Supports
the R&D advanced product engineering team in the definitions of vehicle
dynamics performance targets, system architecture for new projects and
improvements of existing products. Facilitates the understanding of damper
system performance influences on vehicle dynamics.

·
Takes
the lead in setting key product performance criteria for vehicle dynamics.

o Create methodology &
definitions to set objective performance criteria 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 evaluations and measurements

o Act as point of reference in
case of vehicle dynamics related performance issues

·
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

·
Support
the development team in the area of vehicle dynamics simulation:

o Develop the methodology to
simulate vehicle dynamics performance from a product performance point of view

o Ensure the proper cascading
of vehicle performance targets to product performance targets
