Position Summary

We are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated Junior Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis Suspension to join our engineering team. In this role, you will support the end-to-end design, development, validation, and release of chassis suspension components and assemblies (e.g., control arms, springs, dampers, bushings, sway bars, and knuckles).

This is a remote position based in Mexico, but it requires flexibility to travel to plant sites and engineering centers in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) for cross-functional alignment, build support, and supplier coordination.

Key Responsibilities

• Component Release: Assist in managing the CAD modeling, drafting standards, and release process (BOM maintenance, engineering changes, and part release) within PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).
• Design & Development: Work with senior engineers and suppliers to evaluate suspension components for packaging, durability, NVH (Noise, Vibration, and Harshness), clearance, and serviceability.
• Supplier & Assembly Support: Coordinate with tier-1 suppliers and local manufacturing facilities in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe to resolve build issues, design discrepancies, and quality concerns.
• Testing & Validation: Support the development of DVP&R (Design Verification Plan and Report) and monitor component testing (bench, rig, and vehicle-level).
• Root Cause Analysis: Participate in 8D, DFMEA, and quality investigations to address manufacturing or field issues related to chassis components.
• Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner with purchasing, quality, vehicle integration, and plant launch teams to ensure components meet timing, cost, and weight targets.

Qualifications & Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Mechatronics, or a related field.
• Experience: 1–3 years of experience in automotive product engineering, specifically within chassis, suspension, or mechanical component design (internships/co-ops considered).
• Technical Skills:
• Basic proficiency in 3D CAD modeling software (e.g., CATIA V5/V6, NX, or SolidWorks).
• Fundamental understanding of suspension kinematics, GD&T (Geometric Dimensioning & Tolerancing), and manufacturing processes (casting, forging, stamping).
• Familiarity with PLM systems and engineering change management processes.
• Languages: Business fluency in Spanish and professional working proficiency in English (written and verbal).
• Travel: Willingness and ability to travel to Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) as required by project milestones and launch activities.

Preferred Qualifications

• Knowledge of automotive industry standards (IATF 16949, ISO/TS).
• Experience participating in launch support or assembly plant environments in Mexico.
• Exposure to finite element analysis (FEA) interpretation or multibody dynamics tools.
