Job description

Expleois a trusted partner for end-to-end, integrated engineering, quality services and management consulting for digital transformation. We help businesses harness unrelenting technological change to successfully deliver innovations that will help them gain a competitive advantage and improve the everyday lives of people around the globe. As part of our continued support to a major customer in the Automotive industry, we are seeking an experienced ADAS Mechanical Integration Engineer.

Responsibilities

• Sensor Packaging & Integration: Lead the mechanical packaging of ADAS components across diverse vehicle zones, including interior packaging (windshield-mounted cameras), exterior styling integration (bumpers, mirrors, grilles), and internal modules (Domain Controllers).
• Cross-Functional Styling Alignment: Partner with studio styling and exterior design teams to integrate sensors seamlessly into bumpers, mirrors, and trim without compromising vehicle aesthetics.
• Field of View (FoV) Protection: Conduct rigorous obstruction and line-of-sight studies to ensure vehicle body panels, fascia, glass frit patterns, or wipers do not block sensor optical paths.
• Precision Alignment: Establish strict positional accuracy schemes and manage critical sensor-to-vehicle tolerance stack-ups to guarantee software perception accuracy.
• Environmental & Thermal Shielding: Design robust brackets, structural housings, and environmental enclosures capable of withstand high vibrations, thermal extremes, and impact loads.
• Supplier Management: Collaborate closely with Tier 1 sensor suppliers to align on mechanical interfaces, data sheets, and physical delivery timelines.

Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a closely related technical discipline.
• Proven background in automotive product development, specifically focusing on electromechanical integration or electronic component packaging.

Essential Skills

• Primary CAD Expert: Advanced proficiency in CATIA (V5 or V6) for complex 3D solid modeling, surface design, and large assembly management.
• GD&T Expertise: Mastery of Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) according to ISO / ISO GPS.
• Tolerance Stack-up Analysis: Ability to perform 1D/2D tolerance analyses to evaluate the cumulative impact of manufacturing variations on sensor alignment.
• Structural Engineering: Strong fundamental understanding of mechanics, vibration mitigation, and thermal management for electronic modules.

Desired Skills

• Systems Engineering: Familiarity with systems engineering frameworks, including the V-model, DFMEA, and ISO 26262 functional safety requirements.
• Optics & Active Cleaning: Basic understanding of optical lensing parameters and experience integrating sensor cleaning hardware (fluid spray nozzles or air jets).
• Simulation Exposure: Ability to interpret Finite Element Analysis (FEA) and Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) results to optimize structural designs.

Experience

• Industry Tenure: Direct experience as a mechanical packaging or integration engineer within an automotive OEM or Tier 1 supplier environment.
• ADAS Lifecycle: Demonstrated experience taking ADAS components (cameras, radars, or ECUs) from initial concept phase through to manufacturing launch.
• Problem Solving: Practical experience applying structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, Fishbone, 5-Why) to resolve complex physical integration issues.
