About this role
Hyundai America Technical Center, Inc. seeks a Chassis Brake Systems Engineer to join the Chassis Engineering Design Team. The role focuses on design, development, and validation of brake systems for U.S. SUV, pickup truck, and off-road vehicles to deliver a robust, high-performance brake architecture. The team values open communication, continuous learning, and a hands-on approach, with senior engineers guiding less experienced colleagues and opportunities for professional growth.
Support Brake System Design: Engage in and learn the end-to-end design of braking components (e.g., hydraulic boosters, calipers, rotors, pads, actuators, etc.) using CATIA V5. Generate detailed 3D models and 2D drawings; responsible for CAD release for prototyping and production. Some CATIA V5 training would be available in-house.
Support Mechanical Analysis: Support detailed engineering analysis (e.g., FEA, multi-body simulation, NVH studies, etc.) to predict brake performance, durability, and NVH characteristics. Iterate designs based on simulation and test data to optimize stopping power and reliability.
Support Concept Development: Support and learn about the development of and documentation of brake system concepts and packaging layouts, considering vehicle geometry, on and off-road requirements, performance, etc. Ensure concepts align with project requirements and standards.
Validation Planning and Testing: Support and learn the validation plans for brake systems by aiding in test plan creation efforts, supporting prototype builds, and conducting bench and full-vehicle tests (e.g., durability, NVH, ride comfort, handling, off-road performance, etc.). Analyze the correlation between test data and simulation results and follow requests for design refinements (as needed).
Supplier Coordination: Collaborate with suppliers concerning the design and development of brake components. Aid in technical direction and review supplier CAD models and drawings. Support the supplier design review process and ensure supplier deliverables meet requirements.
