U3003 - Design Front-Suspension Engineer

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 .
