Overview

We are seeking an experienced Functional Perceived Quality Engineer (FPQE) /

Convergence Engineer to support vehicle development programs by driving fit and

finish quality targets across interior and exterior systems. The role involves establishing

and validating gap and flush requirements, performing vehicle-level convergence

analysis, and collaborating with cross-functional teams to ensure world-class perceived

quality from concept through production launch.

Responsibilities

• Develop and manage vehicle-level gap and flush requirements for interior and

exterior components throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Define, maintain, and monitor section books and associated quality KPIs.

with perceived quality targets.

• Validate perceived quality requirements using CAD tools such as CATIA or NX.

• Lead target-setting workshops with Styling, Product Engineering, Manufacturing,

and Quality teams.

• Conduct dimensional analysis, tolerance stack-up studies, and convergence

assessments.

• Define and review datum strategies for sheet metal and interior trim systems.

• Support issue identification,



root cause analysis, and escalation management

during development and launch phases.

• Collaborate with manufacturing teams to ensure design feasibility and process

capability.

• Monitor and report program quality metrics and convergence status to

stakeholders.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Product

Design, or a related field.

• Experience in datum strategy development for body, closure, and interior

systems.

• Proficient in GD&T; principles and tolerance stack-up analysis (1D and 3D).

• Hands-on experience with sheet metal and plastic component

design/manufacturing considerations.

• Knowledge of functional tolerancing methodologies.

• Familiarity with vehicle manufacturing processes, including Body Shop and

General Assembly.

• Experience using CATIA V5 and/or Siemens NX for geometry validation and

section analysis.

• Ability to analyze dimensional variation and support convergence activities

through launch.
