Regular Mechanical Design Engineer

Project description

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the development of automotive components, with a focus on 3D modeling, surface design, mechanical part design, and product integration. The ideal candidate will have experience with CATIA V5, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T), and mechanical design principles, preferably within the automotive industry. The engineer will collaborate with cross-functional and global teams to develop products that meet customer specifications, quality standards, and project requirements.

Responsibilities

• - Analyze customer specifications and engineering requirements. - Create and modify 3D components and assemblies using CATIA V5, including GSD and Part Design. - Design plastic components considering geometry, assembly constraints, and manufacturing feasibility. - Generate and update 2D engineering drawings according to applicable standards. - Apply GD&T principles based on ASME Y14.5 and support tolerance stack-up analysis. - Participate in design reviews and implement feedback from senior engineers and customers. - Support design feasibility assessments related to injection molding, tooling, assembly, and finishing processes. - Prepare technical documentation and design justifications. - Collaborate with optical, electronic, manufacturing, quality, and project teams. - Support design validation activities and resolve issues identified during development and testing. - Track assigned engineering deliverables and ensure completion according to project requirements and timelines.

SKILLS

Must have

• - Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field. - 3–5 years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in the automotive industry. - Good to advanced proficiency in CATIA V5, particularly GSD and Part Design. - Working knowledge of GD&T according to ASME Y14.5. - Experience with plastic component design and basic understanding of injection molding. - Ability to interpret engineering drawings and technical specifications. - Advanced English communication skills. - Ability to work independently on assigned tasks and collaborate effectively with senior engineers. - Experience with automotive lighting components or other automotive plastic parts. - Knowledge of mold tooling, assembly tolerances, coatings, metallization, or surface finishing. - Familiarity with tolerance stack-up analysis. - Basic experience with FEA or design validation activities. - Knowledge of automotive product development processes and design standards

Nice to have

- Knowledge of mechanical integration with printed circuit boards (PCBs), LEDs, and related electronic components.
