Resumo da oferta

EDAG Inc. seeks an automotive exterior trim engineer to guide parts from concept through design maturation, tooling, testing, verification, and launch. You will define interfaces, packaging, attachment strategy, and lead design reviews with cross-functional teams.

You will also drive DFMEAs, manage design risk, interpret drawings, and coordinate readiness activities with body, lighting, and other exterior systems, ensuring quality, timing, and cost targets are met.

Qualificações

• Bachelor's degree in Engineering.
• Experience engineering and releasing automotive exterior trim parts, including A-surface components.
• Experience taking parts from concept and design maturation through tooling, testing, verification, and launch.
• Working knowledge of 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for product definition, release, and lifecycle-data management.
• Experience developing or maintaining DFMEAs and managing design risk.
• Ability to interpret engineering drawings, specifications, and product requirements.
• Knowledge of exterior materials and processes, appearance requirements, tolerance stack-up, fit-and-finish, and production readiness.

Responsabilidades

• Develop and release exterior trim components, including A-surface parts, from concept selection through design maturation and production launch.
• Define component requirements, interfaces, packaging, attachment strategy, and design direction with cross-functional teams.
• Lead design reviews and supplier discussions; resolve issues affecting geometry, appearance, fit, function, cost, and timing.
• Prepare and review engineering deliverables, including drawings, models, specifications, and design-release data.
• Lead tooling kick-off and follow tooling progress through design reviews, tool trials, part inspections, and corrective actions.
• Plan and coordinate component testing, verification, and validation; track results and drive resolution of test failures.
• Develop and maintain DFMEAs, identify design risks, and ensure mitigations are reflected in the product definition and validation plan.
• Support build events, manufacturing readiness, issue resolution, and launch activities.
• Manage interfaces with adjacent systems such as body structure, lighting, sealing, closures, and other exterior components.
