Chassis development for GR sports vehicles

[Features] GR is pursuing "creating better cars starting from motorsports." We are seeking individuals who can drive the development of chassis for GR mass-produced sports vehicles. [Job Description] [Overview] ・Design and develop chassis components that govern the fundamental characteristics of GR mass-produced sports vehicles: "driving, turning, and stopping." This involves drawing blueprints yourself, considering the impact on the overall performance of the vehicle, and developing performance and reliability while agreeing on requirements with suppliers. This also includes conducting dynamic performance design using actual vehicles, desk calculations, and simulators. ・Feed back knowledge gained from motorsports activities into the development of mass-produced sports vehicles, promoting the design and development of chassis components such as suspensions that consider a wide range of uses, from public roads to motorsports use. [Details] ・Design and development of chassis components (suspension, tires/wheels, steering system, pedals/shifts, etc.) and systems for GR mass-produced sports vehicles. ・Dynamic performance design and development using actual vehicles, desk calculations, and simulators. ・Sports vehicle testing on circuits and public roads. Visualization of usage (vibration, temperature, etc.) - Collaboration with the experimental department to propose performance targets required for the product (driving performance, reliability, NVH, etc.) and to verify evaluations - Design and development of chassis parts for motorsports participating vehicles ■ Expected role for this position: Member/Team Leader 【Background of Recruitment】 - GR Company is working on mass production of sports vehicles utilizing the knowledge gained from motorsports. In recent years, sports vehicles, like general passenger cars, have faced stricter legal regulations and increasingly sophisticated requirements for added value and performance. Furthermore, the demands on chassis have diversified due to the increase in vehicle variations. To respond to these changes, it is essential to optimize chassis specifications while considering the overall performance, mass, and cost of the vehicle. - In the development of GR mass-produced sports vehicles, we would like you to be responsible for planning and designing chassis parts that conform to new standards, taking into account feedback from motorsports while considering conventional passenger car standards. - We expect you to utilize your experience and technical skills to advance development together with us. We also expect you to play an active role in leading the project. Reply Recruitment [Workplace Image & Mission] ・Belonging to the Vehicle Development Department of the GR Company, we are an organization that develops parts and systems for sports vehicles. Our workplace, the Vehicle Design Office, has groups that handle a wide range of technical areas, including chassis, brakes, and body design. We communicate and cooperate across each field to develop vehicles, systems, and parts. ・Furthermore, in order to make GR vehicles more attractive, we are constantly exploring ways to create new value by fusing the thinking behind mass-produced vehicles with the knowledge gained from motorsport. ・https://toyota.jp/gr/ ・We plan, design, and evaluate chassis for GR mass-produced sports vehicles. ・We also develop chassis that balance performance and reliability that are satisfactory in motorsport with appropriate mass and cost as a product that customers can use on a daily basis. ・In activities using motorsport vehicles, circuit evaluations, and in-house test course evaluations, we incorporate new items into our runs and, based on measurement data and communication with professional drivers and in-house test drivers, We analyze areas for improvement to achieve better performance and reliability, implement countermeasures, and feed the results back into mass production development. [Job Satisfaction & PR] ・GR Company is a small organization where those in charge of vehicle planning, design, evaluation, and manufacturing are all close to each other, often within the same department or on the same floor. In this environment, you can easily communicate with experts in other technical fields while working on your own development tasks, making it an environment where you can easily make cars while utilizing your skills. ・Furthermore, there are abundant opportunities to develop while actually handling vehicles, parts, and data, which is an opportunity to not only improve your skills but also expand your network for those interested in motorsports and car manufacturing. ・The Shimoyama Technical Center (Toyota City), where you will be working, has a course that simulates the Nürburgring, as well as courses that reproduce various road surfaces, allowing engineers to actually drive cars and check their performance while developing. ・This is an ideal workplace for those interested in or with experience in motorsports. Experienced individuals can utilize their skills, while inexperienced individuals can grow by learning new knowledge and technologies through motorsports.
