Job Summary We are seeking an ambitious, detail-oriented Jr. Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Checking Fixtures to join our engineering team in Toluca . Operating under a hybrid work arrangement , you will be responsible for the technical release, GD&T; alignment, validation, and implementation of checking fixtures, go/no-go gauges, and CMM holding fixtures used for vehicle component dimensional quality control.
In this role, you will bridge the gap between Component Design Engineers, Stamping/Molding Suppliers, Tooling Vendors, and Assembly Plant Quality teams—ensuring that all dimensional inspection tools meet strict OEM standards, measurement repeatability (GR&R;), and production launch timelines.
Key Responsibilities 1. Fixture Design Review & CAD Release Review and approve 3D CAD models and 2D engineering drawings for checking fixtures, attributes gauges, and CMM holding fixtures provided by external tooling vendors.

Ensure fixture designs accurately reflect component GD&T; (Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing), datum schemes (PLP/RPS points), clamping sequences, and clearance envelopes.

Apply Design for Manufacturability and Ergonomics to ensure fixtures are lightweight, durable, easy to load, and safe for operator use on the plant floor.

2. Validation,



Quality & Gauge R&R; Testing Coordinate physical dimensional validation and buy-off of checking fixtures at vendor facilities and assembly plants.

Oversee Gauge Repeatability and Reproducibility (GR&R;) studies, CMM correlation studies, and bias/linearity analyses to ensure fixture measurement accuracy.

Support root cause analysis ( 8D, 5 Whys ) for dimensional discrepancies between fixture readings, CMM data, and physical component geometry.

3. Change Management & Release Documentation Manage technical documentation releases, including Fixture Build Specifications, Maintenance Manuals, CMM Inspection Reports, and Calibration Schedules.

Create and process Change Notices (CNs/ECNs) to update fixture geometry whenever component engineering changes occur.

Issue Tool Kick-Off (TKO) approvals, manage Source Package releases, and issue Interim Approval Authorizations (IAAs) for temporary quality gauges.

4. Supplier & Assembly Plant Support Serve as the primary technical contact between fixture suppliers, Component DREs, and Quality Engineers at local assembly plants (e.g., Toluca OEM facilities).

Perform on-site visits to tooling suppliers and assembly plants for fixture try-outs, pilot builds, and final sign-offs.
