Design Engineer - Dampers

Jobinhalt

Position Overview:

Located in Markham, Ontario, Canada, Multimatic Technical Centre (MTC) is part of Multimatic’s Engineering Group. MTC provides advanced design, simulation, testing and prototyping services to Multimatic’s production divisions and to Original Equipment Manufacturers (OEM’s), niche vehicle manufacturers, motorsports organizations, military equipment contractors and consumer products companies.

MTC houses key engineering, testing and development capabilities under one roof, enabling rapid turnaround and tight integration between departments (vehicle systems engineering, production engineering, predictive methods, product testing and validation, composites, fabrication and prototyping). Additional specialized services utilize MTC’s full-vehicle multi-post test rig, and a proprietary vehicle dynamics simulator. These services are further enhanced by the capabilities of a fully-equipped motorsports department.

The Damper Design Department at MTC develops high volume automotive damper designs that are then manufactured by Multimatic’s manufacturing facility in Ontario. The Damper Department is also responsible for Multimatic’s R&D initiatives targeting innovation of automotive shock absorber technology.

The continued growth of the Damper Group has resulted in the need for additional Design Engineers.
