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.
