Engineer - Paint Engineering

As a BIW Paint Engineer, you will be responsible for accessing and reviewing vehicle geometry using virtual tools in 3D Experience to ensure compatibility with paint processes and facilities. You will develop process solutions to meet operational targets and create cost-effective solutions for all engineering changes while adhering to CAPEX & OPEX targets. It will be your duty to evaluate BIW geometry and paint content against Global Paint Manufacturing Standards and assess advanced design themes/models for compliance with Paint Shop processes. In this role, you will collaborate with Paint VME to define and review process simulations and work within product squads to address paint process feasibility issues. You will support the paint tooling design department by introducing required BIW features into the product and defining tooling functional requirements. Identifying process incompatibilities resulting from product content & design will be part of your responsibilities, along with developing an initial draft of the process deck using appropriate process authoring tools. Furthermore, you will assist the paint programme lead engineer in progressing through the virtual phase of the programme and produce/review Process Failure Mode Effect Analysis (PFMEA) documents to mitigate risks. Essential requirements for this role include an understanding of Paint Manufacturing/Engineering processes, tools & techniques, demonstrated ability to create detailed action plans, and experience in automotive model design & development. You should possess knowledge or experience of wax, paint, and sealer applications and programming, along with a degree or technical qualification in Engineering, Manufacturing, or a related field. An innovative approach to technical problem-solving, familiarity with Agile, JIRA, or Scrum methodology, project management experience, and process authoring skills are also essential. Experience working in multi-disciplinary teams to deliver complex technical solutions and proficiency in Dassault software (CATIA, DELMIA, 3DX Platform) will be beneficial for this role.,
