Role Summary:
The Exterior Trim Design Engineer will create and mature detailed designs for automotive exterior trim components. The role translates styling and engineering intent into manufacturable product definition, with particular focus on A-surface modeling, GD&T, locating strategy, and cross-functional integration.
Key Responsibilities
  • Develop exterior trim part models from early concepts through detailed design maturation.
  • Create and refine A-surface and engineering surfaces while maintaining design intent and downstream manufacturability.
  • Define part geometry, interfaces, attachment features, locating schemes, and datum structures.
  • Apply GD&T and support tolerance stack-up reviews to achieve fit, function, and assembly targets.
  • Collaborate with DREs, styling, manufacturing, suppliers, quality, and tooling teams to resolve design issues.
  • Apply DFM principles and incorporate feedback from toolmakers and manufacturing engineers.
  • Support design reviews, prototype builds, tool reviews, part inspections, and engineering changes.
  • Maintain accurate models, drawings, and product data in 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX).
Required Qualifications
  • Automotive exterior trim design experience from concept through design maturation.
  • Hands-on experience with A-surface part modeling and production-intent product definition.
  • Working knowledge of GD&T, datum schemes, locating strategy, and tolerance stack-up.
  • Experience applying DFM principles to automotive components.
  • Proficiency with 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) and relevant CAD modeling workflows.
  • Ability to work collaboratively and resolve design feedback in a fast-paced program environment.
Additional Relevant Skills
  • Familiarity with Class-A surface requirements, styling-to-engineering surface transition, and surface quality checks.
  • Knowledge of injection molding and other relevant trim processes, including draft, wall thickness, ribs, bosses, clips, shutoffs, and undercuts.
  • Understanding of material selection, shrinkage, warpage, sink, read-through, and appearance considerations.
  • Experience with digital mock-up, packaging, assembly access, serviceability, and adjacent-part interfaces.
  • Familiarity with engineering change control, design reviews, and supplier collaboration.
