Job description

Position Overview

We are seeking a Mid-Level Design & Release Engineer (DRE) specializing in Body Closures to drive the engineering development, integration, and release of both static structural closures and dynamic moving closure mechanisms. In this hybrid role, you will be responsible for managing end-to-end component lifecycle execution from initial 3D CAD surface packaging to final manufacturing launch. You will collaborate directly with OEM design teams, CAE analysts, quality engineers, and Tier-1 suppliers to ensure closure assemblies satisfy structural rigidity, sealing, durability, ergonomic, and crash performance requirements.

Key Responsibilities

• Component Design & Release: Lead the design, packaging, release, and life-cycle management (DCN/ECN) for dynamic closures (doors, hood, liftgate/tailgate, trunk) and static structural closure systems.

• Mechanism & Sealing Integration: Engineer functional moving systems, including hinges, latches, strikers, check arms, power closing actuators, side-impact beams, and weather-strip sealing interfaces.

• 3D CAD & Clearance Analysis: Perform packaging studies, door-swing kinematically guided clearance checks, dynamic seal-compression modeling, and surface alignment evaluations in Siemens NX or CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE.

• Engineering Quality & Stack-ups: Establish GD&T standards, tolerance stack-up analyses (datum schemes, flush & gap requirements), DFMEAs, and complete Bill of Materials (BOM) management.

• Validation & Testing: Support CAE structural analysis (modal, fatigue, latch durability, water-leakage testing) and physical vehicle prototype testing to resolve fitment or functionality issues.

• Supplier & Cross-Functional Coordination: Manage Tier-1 closure suppliers and collaborate with Stamping, Tooling, BIW Assembly, and Quality teams to guarantee Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) feasibility.
