Role & responsibilities

Position Summary

Leads frame and chassis design for commercial vehicles, from architecture definition and frame calculations through design finalisation, including space-frame and monocoque concepts for low-floor applications.

One opening; five further Frames & Chassis openings are at Engineer level.
Must Have Skills
Commercial vehicle frame architecture and design (side member, cross member, brackets)
Frame calculations bending moment, torsional stiffness, factor of safety
Vehicle integration, DMU, packaging and interference analysis
CATIA 3D CAD and 2D detailing
GD&T;, tolerance stack-up, DFMEA and DRBFM
Positive To Have Skills
Space-frame / monocoque concepts for low-floor bus applications
RFQ concept and technical presentations
VA/VE cost reduction
Frame regulatory requirements and design guidelines
2D to 3D conversion, re-mastering and reverse engineering
Current-variant feasibility studies and commonisation strategy
Roles and Responsibilities
Handle design and development of frame chassis for commercial vehicles.
Define frame structure architecture from layout, packaging, benchmarking, field and marketing inputs.




Validate structural rigidity of the frame through bending moment and torsional stiffness calculations, and run calculations for design finalisation.
Design space-frame and monocoque concepts for low-floor applications.
Develop design proposals for side members, cross members and mounting brackets, and package them with the vehicle.
Select vehicle aggregates and integrate them with the frame.
Create 3D CAD and 2D detailing considering tooling and manufacturing feasibility; release drawings in PLM.
Provide countermeasures for issues from design reviews, CAE feedback and proto build.
Prepare DMU reports, DFMEA, DRBFM, Tool Go Ahead, engineering risk reports and supplier sign-off.
Work with manufacturing, strategic sourcing and SQA across frame development stages.
Prepare component validation plans and track issues during vehicle endurance testing.
Prepare concept-stage and technical presentations for RFQs.
Run design reviews, interface sign-offs and final quality checks; contribute to VA/VE cost savings.
Benchmark competitors, run recent-variant feasibility studies and work out commonisation across product versions.
