Opportunity for Air Vent Kinematics Design Engineer

We are seeking a highly skilled Kinematics Design Engineer specializing in automotive air vent systems. The candidate should have hands-on experience in the design, development, and validation of air vent kinematics, with a strong focus on CAD modeling, mechanism simulation, and integration into the interior system using CATIA V5 / V6.

Lead the mechanical design and kinematics development of automotive air vents (rotary, toggle, ball-type, shutter systems)

Create and validate kinematic concepts for louvers, vanes, and control mechanisms

Perform 3D modeling and mechanism simulation using CATIA (DMU Kinematics module)

Ensure airflow functionality, tactile quality, and smooth actuation of mechanisms

Conduct packaging studies in coordination with IP and HVAC teams

Collaborate with Styling, HVAC, CAE, Tooling, and Supplier Quality teams

Define and execute DFMEA, DVP, and tolerance stack-up analysis

Interface with suppliers for manufacturing feasibility and design optimization

Support prototype builds, design validation, and production release

Expertise in CATIA V5 / V6, particularly in Part Design, Assembly Design, Surface Design, and DMU Kinematics

In-depth understanding of plastic and soft-touch materials, sliders, hinges, dampers,

Lead the mechanical design and kinematics development of automotive air vents

Ensure airflow functionality, tactile quality, and smooth actuation of mechanisms for Air vents.
