Job Overview

This position offers a rare opportunity to shape the structural DNA of VinFast vehicles at a senior technical level. The role sits at the intersection of safety, NVH, quality, and customer perception, with direct influence on long-term body architecture strategy, standards, and engineering excellence across the organization.

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.
