• Engineering integration: Incorporate manufacturability, Design for Assembly, and product integration principles into component and subsystem designs.
• Technical documentation: Maintain material, mass, and other relevant part specifications within math files and ensure data meets required quality standards.
• NX analysis: Perform NX analyses for assigned subsystems, interpret results, and communicate technical findings to relevant stakeholders.
• Virtual integration: Develop virtual integration solutions that support program and vehicle requirements, analyzing data from individual parts through complete vehicle integration.
• Vehicle-level analysis: Interrogate virtual data, vehicle assembly structures, part design usage, and configuration requirements to identify integration issues and support technical decisions.
• Complex problem-solving: Address non-routine technical challenges involving complex components, subsystems, and broader vehicle integration requirements.
• Program support: Coordinate program and related activities under technical guidance, supporting timing, deliverables, and virtual design objectives.
• Collaboration and reviews: Work closely with engineers and designers, participate in design and virtual reviews, and support colleagues with component and integration activities.
• Communication: Proactively communicate project status, technical risks, timing concerns, and issues to relevant technical and program stakeholders.
• Continuous improvement: Share lessons learned, recommend improvements to engineering practices, stay current with relevant technologies, and actively pursue professional development.

Requirements:

• Education: Completed engineering degree or equivalent technical qualification.
• Automotive expertise: Working knowledge of seat development, particularly foam, plastic, and stamping components.
• CAD proficiency: Strong proficiency with NX and other relevant CAD tools.
• Data management: Knowledge of CAD and engineering data management systems, including PLM environments.
• Virtual design tools: Experience with VisMockup and the Windows Suite.
• Modeling knowledge: Strong understanding of standard modeling methods and maintaining math fidelity throughout the product development cycle.
• Virtual integration: Solid knowledge of virtual integration principles, practices, procedures, and methodologies.
• Technical problem-solving: Ability to independently analyze and resolve complex, non-routine technical problems involving components, subsystems, and vehicle integration.
• Design for manufacturing: Understanding of manufacturability, Design for Assembly, and product integration principles.
• Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with engineers, designers, technical leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders.
• Communication: Clear and proactive communication skills, particularly when discussing technical risks, project status, priorities, and delivery timelines.
• Autonomy and judgment: Ability to work independently while knowing when to seek technical guidance and demonstrating sound technical judgment.
• Organization: Ability to manage competing priorities and consistently meet program schedules and technical deliverables.
• English: Intermediate English proficiency or higher.

Benefits:

• Full-time employment in a hybrid work model.
• On-site collaboration three days per week, Tuesday through Thursday, in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo.
• Opportunity to work on complex automotive product development and vehicle integration projects.
• Exposure to advanced CAD, virtual design, modeling, and digital vehicle integration practices.
• Collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering and design teams.
• Opportunities for continuous learning, technical development, and professional growth.
• Inclusive working environment focused on equal opportunity, collaboration, and belonging.
• Opportunity to contribute to large-scale mobility projects focused on safer, more sustainable, and innovative transportation.
• Potential access to company-specific benefits and employment conditions according to the partner's local benefits package.
