Role:
To design and evaluate Steering System, Steering mechanism and its aggregates like steering linkages, rack and pinion, tie tod, steering column, bushes, ball joint for 4 wheelers. Understanding of vehicle architecture, layout. (4Wh, 3Wh)
-
Work out steering system hard points considering suspension hard points and optimise steering layout.
-
Work out and should have knowhow of different steering systems like rack and pinion, centre-take off, bell crank.
-
Workout designs like collapsible steering column, power steering system depending on project need.
-
Work out and detailing of 3Wh steering column and fork design.
-
3D Modelling & 2D Drafting.
-
Consider performance and durability aspects early in design. Review, evaluate, optimise design.
-
Understand, apply, built in design for field service aspects and provide design support for field service.
-
Consider cost elements and aspects in design parameters, specifications.
-
Interfacing with design, validation, CAE, manufacturing, development and service teams.
Failure analysis, make / review simulation plans, c/m validation plans
