My role on the Fisker Sunset was to lead the engineering and development of the retractable hardtop system, including roof kinematics, packaging, structure, supplier coordination, prototype development, and production feasibility.
My convertible roof experience includes work on the Volkswagen New Beetle, Chevrolet SSR, Mercedes-Benz CLK and SLK, Chrysler PT Cruiser Convertible, Ford Thunderbird, Chrysler Crossfire, Pontiac G6 Convertible, Chrysler Sebring Convertible, Fisker Karma Sunset, and multiple concept vehicle programs.
This work covered retractable hardtops, soft tops, mechanism packaging, body integration, sealing strategy, structural hardpoints, prototype support, supplier coordination, and production-development problem solving.
