Design Engineer

Role & responsibilities

• Design and develop

  Brake system components, including foundation brakes and concept packaging layouts.

• Develop 3D models, 2D drawings

  , and routing designs for pipes and hoses while ensuring proper clearance in PLM (DMU analysis).

• Perform design calculations

  , tolerance stack-up analysis, and apply strict GD&T principles.

• Lead cost reduction (VAVE) initiatives

  by generating ideas, conducting feasibility studies, and executing them through adoption.

• Conduct DFMEA

  , create engineering design rules, and establish technical design justifications.

• Investigate quality concerns

  by performing root cause analysis and coordinating with CFTs (Supplier, Process, Assembly) for countermeasures.

• Manage project timelines

  by creating schedules aligned with project milestones and maintaining task trackers.

• Support global projects

  and remote engineering activities (GFS) in collaboration with global R&D centers.

• Coordinate with suppliers

  and manufacturing teams for tooling validation, process readiness, and production maturity.

• Track key performance metrics

  to ensure First Time Right (FTR 90%) and On Time Delivery (OTD = 100%).

Required Skills

• Domain knowledge

  of foundation brakes, automotive braking physics, NVH, and stiffness.

• Understanding of manufacturing processes

  including casting, forging, machining, sheet metal forming, welding, and injection/blow moulding.

• CAD software proficiency:

  CATIA V6 / 3D Experience

  (3D Modeling & Drafting) and PLM environment experience.

• Familiarity with automotive quality systems

  and development processes (such as ANPQP, V3P, and Engineering Change Notices).

Preferred candidate profile

• 3 to 12 Years of Experience into Brakes Design
• Experience into Catia is a must
• Good Communication & interpersonal Skills with Positive Attitude
