JOB DESCRIPTION

• Lead the integration and package a wide variety of lighting components in CAD, such as headlmaps, light pipes, functional lamps and signalling lamps for the assigned vehicle lines.
• Work with the assigned design release engineers to optimize the design with special focus on cost, mass and part count
• Focus ideas on combining and eliminating redundancy and components to streamline designs and manufacturing processes
• Push the limits to optimize vehicle mechanical architecture, and electrical system integration into the overall product and process, driving engineering tradeoffs to optimize performance, cost, and mass
• Partner with manufacturing engineering to drive new ideas to minimize assembly time, drive designs that deliver high first pass factory yields, and high field reliability
• Collaboratively design mechanical components by interfacing with multiple business functions within the company in support of Body Lighting such as Studio, Purchasing and Exteriors.
• Develop and document component mechanical functional requirements based on product requirements for custom, semi-custom, and off-the-shelf components
• Consider all aspects of integration such as UI/UX, EMC, service, manufacturing build feasibility, thermal, durability, mounting, ensuring correct clearances, NVH, water/dust ingress, component functionality, perceived quality, etc
• Complete component design verification plans to ensure we deliver low mass, low cost, yet durable parts and modules to the vehicle program
• Perform other duties as required or assigned within the scope of the position

Requirement:

• B.S degree (or above), in mechanical engineering, or relevant equivalent experience
• Ability to identify optimization opportunities from CAE/testing results
• At least 5+ years industry experience within automotive or other related industries
• Be a proficient CAD designer, ideally within Catia V5 / V6 / 3DX, though other equivalent systems will be considered. Advanced surfacing and solid modelling expertise is preferred, along with strong CAD structure/organizational skills
• B.S degree (or above), in mechanical engineering, or relevant equivalent experience
• Excellent knowledge of manufacturing methods such as sheet metal brake-press and stamping, injection molded plastic, cast metals, CNC machining, 3D printing etc
• Experience designing components and /or systems that include mechanism design, thermal design, PCB integration, plastic molding and class A surface integration
• Workable knowledge with DFMEA principles and execution
