Role: Engineer

Required Skills: Design

Qualification: BACHELOR OF COMPUTER SCIENCE

Experience: 6 - 10 Years

Function: TECHNOLOGY

Apply By: 2026-12-27

Must Have Technical/Functional Skills

• Own CAD design of closure systems and components in Siemens NX / Teamcenter (or equivalent), including

skins, inner panels, reinforcements, hardware interfaces, seals, glazing, and brackets.

• Develop and maintain master sections and detailed engineering criteria for closures (hemming, gaps &

flushness, sealing, latch/hinge axes, load paths, drain paths, etc.).

• Perform styling feasibility for closure surfaces, proposing design solutions that balance aesthetic intent with

engineering, manufacturing, and regulatory constraints.

• Ensure designs meet manufacturability and stamping requirements (thickness, draw direction, splits,

springback risk, joining strategy) by working closely with stamping/tooling and plant teams.

• Define and maintain robust joining and attachment strategies (spot welds, SPR, FDS, structural adhesives,

bolts, clips, weld nuts, sealers) to achieve structural, durability, and quality targets.

• Coordinate virtual build and design integration activities (clashes, clearances, packaging of

hinges/latches/strikers, sensors, wiring, and sealing) across Closures, Upper Structure, Exterior, and adjacent

systems.

• Support virtual validation / CAE by delivering analysis ready math, incorporating CAE feedback into design

updates, and iterating to close issues (stiffness, modal, crash load paths, abuse load cases, etc.).

• Closure hardware integration (hinges, latches, strikers, checks, bumpers, seals, glass, regulators).
• Stamping & hemming processes and their impact on design.
• Gap & flush, fit & finish, and dimensional robustness.
• Regulatory and safety considerations affecting closures (e.g., impact zones, intrusion, corrosion/drainage).

Roles & Responsibilities

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align designs with product requirements
• Conduct prototyping, testing, and validation of closure designs
• Use CAD and simulation tools to optimize closure performance.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, best practices, and sustainability goals.
• Provide technical documentation and design specifications.

Generic Managerial Skills, If any

• Good communication, presentation skills
• Good communication with cross-functional stakeholders.
