Project Description:

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer to support the development of automotive components, with a focus on 3D modeling, surface design, mechanical part design, and product integration. The adecuado candidate will have experience with CATIA V5, geometric dimensioning and tolerancing (GD&T;), and mechanical design principles, preferably within the automotive industry.

Responsibilities:

- Analyze customer specifications, technical requirements, and applicable engineering standards.
- Lead the 3D design and development of mechanical components and assemblies using CATIA V5, including Generative Shape Design (GSD) and Part Design.
- Develop and optimize plastic components, ensuring feasibility for injection molding and manufacturing.
- Create and validate 2D engineering drawings in accordance with applicable standards.
- Perform GD&T; analysis according to ASME Y14.5 and conduct tolerance stack-up studies.
- Evaluate design feasibility considering assembly, tooling, manufacturing processes, finishing, and product integration.
- Perform or support structural, modal, and preliminary thermal analyses as required.
- Collaborate with optical, electronic, manufacturing, quality, and project teams to ensure product integration.
- Prepare technical justifications, design reviews, and engineering documentation.
- Identify technical risks, propose design solutions, and drive resolution of complex engineering issues.




- Mentor junior engineers and provide technical guidance to the design team.
- Ensure deliverables meet customer expectations, quality standards, and project milestones.

Mandatory Skills Description:

- Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics, Industrial Engineering, or a related field.
- 5+ years of experience in mechanical design, preferably in the automotive industry.
- Advanced proficiency in CATIA V5, particularly Generative Shape Design (GSD) and Part Design for plastic components.
- Strong knowledge of GD&T; in accordance with ASME Y14.5 and tolerance stack-up analysis.
- Ability to analyze technical requirements, solve engineering problems, and deliver design solutions within project timelines.
- Knowledge of plastic injection molding, mold design, assembly tolerances, and finishing processes such as metallization, aluminization, and coatings.
- Familiarity with Finite Element Analysis (FEA), including static and modal analysis.
- Basic understanding of thermal and optical analysis.
- Experience supporting product validation activities, including Design Validation (DV), Product Validation (PV), leak testing, vibration testing, and thermal cycling.
- Experience designing automotive lighting components.
- Familiarity with FMVSS and ECE automotive lighting requirements
