Description

As an Engineer – Automotive Design, you will be an individual contributor within the Global Engineering Design team, supporting the product development lifecycle across automotive interior and exterior systems.

You will work on components such as instrument panels, door trims, hard trims, fascias, and functional trims, creating CAD designs aligned with engineering standards and programme requirements.

This role requires robust expertise in CATIA (V5/V6), digital assembly processes, and product lifecycle management tools, along with the ability to collaborate effectively with cross-functional engineering teams.

Responsibilities
Execute component and subsystem-level design projects
Develop 3D CAD models using CATIA V5/V6 in line with engineering standards
Deliver designs aligned to programme timelines and quality expectations
Perform digital pre-assembly and maintain accurate Bill of Materials (BOM)
Conduct static and dynamic clearance analyses
Ensure alignment between CAD models and BOM structures
Implement design improvements based on CAE/CFD analysis and testing inputs




Apply plastic component design and manufacturing principles
Manage CAD data within PLM tools (e.g., Teamcenter / 3DEXPERIENCE)
Collaborate with D&R; engineers and cross-functional teams
Participate in design reviews and continuous improvement initiatives

Qualifications

Education
Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive Engineering, or related discipline

Experience
4+ years of experience in automotive design and product development
Robust hands-on experience in CATIA V5 (V6 exposure is an advantage)
Experience in interior or exterior automotive systems
