Supports the R&D advanced product engineering team in the definitions of vehicle dynamics performance targets, system architecture for new projects and improve-ments of existing products. Facilitates the understanding of damper system perfor-mance influences on vehicle dynamics.
61 Takes the lead in setting key product performance criteria for vehicle dynam-ics.
o Create methodology & definitions to set objective performance cri-teria for vehicle performances (ride comfort & handling)
o Support new technology developments (in hardware & software) for vehicle performance target achievements
o Completion of subjective & objective vehicle performance evalua-tions and measurements
o Act as point of reference in case of vehicle dynamics related per-formance issues
61 Define proper system architecture to ensure best possible integration of the product onto the vehicle:
o Lead development team in their understanding of the implications involved when integrating the product into the vehicle suspension
o Support benchmarking activities to understand market trends in system architecture
61 Support the development team in the area of vehicle dynamics simulation:
o Develop the methodology to simulate vehicle dynamics perfor-mance from a product performance point of view
o Ensure the proper cascading of vehicle performance targets to product performance targets
