Ali E.

Mechanical & Automotive Engineer

Suspension, chassis & vehicle-dynamics engineer specializing in electric and performance vehicles. I take vehicle systems from first-principles kinematics and FEA through prototype validation, regulator-witnessed testing, and remote-supervised manufacturing. Recent work: ✅ Designed and ran a witnessed component-validation program for a vehicle conversion that was granted IVA approval (UK type-approval route), rig design, instrumentation, load cases, and the evidence package. ✅ Led the suspension and steer-to-tilt steering design on a seated electric quad, inverted the steering-to-tilt kinematics, held bump steer under 2° across full travel; delivered as a shipped, road-tested product with manufacturing supervised remotely in China. ✅ Lead chassis & vehicle-dynamics engineer on a formula-style EV, full front/rear suspension, FEA across two chassis architectures, and a manufacturing strategy that cut CNC parts to 2% of the total. ✅ Built a double-wishbone suspension kinematic model in MATLAB, validated against MSC Adams, and visualized in 3D (Python/PyBullet). Core expertise: • Suspension & steering system design (double-wishbone, MacPherson, tilting/steer-to-tilt) • Chassis design: tubular space frame, ladder frame, monocoque • Vehicle dynamics, suspension kinematics & handling • FEA & CFD (ANSYS); structural validation & component testing • SolidWorks (advanced), CATIA, Fusion 360; GD&T & production drawings • Python & MATLAB modeling; CODESYS actuator control & strain-gauge instrumentation • Design for manufacturing; remote manufacturing & assembly supervision I work with EV and performance-vehicle startups, conversion and low-volume builders, and teams that need a specialist to own the suspension, chassis, or vehicle-dynamics side of a build — from concept through validated, manufacturable, approved hardware. Whether you need a single suspension subsystem, a full chassis, regulatory validation, or a vehicle taken from concept to running prototype, I deliver designs that are robust, manufacturable, and proven.
