About this role
The Mechanical Design Engineer is responsible for the design and optimization of plastic components, mainly injection-molded parts and panels, within a vehicle development program.
The role supports key project milestones (Concept & A-release) by ensuring technical feasibility, product performance (durability, HIC), and compliance with QDCFS targets.
Design and optimize plastic injection-molded parts (including 2K) and some aluminum components.Ensure concept feasibility (Concept Gate) by optimizing stiffness and critical areas (front lid & corner panels).Develop and maintain CAD models using CATIA (solid & surface).Support durability and HIC calculations at a high level.Manage key engineering deliverables:QDCFSFMEABCP checklistDefine and track the L4 project timeline and validation strategy (TR strategy).Support prototype development (mainly SLS, with some steel brackets) for proof of concept.Coordinate within the organization (e.g., VDT structure) and with cross-functional teams.Ensure monthly progress tracking and reporting, including part list updates. Mechanical Engineering degree (or equivalent)2–5 years of experience in mechanical designExperience in automotive plastic components (panels, injection parts) is highly preferredFamiliarity with OEM or Tier-1 environments is a plusHard Skills
