Position Summary

We are seeking a motivated and detail-oriented Junior Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis Tires & Wheels to join our engineering team. In this role, you will assist with the engineering release, integration, and validation of wheels (alloy and steel), tires, tire pressure monitoring systems (TPMS), valves, and mounting hardware.

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) to support pre-production builds, line trial runs, dynamic tire/wheel balancing checks, and supplier coordination.

Key Responsibilities

• Engineering Release & BOM: Assist in managing 3D CAD models, drafting standards, and part releases (Bill of Materials maintenance and Engineering Change Orders) within PLM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).

• Packaging & Clearance: Conduct basic packaging and clearance checks for wheel/tire assemblies within the wheel well, ensuring proper offsets and clearance to suspension components and brake calipers under full jounce/steer conditions.

• Supplier & Assembly Support: Coordinate with Tier-1 wheel and tire suppliers to track prototype delivery timelines, sample builds, and initial dimensional reports.

• Testing & Validation: Support the execution of the Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R), tracking progress on wheel fatigue testing (radial/cornering), impact testing, and tire uniformity/wear evaluations.

• Plant Launch Support: Participate in on-site support at manufacturing facilities in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe during build events to troubleshoot tire mounting, runout, wheel torque, and wheel balancing issues.

• Problem Solving & Quality: Assist senior engineers in root cause analysis (8D, DFMEA investigations) for minor build defects or line fitment issues.
