Groupe SEGULA Technologies SA is seeking a Junior Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis to join the vehicle engineering team. This remote Mexico-based role requires occasional travel to Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe for prototype and pre-production builds addressing fitment and assembly issues.
You will support CAD release, DVP&R tracking, and collaboration with suppliers and senior engineers to ensure robust chassis subsystem integration and quality across programs.
We are seeking an enthusiastic and detail-oriented Junior Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis to join our vehicle engineering team. In this broad role, you will support the design, integration, release, and plant execution of core chassis systems and subsystems—which may encompass suspension, steering, braking systems, frame/subframes, or wheel-end assemblies.
This is a remote position based in Mexico, but it requires flexibility to travel to manufacturing plants and technical centers in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) to support launch builds, physical testing, supplier alignment, and cross-functional problem-solving on the assembly floor.
CAD & Part Release Management: Create, maintain, and release 3D CAD models, 2D engineering drawings, and Bill of Materials (BOM) changes using PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).
Cross-System Integration: Conduct basic packaging and dynamic clearance studies to ensure chassis components do not interfere with adjacent subsystems (powertrain, body, wiring harnesses, brake lines).
Supplier Coordination: Work alongside senior engineers and Tier-1/Tier-2 suppliers to monitor tooling timing, prototype deliveries, and initial dimensional inspection reports.
Validation & Testing: Assist in tracking the execution of the Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), following up on laboratory, rig, and vehicle-level durability/functional testing.
On-Site Plant Support: Participate in hands-on build support at assembly plants in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe during prototype and pre-production build phases to address fitment, clearance, and assembly process issues.
Root Cause & Quality: Support engineering investigations (DFMEA, 8D, 5-Why) for component failures, manufacturing defects, or line issues.
