Position Overview
We are seeking a
Jr.
Design & Release Engineer (DRE)
specializing in
Front Structure Closures
to support the design, development, packaging, and release of vehicle front-end closure assemblies.
In this hybrid role, you will assist in managing component lifecycles for front-end closure systems, including hoods/bonnets, hood latching mechanisms, hinges, front structural reinforcement interfaces, and crash-box/crumple-zone packaging.
You will collaborate closely with senior DREs, CAE simulation engineers, manufacturing plant personnel, and Tier-1 suppliers to ensure components meet structural rigidity, pedestrian protection safety standards, and assembly feasibility.
Key Responsibilities
CAD Modeling & Packaging:
Support 3D CAD modeling, component design updates, packaging studies, and clearance evaluations for front closure assemblies and structural interfaces in Siemens NX or CATIA V5/3DEXPERIENCE.
Component Release & Change Management:
Assist in creating, routing, and releasing Design Change Notices (DCN/ECN),



updating Bills of Materials (BOM), and maintaining revision control throughout the product development lifecycle.
Front Structural Integration:
Work on the interface between moving closure panels (hood) and fixed front-end structural members (aprons, shock towers, radiator core supports, and bumper beams).
Engineering Standards Application:
Apply basic to intermediate Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T;) principles, conduct 2D/3D tolerance stack-up checks, and assist in updating DFMEA documents.
Validation & Testing Support:
Support physical prototype builds, vehicle assembly trial runs, and CAE validation feedback loop evaluations (modal, durability, hood flutter, and pedestrian impact testing).
Cross-Functional Communication:
Work alongside Stamping, Tooling, BIW Assembly, and Quality teams to verify basic Design for Manufacturing and Assembly (DFMA) guidelines.
