Engineering designer

The Engineering Design team is seeking a highly capable engineer to join us as a key member responsible for engineering Door Systems components. This role involves developing components based on functional requirements and system architectures, encompassing a variety of side doors parts like outer and inner panels, brackets and door trim pars like, lower substrate, switch bezel, appliques, speakers, structures, and modules, along with their respective subcomponents and attachment features. Our department is committed to delivering innovative solutions efficiently, without compromising on feasibility or quality standards. This engineer will be instrumental in driving part function and design from the concept phase, through analysis, optimization, Design for Manufacturability (DFM), and ultimately into production. You will integrate, analyze, and refine these Seat components, both as standalone parts and within the overall vehicle package.
