Entry level Mechanical Engineer interested in Suspension...
(OP)
Hello,
I recently graduated with my BS in ME and I am on the hunt for a job. I am really interested in the automotive and aerospace industry. I am very interested in an automobile's suspension and geometry. Where could I go about learning more about suspension and or finding a job in the area? I understand that it's not usually an entry level specialty, but you have to start somewhere, right?
Thanks,
Ericson Calderon

So either join an OEM, or a supplier.
Areas where a supplier's expertise is easy to parlay into a good job at an OEM would be tires, shocks, and steering racks.

I started fresh out of school as a design/release engineer for a shock supplier. Moved to the ride development group where I tuned cars with the OEM engineers, then was hired by the OEM I supported as a vehicle dynamics engineer. If you are into suspensions, vehicle dynamics is the place to be.
