3+ years expHyundai America Technical Center, Inc. (HATCI) is seeking a passionate Design Engineer II to support the design, development, and validation of Chassis Mount Systems for U.S. SUV, pickup truck and off-road vehicles. The role involves leveraging mechanical engineering skills to create robust suspension architecture and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure seamless integration and meet customer requirements.
Automotive
Responsibilities
Be engaged in the end-to-end design of chassis mounting systems – including body mounts, engine/transmission mounts, exhaust and frame mounts, and suspension attachment points – to optimize vehicle performance and NVH (noise, vibration, harshness) characteristics. Generate 3D CAD models and technical drawings in CATIA V5 for components and assemblies
Support structural and durability analyses (using FEA, multibody dynamics, etc.) to validate designs under real-world load and vibration conditions. Iterate designs based on simulation and test feedback to ensure robustness and compliance with engineering requirements
Support development of and documentation of suspension Mount concepts and packaging layouts, considering vehicle geometry, articulation, ground clearance, steering geometry, and off-road requirements. Ensure concepts align with project requirements and standards
Support validation plans for suspension Mount systems. This includes supporting the creation of test plans, Supporting prototype builds, bench and full-vehicle tests (durability, NVH, ride comfort, handling, off-road performance etc). Support correlation of test data with simulation results and follow requests for design refinements as needed
Collaborate with Tier-1 suppliers on component design and development. Support technical direction and review supplier CAD models and drawings. Support the supplier design review process and ensure supplier deliverables meet specifications and quality standards
Support and participate in design reviews, DFMEA/PFMEA sessions, and design-for-manufacturing discussions. Prepare, when required and support maintaining engineering documents (specifications, test reports, control plans, etc.) and support adherence to and compliance with industry and regulatory standards
Help investigate and resolve engineering issues during development and support after production launch issues if requested. Support implementation of corrective actions and work with other team members on continuous improvement of suspension Mount designs and development processes. Review IQS, VDS, JP Power & Consumer reports to support warranty and quality issues
Work closely with manufacturing, quality, and product engineering teams to ensure designs are feasible for production and service. Participate and support in APQP/PPAP type processes to support vehicle program launches
Act as technical support within the chassis/suspension team. Mentor and train junior engineers, providing guidance on engineering best practices and project management
Occasional domestic and international travel (approximately 20%) to our Korean HQ, supplier facilities, chassis component manufacturers, and CA test tracks are expected. Travel may also include collaboration with off-site engineering teams or attendance at industry events
