About the Role
We are seeking an enthusiastic, detail-oriented Jr. Design Release Engineer (DRE) – Interior Preprogram Development to join our team in shaping the next generation of vehicle interiors.
In this role, you will work closely with Senior Preprogram Engineers, Design Studio teams, and Tier-1 suppliers during the early phases of vehicle development (Pre-Concept through Program Approval). You will assist in evaluating spatial packaging feasibility, running CAD section checks, tracking interior system deliverables, and supporting the technical development of interior components such as instrument panels, center consoles, door trim, hard/soft trim, and seating systems.

Key Responsibilities
• Packaging & Feasibility Support: Assist lead engineers in conducting CAD packaging studies, clearance/interference checks, and cross-section analysis in CATIA or NX to support early interior design concepts.
• Design Studio Collaboration: Help bridge the gap between studio styling and engineering feasibility by evaluating 3D surface models for draft angles, wall thickness, manufacturability,



and ergonomics.
• Supplier & Tooling Assistance: Support interactions with Tier-1 interior suppliers during early feasibility reviews; collect, track, and document supplier DFM feedback and technical proposals.
• Cross-Functional Coordination: Collaborate with adjacent engineering teams (Safety, NVH, Climate Control, Electrical, Ergonomics) to gather requirements and track pre-program open issues.
• BOM & Target Tracking: Assist in auditing early Bill of Materials (BOM), mass/weight roll-ups, cost targets, and engineering change requests for pre-production vehicle variants.
• Documentation & Hand-Off: Maintain pre-program documentation, including draft DFMEAs, boundary diagrams, and packaging decks to ensure smooth hand-off to production release teams.

Qualifications & Skill Requirements
• Education: Bachelor’s Degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, Plastics Engine
