Job description

We are Geely Technology Europe. A unified European R&D centre within Geely Auto Group, where world-class engineers, developers and innovators push the boundaries of intelligent mobility. Our mission is to shape the next generation of vehicle architectures, digital technologies and intelligent systems for global markets. We integrate European customer and regulatory requirements early in the development process and support multiple brands within the Geely portfolio, including Zeekr, Lynk & Co and Geely. With nearly two decades of engineering experience in Europe, we continue to build smart, sustainable and user‑centric mobility solutions.

As an Attribute Leader within Ride & Handling, you will be responsible for defining and delivering the driving character of our vehicles. You will act as the technical authority for chassis behavior, ensuring a consistent and premium brand feel across different road conditions and driving scenarios.

This is a senior engineering role where you will translate technical solutions into a cohesive driving experience, balancing comfort, control, and performance. You will work cross-functionally and play a key role in guiding both development and decision-making throughout the vehicle program.

What You\'ll Do

• Define target setting for ride & handling, including steering feel, ride comfort, body control, and overall vehicle balance
• Perform and lead subjective vehicle assessments (VSR), evaluating steering feedback, stability, and vibration isolation
• Lead tuning and calibration activities for chassis systems, including dampers, bushings, suspension kinematics, and EPAS
• Ensure system integration across tires, suspension, and braking systems to achieve stable and predictable vehicle dynamics
• Drive validation and verification through simulation (MBS) and physical testing at proving grounds
• Monitor attribute performance and report status to project management across key development milestones
• Provide technical recommendations and decision support during program gates and trade-off discussions
• Identify risks and potential conflicts impacting ride & handling targets, and drive mitigation actions
• Maintain documentation, performance tracking, and clear visualization of attribute development progress

Who You Are:

• Minimum 8 years of experience within Ride & Handling, vehicle dynamics, or chassis development
• Proven experience working with attribute ownership, target setting, or leading chassis development activities
• Strong understanding of suspension systems, vehicle dynamics, and overall vehicle behavior
• Solid experience from vehicle testing, subjective assessment, and calibration work
• Experience working with simulation tools (e.g. MBS) and correlating simulation with physical testing
• Ability to balance technical trade-offs between comfort, performance, and cost within a project context
• Strong communication skills, with the ability to explain complex technical topics to stakeholders
• Experience working in cross-functional and international engineering environments
• Structured and analytical mindset, combined with a hands-on approach to problem solving
• Fluent in English, both spoken and written
• Valid driver’s license
