Mechanical Design Engineer

Are you looking to work for a company that provides an innovative work environment, and your voice is heard?
We are looking for multiple Mechanical Design Engineers to work on Instrument Clusters and HUD in Guadalajara Mexico. The Design Engineer will have full responsibility through conceptual to test. The Design Engineer will also need to have experience for thermal analysis and CAE.

- Support the lead engineers in design of the automotive instrument clusters (IPC) and head-up displays (HUDs), creation of 3D Models and 2D drawings including GD&T for all structural components considering DFM/DFA factors and assembly drawings, cost, material & component specifications, and other design factors.
- Maintain open issues related to design developments during various stages of the development phase and develop contingency plans as needed.
- Conduct optical design and simulation using light simulation software.
- Conduct engineering calculation, stack-up analysis as parts of design development deliverables.
- Ensures accurate meeting minutes are recorded and tracked for all customer related meetings
- Conduct structural, thermal, and dynamic analysis using FEA, Lighting analysis using Light Simulation software, optical design and simulation using internally developed analytical tools and Light Simulation Software
- Post Development: Provide technical/design support during the pre-production phase (PV testing, root-cause analysis, 5-Phase report preparation), during production preparation phase (Quality, Assembly, Process related areas).
- Provide technical/design support to assembly plants, suppliers related to quality, design related aspects.
- Execute customer design changes and reflect to internal design deliverables, and documentation.
- Interface with customer to understand design requirements during the design specification/styling development, and product development phases. Compile specification confirmation reports prior to the development.
- Support the lead engineer in the development of conceptual design, bill of materials (BOM), design feasibility studies for the RFQ response and technical presentation.
- Responsible for the development of DFMEA, DVP, failure analysis/5-Phase report creation.
- Participate in-vehicle checks at customer location during pre-production phases to evaluate the design integrity of Products and to Identify design flaws or issues and compile summary report.
- Perform benchmark analysis, attend trade shows (NAIAS) and compile market trend analysis of IPC/ HUD Products
- Assist in the prototype development during the build trials.
- Assist manufacturing plants, quality teams in resolving technical, manufacturing, quality issues.
- Assist in the testing & evaluation of IPC/HUD Products as required.
- Prepare technical documents in support of the quality gate assessment meetings with headquarters.
