Full Job Description
Job Description:
Deliverable :*Responsible for the development, and validation, of Vehicle Dynamics functionality as it relates to Chassis quality/warranty of Client vehicles.
*Minimize vehicle/suspension sensitivity to variation in forces induced by road surfaces, assembly build variation, vehicular architecture, and/or wear.
*Responsible for quality testing activities throughout all Program development phases; from up-front target setting and design definition, through in-vehicle testing on prototype properties, and then pre-production (pilot) properties.
*Minimize sensitivity to brake rotor wear (judder), tire/wheel imbalance, vehicle lead/drift/pull, steering wander, torque steer, and vehicle shake (ride) so they meet Program performance objectives
*Responsible for in-vehicle accelerometer measurements as outlined by quality test standards (instrumenting, data processing & data interpretation).
Qualification:
Bachelor of Science Engineering Degree from an ABET accredited university or equivalent
Experience in automotive engineering product development
Must have a valid driver's license with no physical restrictions
Proactive and Reactive problem solving skills
Must be able to manage multiple projects simultaneously
Excellent written and verbal skills
Proficient use of MS Office (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, etc) and Google apps (Gmail, Docs, Sheets, etc)
Flexibility in local work sites between Chelsea Proving Grounds, Roush Livonia, Tech Center Auburn Hills
Good teamwork skills and ability to work independently
Vehicle vibration data acquisition and data processing experience
This development/validation work takes place predominantly at the Chelsea Proving Grounds in Michigan, with travel required to other test locations as both weather, and test surface conditions dictate (Significant travel occurs during the winter months, with trips lasting 2-3 weeks at a time.
Travel is mostly domestic within North America and is approximately 10% of the Engineer's time.)
High level of proficiency in English (speaking, reading, writing)
