U3003 - Design Front-Suspension Engineer

Location: Mexico

Department: Engineering MDC

Workplace: remote

Employment Type: full

Description

In ALTEN we are seeking a Front Suspension Design Engineer to lead the redesign of front suspension systems for next-gen electric vehicles. You will focus on transitioning from transverse leaf springs to coil-over spring architectures, ensuring compatibility with steering, driveline, and chassis systems. This role requires a strong background in mechanical design, package integration, and durability analysis, with a hands-on approach to solving complex engineering challenges.

🔧 Key Responsibilities:

• Develop conceptual and detailed designs for front suspension systems, including subframe and wheel-end components.
• Perform package studies to ensure compatibility with steering, driveline, and chassis interfaces.
• Evaluate trade-offs between carryover, modified, and new designs, focusing on cost, mass, durability, and serviceability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams (chassis, driveline, thermal) to align designs with vehicle-level requirements.
• Document assumptions, risks, and interfaces to support decision-making.
• Lead design reviews and present technical recommendations to stakeholders.

Requirements

✅ Required Skills & Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience in suspension/chassis design (automotive or EV industry).
• Expertise in CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE (mandatory for surface, assembly, and drafting).
• Experience with durability analysis, ride & handling, and torque steer mitigation.
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in fast-paced, multidisciplinary teams.
• Fluent English (technical communication with global teams).
• Basic management skills: Ability to mentor junior engineers, coordinate tasks, and manage small projects.

🌟 Nice-to-Have:

• Experience with EV architectures or electrified driveline systems.
• Knowledge of GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing).
• Familiarity with simulation tools (ANSYS, ADAMS, MATLAB/Simulink).
