Responsible for designing and developing automotive chassis components using CATIA V6, including suspension and steering systems, subframes, engine mounts, wheels, brakes, and fuel/exhaust systems. Creates and interprets 3D models and 2D engineering drawings, applying GD&T and design-for-manufacturability (DFM) principles. Collaborates with engineering teams and suppliers to resolve technical issues, evaluates design proposals, interprets basic CAE analysis results, and ensures designs meet performance, quality, and project schedule requirements.
- 5+ years of relevant engineering/design experience.
- Automotive component design and development experience.
- Proficiency in CATIA V6 and strong solid-modeling skills.
- Understanding of design intent and robust modeling practices.
- Ability to create and interpret 2D engineering drawings.
- Working knowledge of GD&T and DFM principles.
- Ability to independently analyze technical problems and collaborate with engineering teams and suppliers.
- Strong project management and prioritization skills.
- Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related engineering discipline.
