- Use measurements and 3D scanning to recreate parts
- Design improvements for performance, reliability and manufacturability
- Work across suspension, steering, braking, drivetrain, engine, chassis and powertrain systems
- Work closely with workshop, machining and fabrication teams
- Support prototyping, testing and installation
- Provide technical guidance to engineers and technicians
The Ideal Candidate
- Strong mechanical design background
- Excellent SolidWorks experience
- Experience with Inventor, CATIA or Solid Edge advantageous
