Ladder Frame Chassis Expert

- Design and develop the primary structural frame: create 3D models and 2D drawings for side rails, crossmembers, brackets, and body mounts; optimize frame geometry for vehicle dynamics, controlled body flex, and payload distribution.

- Establish production processes using jigs, fixtures, and automated robotic arc-welding lines; review metrology reports and implement shimming or process adjustments to meet quality requirements

- Support prototype vehicle builds and execute DV/PV testing; oversee structural durability, torsional rigidity, and proving-ground validation activities

- Lead DFMEA and PFMEA activities and documentation; conduct 8D root-cause analyses of chassis failures and field issues and implement corrective design actions

- Ensure frame structures comply with applicable national and international automotive safety standards, including FMVSS, AIS, and CMVR requirements

- Drive Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE) initiatives for localization, weight reduction, and cost efficiency without compromising off-road durability
