Position Summary
We are seeking an experienced Mid-Level Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Chassis Tires & Wheels to own the end-to-end integration, engineering release, and validation of wheel assemblies, tires, valves, wheel nuts/bolts, and associated corner hardware. In this role, you will balance dynamic performance (handling, rolling resistance, NVH, wear) with structural durability, manufacturing feasibility, and styling requirements.
This position operates remotely within Mexico, but requires active travel to manufacturing plants and technical centers in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe (CDMX) to support vehicle line builds, supplier alignment, homologation, and assembly plant quality tracking.
Key Responsibilities
- Product Engineering & CAD Ownership: Lead the design integration and engineering release of alloy/steel wheels, tires (OE spec), and mounting hardware in PLM/BOM systems (e.g., Teamcenter, Enovia).
- System Integration & Clearance: Perform packaging studies and clearance verifications (suspension envelope, brake caliper clearances, wheel well/fender liner sweeps,



full jounce/rebound/steer conditions).
- Supplier Management: Direct Tier-1 wheel and tire suppliers through tooling development, styling feasibility, force variation testing, uniformity metrics, and PPAP approvals.
- Vehicle Performance & Homologation: Partner with dynamic vehicle attributes, NVH, and braking teams to select tire compounds/treads and wheel offsets. Support regulatory homologation (FMVSS/NOM/ECE), rim load ratings, and speed/load rating compliance.
- Testing & Validation: Author, track, and execute DVP&R; for wheel structural durability (radial fatigue, cornering fatigue, 13-degree impact tests) and tire performance testing (rolling resistance, treadwear, snow/wet traction).
- Plant & Launch Execution: Provide on-site engineering support at plants in Saltillo, Toluca, or Santa Fe during pre-production builds to resolve runout, balance, tire mounting, and torque/auditing issues
