Design Packaging Engineer
Summary
A design/packaging engineer developing automotive system and component CAD in CATIA V5 under a Design Responsible Engineer — ensuring data integrity, resolving clash/clearance issues, integrating parts across the vehicle, and refining designs with CAE/NVH feedback for feasibility, cost, and weight.
What you get to do
· The Design/Package Engineer will be responsible for developing system and component CAD using Catia V5 with directions from the Design Responsible Engineer.
· ensure component attributes are correct and the data has integrity including Catia tree structure that represents the intended assembly and purchasing plan, also continue to feedback information from change management back to the tree.
· assure manufacturing feasibility on the component initially by applying best practice with supplier and DRE feedback.
· ensuring all clash and clearance items related to the component environment are resolved before design is released. This includes all parts in the environment across multiple disciplines.
· total vehicle integration of all components they create and ensure the interface with the vehicle and other components across areas is compatible.
· work closely with the CAE and NVH teams modifying the design to respond to the testing results.
· Lead the team to identify and resolve integration and design issues during vehicle development.
· participate in team meetings, working with all product development engineers including systems and components, manufacturing, and service to ensure the technical targets being included in the design and solutions are optimized for cost and weight within the CAD.
· Provide guidance and constraints to Development Engineers as the component design matures to ensure a feasible design.
· Expected responsibilities and functions include Benchmarking of competitive designs, Weight Management, Durability & Reliability, CAE performance, and others to assure all the component requirements are met and part of the design.
· Bachelor of Science Degree in Mechanical Engineering or equivalent from an ABET accredited or equivalent experience.
· 5+ years of Experience in Design and Packaging or similar role
· Excellent communication Team building and relationship building skills.
· Excellent Catia skills.
· Direct development or package experience in body structure
· Broad vehicle technical knowledge
· Functional experience with NHTSA/FMVSS, CARB, EPA requirements.
· Ability and Desire work in a fun and fast paced environment.
