Full Job Description
Design and develop the primary structural frame: create 3D models and 2D drawings for side rails, crossmembers, brackets, and body mounts; optimize frame geometry for vehicle dynamics, controlled body flex, and payload distribution.
Establish production processes using jigs, fixtures, and automated robotic arc-welding lines; review metrology reports and implement shimming or process adjustments to meet quality requirements
Support prototype vehicle builds and execute DV/PV testing; oversee structural durability, torsional rigidity, and proving-ground validation activities
Lead DFMEA and PFMEA activities and documentation; conduct 8D root-cause analyses of chassis failures and field issues and implement corrective design actions
Ensure frame structures comply with applicable national and international automotive safety standards, including FMVSS, AIS, and CMVR requirements
Drive Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) initiatives for localization, weight reduction, and cost efficiency without compromising off-road durability
