What are Dynamic Suspension systems and how do they work?

Dynamic suspension systems are advanced vehicle suspension setups that automatically adjust damping and ride characteristics in real-time based on driving conditions, speed, and road surface. Using sensors and electronic controls, these systems optimize comfort, handling, and stability by modifying the stiffness or damping force of the suspension components. They are commonly found in modern luxury and performance vehicles and are especially beneficial for improving ride quality and vehicle safety.

What is the difference between Dynamic Suspension vs Shock Absorbers?

FeatureDynamic SuspensionShock Absorbers
FunctionProvides adaptive, real-time adjustment to vehicle suspension for optimal ride quality and handlingAbsorbs and dampens shock impulses from the road to improve ride comfort
ComplexityMore advanced, often electronically controlledSimple mechanical or hydraulic components
Work EnvironmentAutomotive manufacturing, vehicle maintenance, research and developmentAutomotive repair shops, manufacturing, vehicle maintenance

Dynamic Suspension systems are advanced, adaptive systems that adjust in real-time to driving conditions, enhancing handling and comfort. Shock Absorbers are simpler components that dampen shocks from the road. While shock absorbers are a key part of suspension systems, Dynamic Suspension offers a more sophisticated, adjustable solution for modern vehicles.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Dynamic Suspension Engineer, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Dynamic Suspension Engineer, you need a solid background in mechanical engineering, vehicle dynamics, and materials science, often supported by a relevant engineering degree. Proficiency with CAD software, simulation tools like MATLAB/Simulink, and familiarity with testing equipment are essential technical requirements. Strong problem-solving skills, attention to detail, and effective communication help you collaborate with cross-functional teams and innovate suspension systems. These skills ensure the development of safe, high-performance, and reliable vehicle suspension systems that meet both regulatory standards and customer expectations.

What are some common challenges faced by engineers working in dynamic suspension development, and how are they typically addressed?

Engineers in dynamic suspension development often encounter challenges such as balancing ride comfort with vehicle handling, integrating complex electronic control systems, and ensuring compatibility with various vehicle models. Addressing these issues usually involves close collaboration with cross-functional teams including mechanical, electrical, and software engineers, as well as rigorous testing and simulation. Staying up to date with advancements in materials science and control algorithms also helps engineers find innovative solutions to these challenges.

Job description

The Project Performance Lead (PPL) for Vehicle Dynamics is responsible for achieving vehicle level ride and handling targets for Stellantis Vehicles. The candidate will coordinate with a team of core dynamics engineers to establish development timelines to meet all functional objectives, component tuning freeze dates, and electronic control hardware/software release dates. Further responsibilities include analyzing and mitigating the vehicle dynamics performance impact of engineering, brand, and marketing requests. The PPL also leads coordination of activities with multiple external stakeholders (powertrain, mechatronics, etc.) and must be confident providing updates to senior management regarding state of the program.
The Advanced PPL will be responsible for vehicle development of the critical components to meet the vehicle's overall ride, steering, handling, and tire performance objectives. This development work takes place at numerous sites in and around Southeast Michigan, with travel required to other test locations as both weather, and test surface conditions dictate. Travel is mostly domestic within North America, but can also be international, and is less than 20% of the Engineer's time.).
Job Responsibilities Include but Are Not Limited To:
  • Provide guidance to advanced chassis design teams to develop suspension architectures which support vehicle line targets and FOs
  • Lead development activities including testing and subjective assessment of virtual vehicle level function to ensure alignment with targets
  • Responsible for development of suspension mechanical and electromechanical components and systems in order to achieve driving dynamics functional attribute targets
  • Perform subjective evaluations of ride, steering, and handling and assign ratings according to SAE subjective scales up to and beyond the handling limits of the vehicle
  • Work closely with suppliers to drive changes required to complete tuning of all systems including air springs, passive dampers, semi-active dampers, and electronic power steering
  • Support all active chassis teams in development/implementation/testing of electromechanical hardware and supporting software through data acquisition system
  • Development of state-of-the-art prototype and production controls solutions
    for electromechanical suspension components
  • Contribute to development of future semi-active damping strategies and algorithm functional execution
  • Work closely with chassis controls team members to develop seamless
    integration with other active chassis controls components and systems
  • Development and execution of vehicle performance DVP&R
  • Support core software team with execution of functional and failsafe DVP&R
    with vehicle level tests

Basic Requirements
  • Bachelor of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering or equivalent
  • 5 years of related engineering experience
  • 5 years of automotive testing and validation experience
  • Excellent knowledge of vehicle dynamics
  • Excellent knowledge and understanding of vehicle systems
  • Experience with requirements management and software version
    management tools
  • Effective project management, organizational, and teamwork skills
  • Data logging and analysis using tools (Vector CANalyzer, CANape, etc.)
  • Must be capable of driving vehicles at, or above the limit of handling
  • Valid US driver's license

Preferred Qualifications
  • Master of Science in Mechanical or Electrical Engineering
  • DFSS Green Belt certification
  • Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) simulation experience
  • Mechatronics based skills/experience/education
  • Self-starter with strong communication skills
  • CAN networking experience
  • Microsoft Office tools
