Position Overview

We are seeking a Jr. Design & Release Engineer (DRE) specializing in Front Structure Closures to support the design, development, packaging, and release of vehicle front-end closure assemblies. In this hybrid role, you will assist in managing component lifecycles for front-end closure systems, including hoods/bonnets, hood latching mechanisms, hinges, front structural reinforcement interfaces, and crash-box/crumple-zone packaging. You will collaborate closely with senior DREs, CAE simulation engineers, manufacturing plant personnel, and Tier-1 suppliers to ensure components meet structural rigidity, pedestrian protection safety standards, and assembly feasibility.

Key Responsibilities

• CAD Modeling & Packaging: Support 3D CAD modeling, component design updates, packaging studies, and clearance evaluations for front closure assemblies and structural interfaces in Siemens NX or CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE.

• Component Release & Change Management: Assist in creating, routing, and releasing Design Change Notices (DCN/ECN), updating Bills of Materials (BOM), and maintaining revision control throughout the product development lifecycle.

• Front Structural Integration: Work on the interface between moving closure panels (hood) and fixed front-end structural members (aprons, shock towers, radiator core supports, and bumper beams).

• Engineering Standards Application: Apply basic to intermediate Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) principles, conduct 2D/3D tolerance stack-up checks, and assist in updating DFMEA documents.

• Validation & Testing Support: Support physical prototype builds, vehicle assembly trial runs, and CAE validation feedback loop evaluations (modal, durability, hood flutter, and pedestrian impact testing).

• Cross-Functional Communication: Work alongside Stamping, Tooling, BIW Assembly, and Quality teams to verify basic Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) guidelines.
