Job Overview

Experience:

• 
  Expert in Body-in-White (BIW) engineering,
  including complete body structures, doors, closures, and body systems.
• 
  Extensive experience in designing and
  optimising body structures for:
• 
  Passive safety and crashworthiness performance
• 
  NVH performance and structural stiffness
• 
  Air leakage, water management, and sealing
  robustness
• 
  Strong understanding of load paths, joint
  design, material selection, and structural concepts across BIW and
  closures.
• 
  Proven capability to integrate passive safety
  requirements (global regulations and consumer test expectations) into
  BIW and closure design.
• 
  Deep experience working with NVH teams to manage
  structure-borne noise, body stiffness targets, sealing strategy, and wind
  noise contributors.
• 
  Demonstrated ability to define, review, and
  enforce BIW and closure design rules and best practices across
  vehicle programs.
• 
  Strong track record of driving cross-functional
  problem resolution involving CAE, testing, manufacturing, sealing
  systems, and suppliers.
• 
  Experience capturing, formalising, and deploying lessons
  learned into standards, guidelines, and future vehicle architectures.
• 
  Comfortable operating as a senior technical
  authority across global engineering organisations.

Position
Responsibilities:

• 
  Act as the technical authority for BIW,
  body structure, doors, and closures across VinFast vehicle programs for
  the vehicle quality division.
• 
  Lead the definition, review, and continuous
  improvement of BIW and closure design rules, standards, and
  technical guidelines.
• 
  Drive resolution of all major BIW-, door-, and
  closure-related issues, including structural performance, NVH, air
  leakage, and quality concerns.
• 
  Support and guide teams in achieving passive
  safety targets, ensuring structural concepts align with global safety
  expectations.
• 
  Work closely with NVH, Safety, Durability,
  Manufacturing, and Sealing teams to deliver robust and balanced body
  solutions.
• 
  Review and challenge designs at concept, detailed
  design, and validation stages to ensure technical excellence and
  robustness.
• 
  Lead technical reviews, root-cause
  investigations, and corrective action definition for complex body-related
  issues.
• 
  Capture key learnings from projects and ensure
  they are embedded into future platform strategies, standards, and
  processes.
• 
  Provide expert input to senior leadership on
  body structure strategy, risks, and technical direction

Requirements

• 
  Bachelor’s degree or higher in Mechanical
  Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Structural Engineering, or a related
  discipline.
• 
  20+ years of experience
  in body structure development within
  industry-leading OEMs or Tier-1–led vehicle programs.
• 
  Exceptional technical judgement with a
  systems-level understanding of complete vehicle body performance.
• 
  Strong leadership and influencing skills, able to
  drive decisions across multiple stakeholders without direct line
  management.
• 
  Excellent communication skills, capable of
  articulating complex structural topics clearly to both technical and
  non-technical audiences.
• 
  Structured, analytical approach to problem
  solving, with a strong bias toward root cause and prevention.
• 
  Comfortable working in a fast-paced,
  high-expectation environment with significant technical accountability.
