Technical Expert – Chassis Systems (TT150ST RM 4118)

Position: Technical Expert – Chassis Systems (TT150ST RM 4118)

Role Overview
This role offers a unique opportunity to shape the ride, handling, steering feel, and refinement DNA of VinFast vehicles. As a senior chassis expert, the successful candidate will directly influence customer perception, dynamic character, and overall vehicle quality, playing a critical role in defining the driving experience of current and future platforms.

Experience

• Expert in chassis systems, including:
  o Steering systems (EPS, racks, columns)
  o Brake systems (hydraulic, brake-by-wire, pedal feel)
  o Suspension systems (front & rear architectures)
  o Bushes, mounts, and isolation systems
  o Subframes and structural chassis components
  o Powertrain mounting systems and their interaction with the chassis
• Deep understanding of ride, handling, and steering performance, including subjective and objective assessment methods.
• Extensive experience diagnosing and resolving NVH issues originating from suspension, steering, subframes, bushes, and powertrain mounts.
• Proven capability to troubleshoot complex vehicle-level issues such as:
  o Torque steer
  o Steering kickback
  o Brake judder and vibration
  o Ride harshness and impact harshness
  o Structure-borne noise transmitted through chassis systems
• Strong understanding of how suspension and steering design choices influence NVH, ride comfort, handling balance, and customer perception.
• Experience working across design, tuning, CAE, and test to identify root causes and implement robust countermeasures.
• Familiarity with electric vehicle (EV) chassis challenges, including high torque delivery, mass distribution, regenerative braking effects, and powertrain mount interaction.
• Ability to define, review, and enforce chassis design rules, tuning philosophies, and technical standards across multiple vehicle programs.
• Strong background in structured problem solving and cross-attribute issue resolution.
• Proven experience capturing lessons learned and embedding them into standards, guidelines, and future vehicle architectures.
• Act as the technical authority for chassis systems across VinFast vehicle programs within the VQA division
• Lead and support resolution of all major chassis-related issues, including ride, handling, steering feel, braking behavior, and NVH.
• Diagnose and resolve complex issues arising from suspension and steering design, tuning, or system interaction.
• Provide expert guidance on steering and suspension tuning strategies, ensuring balanced delivery of ride comfort, handling precision, and refinement.
• Support investigation and mitigation of EV-specific phenomena such as torque steer, steering kickback, and driveline-to-chassis interactions.
• Work closely with NVH, Vehicle Dynamics, Powertrain, BIW, and Safety teams to deliver integrated chassis solutions.
• Review and challenge chassis concepts, designs, and validation results to ensure robustness and long-term quality.
• Define, review, and continuously improve chassis technical standards, design rules, and development processes.
• Lead technical reviews, investigations, and corrective action planning for complex chassis topics.
• Capture and institutionalise learning from vehicle programs to strengthen future platform strategies.
• Provide clear, authoritative technical input to senior leadership on chassis risks, trade-offs, and technical direction.
• Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related discipline.
• 15–20+ years of experience in chassis system development within industry-leading OEMs or Tier-1 engineering organisations.
• Exceptional systems-level understanding of how chassis subsystems interact with the full vehicle.
• Ability to influence and lead without direct line management, operating effectively as a senior technical authority
• Excellent communication skills, capable of translating complex chassis behavior into clear technical actions.
• Structured, analytical, and pragmatic approach to problem solving.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-expectation environment with significant technical accountability
