Vehicle Dynamics, VD CAE & NVH Analysis Specialist
Warwickshire, England

An important part of this project is to ensure that front and rear suspension elements being packaged are able to produce the highest level of dynamics capability and NVH performance under a broad range of operating conditions. This will require modelling to replicate a variety of scenarios including standard Kinematic and Compliance (KandC) testing in order to support and guide the design team.
It will involve looking at existing designs and new concepts across all of the chassis components and associated elements in order to develop and deliver a suspension system compatible with a ladder based chassis structure whilst delivering the vehicles attributes and performance.
Skills and Competencies.
