- Virtual integration: Develop virtual integration solutions that support program and vehicle requirements, analyzing data from individual parts through complete vehicle integration.
- Vehicle-level analysis: Interrogate virtual data, vehicle assembly structures, part design usage, and configuration requirements to identify integration issues and support technical decisions.
- Complex problem-solving: Address non-routine technical challenges involving complex components, subsystems, and broader vehicle integration requirements.
- Program support: Coordinate program and related activities under technical guidance, supporting timing, deliverables, and virtual design objectives.
- Collaboration and reviews: Work closely with engineers and designers, participate in design and virtual reviews, and support colleagues with component and integration activities.
- Communication: Proactively communicate project status, technical risks, timing concerns, and issues to relevant technical and program stakeholders.
- Continuous improvement: Share lessons learned, recommend improvements to engineering practices, stay current with relevant technologies, and actively pursue professional development.
Requirements:
- Education: Completed engineering degree or equivalent technical qualification.
- Automotive expertise: Working knowledge of seat development, particularly foam, plastic, and stamping components.
- CAD proficiency: Strong proficiency with NX and other relevant CAD tools.
- Data management: Knowledge of CAD and engineering data management systems, including PLM environments.
- Virtual design tools: Experience with VisMockup and the Windows Suite.
- Modeling knowledge: Strong understanding of standard modeling methods and maintaining math fidelity throughout the product development cycle.
- Virtual integration: Solid knowledge of virtual integration principles, practices, procedures, and methodologies.
- Technical problem-solving: Ability to independently analyze and resolve complex, non-routine technical problems involving components, subsystems, and vehicle integration.
- Design for manufacturing: Understanding of manufacturability, Design for Assembly, and product integration principles.
- Collaboration: Ability to work effectively with engineers, designers, technical leaders, and cross-functional stakeholders.
- Communication: Clear and proactive communication skills, particularly when discussing technical risks, project status, priorities, and delivery timelines.
- Autonomy and judgment: Ability to work independently while knowing when to seek technical guidance and demonstrating sound technical judgment.
- Organization: Ability to manage competing priorities and consistently meet program schedules and technical deliverables.
- English: Intermediate English proficiency or higher.
Benefits:
- Full-time employment in a hybrid work model.
- On-site collaboration three days per week, Tuesday through Thursday, in São Caetano do Sul, São Paulo.
- Opportunity to work on complex automotive product development and vehicle integration projects.
- Exposure to advanced CAD, virtual design, modeling, and digital vehicle integration practices.
- Collaboration with multidisciplinary engineering and design teams.
- Opportunities for continuous learning, technical development, and professional growth.
- Inclusive working environment focused on equal opportunity, collaboration, and belonging.
- Opportunity to contribute to large-scale mobility projects focused on safer, more sustainable, and innovative transportation.
- Potential access to company-specific benefits and employment conditions according to the partner's local benefits package.
