The Design Engineer will lead plastics, sheet metal, casting, and forging product design activities for suspension systems, taking concepts through design for manufacturing (DFM) and managing engineering change requests and notices (ECR/ECN). This role focuses on 3D modeling, detailed drafting, and design validation while closely collaborating with clients to integrate their requirements into robust, production-ready component designs.

Design plastics, sheet metal, casting, and forging components for suspension systems from initial concept through to DFM and release.

Develop 3D models and detailed drawings using Catia V5 and/or UG NX, ensuring accuracy and completeness of all design documentation.

Implement and manage design changes, including handling ECR/ECN processes and updating models and drawings accordingly.

Perform quality checks on designs and drawings to ensure compliance with standards, customer specifications, and functional requirements.

Apply GD&T; principles to define and communicate tolerances, fits, and functional relationships between parts and assemblies.

Create and refine component designs that meet performance, durability, and manufacturability requirements.

Maintain clear and professional communication with team members and stakeholders throughout the design lifecycle.

Contribute positively to a team-oriented environment, sharing knowledge and supporting continuous improvement in design processes.

5 to 8 years of experience in product design using Catia V5 and/or UG NX.

- Proven experience in plastics, sheet metal, casting, and forging component design for suspension systems.
- Strong proficiency in 3D modeling and detailed drafting, including creation of production-ready drawings.
- Hands-on experience with design for manufacturing (DFM) and applying DFM principles to component and system design.
- Practical experience managing engineering change requests and notices (ECR/ECN) and updating design documentation.




- Solid knowledge of GD&T; and its application in defining tolerances and functional relationships in mechanical designs.
- Ability to integrate customer requirements into final product designs and balance performance, cost, and manufacturability.
- Experience specifically with suspension system components and related mechanical systems.

Background in design engineering for automotive or similar industries involving complex mechanical assemblies.

Familiarity with quality check processes for design validation and drawing review.

Solid problem-solving skills with the ability to resolve design issues and incorporate feedback efficiently.

Attention to detail in modeling, detailing, and documentation to ensure high-quality deliverables.

The Design Engineer will work in a cooperative engineering environment focused on the development of suspension system components. Daily work involves extensive use of Catia V5 and UG NX for 3D modeling and detailing, along with regular review of drawings and design documentation. The environment supports structured design processes, including DFM and ECR/ECN management, and encourages a quality-focused, detail-oriented approach to product development.
