Opportunity for Design Engineer Closures (Mechanism)

Required Qualifications & Skills

Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical / Automotive Engineering or related fields.

4 to 8 years experience in designing automotive closure systems (latches, regulators, handles, etc.).

Expertise in CAD (e.g., CATIA V5 / SolidWorks) and detailed engineering analysis.

Knowledge of automotive manufacturing processes, validation, and simulation tools.

Strong analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.

Responsibilities :

Design and develop vehicle closure mechanisms including latches, window regulators, check straps, outer door handles, locks, and their related kinematics using CAD software (typically CATIA).

Collaborate with cross-functional teams across engineering, manufacturing, studio design, quality, and customer experience.

Evaluate, test, and validate designs through simulation and physical prototypes, ensuring robust function, manufacturability, safety, and durability.

Release components and manage the full lifecycle from concept, architecture, supplier engagement, BOM management, and production support.

Ensure compliance with automotive industry standards and regulations for closure mechanisms.

Participate in design reviews, technical feedback loops, and lead collaborative development efforts across teams.

Mentor junior engineers and create best-practices documentation or process improvement initiatives.
