally across design, test and manufacturing teams

• Degree in Mechanical, Automotive or related Engineering
• Experience in chassis, BIW or structural design (automotive or similar)
• Knowledge of lightweight structures (aluminium preferred)
• Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics and structural behaviour
• Proficiency in CAD, with exposure to FEA tools
• Familiarity with NVH, durability and validation processes
• Comfortable working in structured engineering environments
• Strong problem‑solving and communication skills
