What you’ll do:

A Lighting System Design Engineer is responsible for the full lifecycle design, development, and integration of a vehicle's lighting systems. This includes headlights, taillights, and signalling lights, ensuring they meet safety, performance, and aesthetic requirements.

Performance & Safety:
Conduct optical simulations and analyses to ensure the lighting meets legal and safety standards (e.g., DOT, ECE, AIS regulations). Evaluate light distribution, intensity,



and beam patterns.

Thermal Management: Analyze and design for the thermal management of LED and other light sources to ensure longevity and consistent performance. This often involves creating heat sinks and airflow paths.

Electrical Integration: Collaborate with electrical engineers to integrate the lighting system with the vehicle's electrical architecture. This includes designing wiring harnesses, controllers, and communication protocols (e.g., CAN bus).

Prototyping & Testing : Build and test prototypes to validate the design. Develop and execute comprehensive test plans (DVP&R;) for mechanical, electrical, and environmental validation.

Supplier Management: Work with suppliers to source components, negotiate specifications, and ensure the quality of manufactured parts.

Manufacturing Process: Work with suppliers to identify manufacturing process (DFM), Tooling feasibility, molding, casting etc.

Problem-Solving: Diagnose and resolve issues that arise during the design, testing, and manufacturing phases.
