Michael G. Email & Phone Number

I work at Polaris as a Sr. Systems engineer for suspensions on Indian motorcycles. I am the lead engineer for suspension components and the system's structural design. I worked at Honda R&D as a suspension design engineer for over 3 years. I've worked extensively with Catia and the other internal suspension design tools. I developed a new Multi-Link suspension from an atypical geometry concept into mass production mature system. I received a patent for one of the structures that I had the idea for. I excel at complex and all-inclusive thinking and problem solving. I've been responsible for the creation of design concepts, generation of 3D layouts and 2D drawings, verification of performance & manufacturability, and management of cost & weight. I've been responsible for component development plans, schedules, and coordination of supporting activity with related departments, suppliers, and factories. I have demonstrated design capability, am self-motivated, technically inquisitive, and have a desire for comprehensive understanding of Chassis Design and its impact to overall vehicle performance, including vehicle dynamics, ride comfort, fuel economy, marketability, and value to the customer.Baja SAE race team - vehicle dynamics, suspension systems, data acquisition, composites, competition driver, welding, fabrication, machining, ergonomicsSpecialties: Structural component design, bolted joints, suspension systems, and vehicle dynamics.
