I know some of you guys have connections to shops at Infineon and elsewhere so I thought I'd ask here.

I'm involved with an automotive project for a national TV show. We need an experienced engineer to do suspension, steering, brake & drivetrain design for this vehicle. The engineer would work with the designer of the chassis structure to make it into a drivable automobile.

It might be as simple as adapting systems from an existing vehicle, selecting off-the-shelf components, or it might require some new design pieces. Making those choices is part of what we need help with.

The end result will be CAD drawings that we can use for purchasing, fabrication, and assembly. Solid modeling would be a plus.

Do you all know of any local companies or individuals who do this kind of work? Any contacts would be a big help.

Thanks

Mike
