Principal Chassis Design Engineer

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.

• 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

• 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 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
