Job Summary

We are seeking a proactive and results-driven Design Release Engineer (DRE) – HVAC Airflow Loop to lead the end-to-end design, packaging, validation, and release of vehicle cabin air distribution systems. In this role, you will be responsible for the complete airflow path—from the fresh air intake, blower assembly, and HVAC air distribution housing (HVAC unit/case), down through ducting networks, mode doors/actuators, and cabin air registers.

You will ensure optimal cabin thermal comfort, defrost/demist performance, low acoustic noise (NVH), and high energy efficiency for both traditional Internal Combustion Engine (ICE) vehicles and Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs), where HVAC efficiency directly impacts vehicle driving range.

Key Responsibilities1. Airflow Loop Design & Packaging Integration

Lead the mechanical design, CAD packaging, and surface routing of cabin HVAC ductwork (defrost, face, floor, rear seat/console, and battery-assisted cabin loops), registers, and fresh/recirculation air intakes.
Work closely with Interior Trim, Instrument Panel (IP), Cockpit,



and Structural Engineering teams to ensure tight packaging feasibility, ergonomic register placement, and robust mounting interfaces.
Optimize air distribution geometry to minimize pressure drop, air leakage, flow restriction, and wind noise/turbulence (NVH).
Apply Design for Manufacturability and Assembly (DFMA) to ensure easy assembly plant installation and serviceability.

2. Validation, Testing & Performance Optimization

Define and execute the Design Verification Plan and Report (DVP&R;) for HVAC airflow components, including air volume distribution (CFM), defrost/demist time compliance, thermal comfort index, air-leakage rates, and acoustic testing.
Collaborate with Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) engineers to analyze internal flow paths, velocity profiles, and door kinematics; translate simulation results into CAD design improvements.
Support climate wind tunnel testing, cabin pull
