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:
3–7 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). Willingness to relocate to the USA
(support provided for visa/work permit if needed). 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).
