position summary

we are seeking a detail-oriented and motivated junior design release engineer (dre) – chassis suspension to join our engineering team. In this role, you will support the end-to-end design, development, validation, and release of chassis suspension components and assemblies (e.g., control arms, springs, dampers, bushings, sway bars, and knuckles).

this is a remote position based in mexico, but it requires flexibility to travel to plant sites and engineering centers in saltillo, toluca, or santa fe (cdmx) for cross-functional alignment, build support, and supplier coordination.

key responsibilities

- component release: assist in managing the cad modeling, drafting standards, and release process (bom maintenance, engineering changes, and part release) within plm systems (e.g., teamcenter, enovia).
- design & development: work with senior engineers and suppliers to evaluate suspension components for packaging, durability, nvh (noise, vibration, and harshness), clearance, and serviceability.
- supplier & assembly support: coordinate with tier-1 suppliers and local manufacturing facilities in saltillo, toluca, or santa fe to resolve build issues, design discrepancies, and quality concerns.
- testing & validation: support the development of dvp&r; (design verification plan and report) and monitor component testing (bench, rig, and vehicle-level).
- root cause analysis: participate in 8d, dfmea,



and quality investigations to address manufacturing or field issues related to chassis components.
- cross-functional collaboration: partner with purchasing, quality, vehicle integration, and plant launch teams to ensure components meet timing, cost, and weight targets.

qualifications & requirements

- education: bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, automotive engineering, mechatronics, or a related field.
- experience: 1–3 years of experience in automotive product engineering, specifically within chassis, suspension, or mechanical component design (internships/co-ops considered).
- technical skills:
- basic proficiency in 3d cad modeling software (e.g., catia v5/v6, nx, or solidworks).
- fundamental understanding of suspension kinematics, gd&t; (geometric dimensioning & tolerancing), and manufacturing processes (casting, forging, stamping).
- familiarity with plm systems and engineering change management processes.
- languages: business fluency in spanish and professional working proficiency in english (written and verbal).
- travel: willingness and ability to travel to saltillo, toluca, or santa fe (cdmx) as required by project milestones and launch activities.

preferred qualifications

- knowledge of automotive industry standards (iatf 16949, iso/ts).
- experience participating in launch support or assembly plant environments in mexico.
- exposure to finite element analysis (fea) interpretation or multibody dynamics tools.
