About Pluto
Pluto engineers scooter-sized vehicles purpose-built for last-mile delivery, carrying 2× more orders than conventional two-wheelers.
About the Role
Own the structural backbone of Pluto's electric vehicle platform, including chassis, suspension, brakes, and steering from concept to production.
Responsibilities
- Own structural and chassis systems from concept, validation, tooling, and SOP through production release.
- Drive design decisions for chassis, suspension, brakes, steering, structural packaging, and manufacturability.
- Integrate battery, powertrain, and electronics into a tight and practical vehicle structure.
- Lead supplier feasibility reviews, DFM discussions, tooling sign-offs, and cost trade-offs.
- Manage PLM governance, revision control, EBOM integrity, and engineering change management through ECN and ECR processes.
- Provide hands-on technical leadership during prototype, pilot, and validation builds.
- Collaborate with manufacturing engineering on jigs, fixtures, welding sequences, and assembly processes.
- Ensure structural systems meet AIS and CMVR requirements.
- Own root-cause analysis for field issues, warranty concerns, quality problems, and fitment issues.
- Drive cost and weight optimization without compromising safety or performance.
- Mentor junior engineers and help build stronger engineering standards and lessons learned.
Requirements
- 7+ years of experience in chassis and structural engineering, ideally on 2W, 3W, or EV platforms.
- Experience shipping production vehicles or production-grade hardware.
- Strong understanding of vehicle dynamics, brake feel, suspension geometry, steering compliance, and real-world structural trade-offs.
- Experience working with suppliers on feasibility, DFM, tooling, cost, and production readiness.
- Strong command of PLM systems, DFMEA, DVP, PPAP, GD&T, and production release processes.
- Ability to read CAE and test data and convert insights into design action.
- Strong cross-functional communication skills with the ability to align teams and drive decisions.
