Job summary

Renault Group's R&D division seeks a suspension and chassis design engineer in Chennai to define suspension geometry, axle and suspension sizing, and to drive vehicle dynamics studies.

You will collaborate with software, hardware and manufacturing teams to integrate control strategies for braking, steering, and stability, and you will use CATIA V5/V6, ADAMS and SHARK for simulations, with Excel VBA for data analysis.

Qualifications

• Strong background in vehicle dynamics and suspension design.
• Proficiency in 1D and durability simulations.
• Solid statistical analysis skills with data interpretation.
• Experience with CATIA V5/V6, ADAMS, SHARK, and MADA.
• Excel VBA scripting for data processing and reporting.

Responsibilities

• To define suspension geometry, vehicle transversal, longitudinal and vertical construction for passenger cars
• To Ensure convergence of Chassis Integration and Synthesis
• To Pilot the deployment of Axle and Suspension Parts - in compliance with design requirements
• To define right sizing of axle and suspension parts through load case deployments and simulations
• Testing and Validation: Plan and execute Vehicle level tests on proving grounds or rigs to measure suspension kinematics, compliance, and steering response.
• Tuning and Optimization: To support R&H team to Fine-tune chassis components-such as dampers, springs, anti-roll bars, and tires-to match design targets and user comfort.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with software, hardware, and manufacturing teams to integrate control strategies for braking, steering, and stability systems.
• Deep understanding of vehicle mechanics, tire modelling, suspension design, and data analysis
