Qualifications
  • At least 8 years of industry experience within automotive or other industries (consumer electronics, biomedical, aerospace, etc.).
  • B.S. degree (or above) in mechanical engineering or relevant equivalent experience.
  • Experience designing components and/or systems that include mechanism design, thermal design, PCB integration, sensor integration, user interface/user experience (UI/UX) considerations, and class A surface integration.
  • Proficient CAD designer, ideally within Catia V5/V6/3DX, though other equivalent systems will be considered. Advanced surfacing and solid modeling expertise is preferred, along with strong CAD structure/organizational skills.
  • Great problem-solving and communication skills.
  • Lead component drawing creation, including GD&T to ASME Y14.5 standards, in support of worst-case tolerance analysis.
  • Ability to identify optimization opportunities from CAE/testing results.
  • Good knowledge of manufacturing methods, such as sheet metal brake-press and stamping, injection molded plastic, cast metals, CNC machining, 3D printing, etc.
  • Knowledgeable in a wide range of EV vehicle systems, automotive design and manufacturing practices, and low-voltage electrical system integration. Direct experience preferred.
  • Conversant with DFMEA principles and execution.
