Description
About the role
We're looking for a hands-on mechanic to support our R&D team as they design, build and test new suspension products for trucks, SUVs and off-road vehicles. You'll install prototype parts, take vehicles apart and put them back together, help with testing, and keep the shop running.
This role suits someone who likes figuring out why something works (or doesn't), takes pride in clean, careful work, and wants to see new products go from prototype to production.
Key responsibilities
Install, remove and adjust prototype and production suspension systems: coilovers, shocks, control arms, lift kits, steering and related components
Tear down and inspect vehicles to take measurements for new product development (mounting points, clearances, travel, ride height)
Assemble, rebuild, re-valve and service shocks and coilovers to R&D specifications
Support on-road, off-road and shock dyno testing; record setup details, results and observations
Perform alignments and set ride height, and verify fitment, clearance and full articulation
Document fitment issues with photos, notes and measurements, and give clear feedback to engineers
Help draft and test installation instructions for new products
Fabricate simple brackets and fixtures; light welding, cutting and drilling as needed
Maintain R&D vehicles, tools and equipment; keep the shop clean, organized and safe
Receive and track prototype parts and test vehicles
Help with other shop duties as needed
Requirements
Required qualifications
2+ years of hands-on automotive mechanic experience, ideally on suspension, steering or off-road vehicles
Solid grasp of suspension systems and geometry (IFS, solid axles, coilovers, leaf springs)
Comfortable with precision measuring tools: calipers, angle finders, torque wrenches, tape measures
Can read basic technical drawings, install instructions and torque specs
Basic computer skills for logging test data and photos (Excel or Google Sheets, email)
Valid driver's license and a clean driving record (required to drive test vehicles)
Detail-oriented, reliable, and able to follow procedures exactly
Preferred qualifications
Experience in an R&D, prototype, race or off-road fabrication shop
Shock building and valving experience
MIG/TIG welding and basic fabrication skills
Off-road driving experience
Familiarity with alignment machines, shock dynos or data acquisition tools
Physical requirements and work environment
All tools and equipment are provided
Able to lift up to 75 lb, and more with assistance or equipment
Stand, bend, kneel, crawl and work under vehicles for long stretches
Shop environment with noise, heat, grease and power tools; PPE required
Occasional off-site testing, sometimes on rough terrain or in hot desert conditions
Occasional overtime or early starts to meet test and launch schedules
