• 5+ years of R&D experience in development and prototyping within the automotive, aerospace, racing, or motorsport industry
• Strong specialist knowledge in steering, suspension, brake systems, vehicle dynamics, or structures
• Advanced CAD capabilities, including solid modelling, surface design, assembly, and drafting
• Experience working with PLM systems and change-management processes
• Knowledge of FEM analysis, GD&T, and technical requirements
• Experience taking components or systems from concept through prototyping, validation, and production release
• Knowledge of materials, surface and heat treatments, corrosion protection, and modern manufacturing methods
• Professional proficiency in English

Meritorious Experience

• Design experience with CATIA V5/V6 or 3DEXPERIENCE
• Complete technical ownership of a steering, suspension or brake system
• Experience with Multi Body Dynamics and vehicle kinematic analysis tools (ADAMS, MotionView or similar)
• Knowledge of EPS controls, diagnostics or steering calibration
• Knowledge of ABS, ESC, integrated brake systems or brake-system calibration
• Experience with vehicle testing, instrumentation and data analysis
• Metrology, component inspection and measurement protocols
