    Description

    Mission

    We are seeking high-caliber Lead Engineers to spearhead the development of Door Handles for current production programs. In this role, you will be responsible for the end-to-end development of exterior and interior handle mechanisms. You will lead strategic suppliers through an accelerated "go-fast" application process, moving from initial design to full production readiness.

    Key Responsibilities

    Supplier Leadership: Lead and manage suppliers through all development stages, ensuring parts are released and ready for production tooling.

    Project Management: Maintain project timing, drive milestone compliance, and keep management informed of progress and roadblocks.

    Quality & Validation: Ensure all tooled parts are validated per PPAP requirements and coordinate both supplier and internal vehicle/sub-system validation testing.

    Technical Design: Perform design, CAD, and drawing reviews.

    Run analytical verifications including simulations, calculations, and stack-ups.

    Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work with internal technical groups (including latching and closures) to ensure all interface requirements are met.

    Documentation: Integrate lessons learned into FMEAs, prepare technical presentations, and manage supplier design data within internal systems (WERS, Teamcenter).

    Profile

    • Experience: 10+ years of mechanisms development experience (ideally related to latching, handles, or exterior mechanisms).
    • Technical Knowledge: Strong understanding of engineering plastics, steels, and manufacturing processes (molding, stampings, castings).
    • Software Proficiency: Experience with CATIA V5/V6, Teamcenter/Enovia, and Microsoft Office tools.
    • Engineering Tools: Expertise with DFMEA, DVP&R, GD&T, and problem-solving tools (5D/8D, 6-sigma).
    • Communication: Excellent written and verbal communication skills for regular interaction with technical groups and management.

    Preferred Qualifications

    • Experience with water management, sealing design, greases, and painted plastics.
    • Understanding of electronics such as microswitches and small harnesses.
    • Familiarity with tolerance analytical tools (C-Tol, 3DCS, Enventive) or CAE tools (ADAMS, FEA, Hypermesh).
