Deputy General Manager - Drive Away Chassis

• Responsible for design, development and delivery of suspension (independent & rigid), vehicle dynamics, steering (recirculating ball and rack & pinion type), axles, brakes, chassis, wheels, driveshaft/propeller shaft, powertrain mounts and NVH characteristics for electric and ICE vehicles.


• Responsible for creating vehicle strategy/architecture by smartly deriving suspension, steering, axle, brakes and chassis parameters and hard points for best-in-class vehicle performances.


• Good experience on cross combination of suspension and steering architectures


• Demonstrate proficiency in hardpoint finalization, ride & handling calculations, wheel alignment parameters, suspension kinematics & compliance, steering kinematics, load transfer & control, vehicle dynamics target setting for system level & vehicle level, critical speed calculation.


• Optimize vehicle performance by fine-tuning vehicle parameters through mathematical modelling of quarter car/half-car/full car models using excel sheet, MATLAB, Simulink, and Simscape.


• Design and develop comprehensive Brakes system, focusing on homologation requirements to meet BIC performances. Must have hands on experience on all calculations.


• Specialize in rubber mount design, conducting 6DOF analysis to meet KED% targets, determining natural frequency of mount systems, assessing dynamic stiffness, damping, Tan Delta, and ensuring mount durability meets target life requirements.


• NVH - Rotational machinery vibration, active and passive vibration, pass and in cab noise, NVH regulatory requirements, isolation efficiency, frequency spectrum and waterfall analysis, order analysis.


• Lead daily engineering meetings, providing input and coordinating team efforts.


• Develop prototypes, conduct testing, and validate suspension components and systems using both virtual and physical methods.
