Speedway Motors, Inc
Job Description
Role Overview:
As a Product Engineer focused on shock and suspension components at Speedway Motors, you will be responsible for designing, developing, and refining products that directly impact ride quality, handling, and overall vehicle performance. Your role will involve working across the full product lifecycle - from initial concept and design to production and real-world validation. You will collaborate with suppliers, Purchasing, Quality, and the in-house Machine Shop to determine optimal materials, valving approaches, and manufacturing methods. This hands-on role will also involve prototyping, testing shock and suspension components, and supporting Team Speedway with vehicle setup and validation.
Key Responsibilities:
- Support the development and production of high-quality shock and suspension components by evaluating materials, valving characteristics, and manufacturing processes.
- Design new suspension products and improve existing shock systems to enhance ride quality, handling, and durability.
- Create and modify designs using SolidWorks, incorporating tools such as CMM, 3D scanning, and 3D printing. Document and manage design changes within engineering systems and project files.
- Maintain accurate and organized engineering documentation, including revision history and product specifications.
- Review non-conforming products, determine root cause and appropriate disposition, with a focus on performance and reliability.
- Partner cross-functionally with Merchandising, Quality Control, Purchasing, and Manufacturing to ensure suspension products meet performance expectations and customer needs.
- Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure processes are efficient, repeatable, and aligned with product performance requirements.
- Analyze materials, labor, and production methods to reduce cost while maintaining or improving suspension performance.
- Perform hands-on testing and validation of shock and suspension prototypes, including fitment and functional evaluation.
- Support vehicle builds and testing with Team Speedway to validate product performance in real-world conditions. Follow all safety protocols and maintain a clean, organized, and safe work environment.
- Take ownership of assigned projects, follow through on commitments, adapt to changing priorities, and seek opportunities for continuous improvement and professional growth.
- Perform other duties as assigned.
Qualifications Required:
- Bachelors degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field, or a combination of education and 3+ years of relevant experience.
- Automotive experience, with a strong preference for suspension, chassis, or shock-related experience.
- Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, suspension systems, or ride and handling principles is a plus.
- Strong interpersonal and communication skills, with the ability to collaborate effectively across multiple departments and with external partners.
- Proficiency in SolidWorks and Microsoft Office, with strong attention to detail.
- Working knowledge of metal fabrication and manufacturing processes.
- Strong analytical thinking and problem-solving skills, with a structured approach to engineering work.
- Understanding of product testing, validation, and reliability principles.
