Job Responsibilities

1. Development area, business overview, and role/position within R&D of the affiliated organization

Advanced development of vehicle dynamics (handling stability, ride comfort).

2. Specific job duties and expected role/position within and outside your department

• Vehicle dynamics target setting (20%)
• Consideration of measures to achieve vehicle dynamics targets (60%)
• Development of suspension, steering, tires, seats, body, powertrain, etc.
• Evaluation of vehicle dynamics target achievement (20%)

3. Workplace environment/work style (member composition, workplace atmosphere, characteristics)

Team structure consists of a Department Manager, Section Manager, Team Leader, and Staff. Currently, there are approximately 12 staff members and team leaders. Difficult challenges are solved with advice and support across teams. Involved departments include experimental evaluation departments, chassis/body/seat parts design departments, etc., covering a wide range, so you will gain broad knowledge by involving many people in development.

Appeal Points (Job Attractiveness)

1. Self-growth, skills acquired, and job satisfaction through the role

"Driving performance," represented by driving pleasure and comfortable ride, is one of the most important and basic performances that anyone can experience when driving a car. In this field, Nissan Motor has always led the industry with models like Skyline, Fairlady Z, and X-TRAIL. To further enhance its presence, we are looking for members to work with us on developing technologies that ensure safe driving even in the future autonomous driving era. Aiming for world-class vehicle dynamics, you will be involved in almost all aspects of vehicle dynamics development: translating human sensations felt while driving into numerical targets, conceiving technologies for suspension, steering, body, etc., to achieve these targets using analysis software like ADAMS, and evaluating them on test courses and driving simulators. You will proceed under the guidance of specialists, so we believe this job will offer a sense of accomplishment and personal growth.
