The Role


GM Defense is seeking a highly skilled and experienced Chassis Design Engineer to lead suspension system development for defense vehicles. In this role, you will provide engineering leadership across the full product lifecycle—from concept development and design through validation, production readiness, and launch—while ensuring suspension systems meet performance, durability, safety, compliance, and mission requirements.


What You'll Do


You’ll lead suspension system development from concept through production, translating vehicle-level performance, durability, safety, and mission requirements into robust component and assembly designs. Working with cross-functional engineering teams, suppliers, and manufacturing partners, you’ll mature designs, resolve issues, and keep component delivery on track.


As the program progresses, you’ll guide analysis and validation, support PTB, APPV/PPV, and NS/S builds, and manage engineering changes through launch. You’ll use CAE, TcVis, field data, and program KPIs to identify risks and opportunities, make informed trade-offs, and drive continuous improvement. You’ll also serve as a technical leader by mentoring junior engineers and helping the team deliver safe, compliant, and production-ready suspension systems.


  • Analyze warranty and field data to identify and address design issues and opportunities for improvement.
  • Apply DFMEA, DRBFM, and DFSS methodologies to ensure robust design and manufacturing processes.
  • Apply GD&T and tolerance analysis principles to critical component and assembly designs.
  • Apply structured problem-solving techniques to complex engineering challenges.
  • Benchmark competitive designs and technologies to drive innovation and best practices.
  • Demonstrates rapid proficiency in new technologies and engineering tools.
  • Design components that support vehicle performance, durability, and safety requirements.
  • Develop and manage engineering specifications, requirements, and validation plans.
  • Manage component delivery across the product lifecycle, collaborating with suppliers and manufacturing.
  • Manage engineering changes and releases throughout the program phases.
  • Manage safety, compliance, and regulatory requirements for all suspension system components.
  • Provide technical leadership and mentorship to junior engineers and cross-functional teams.
  • Support PTB, APPV/PPV, NS/S build processes for system validation and production readiness.
  • Use CAE and TcVis analysis to optimize designs, predict performance, and identify potential issues.
  • Use engineering data and KPIs to track progress, make informed decisions, and drive continuous improvement.

 

Your Skills & Abilities (Required Qualifications)


  • 10+ years of experience in chassis and suspension system design and development.
  • Proficiency in applying DFMEA, DRBFM, and DFSS.
