Beyond providing competitive salaries, we’re providing a community for innovators who want to make an immediate and significant impact. If you are driven to create a better, more sustainable future, then this is the right place for you.

As a Sr. Dimensional Engineer, DFM/BiW, you will be involved in complete model launch phase – from product design development, manufacturing specification development, tooling & equipment development to line commissioning and SOP. The role requires deep understanding of Body product design, GD&T, and manufacturing processes. This role requires to develop the build plan of a product from the ground up based on manufacturing process feasibility and best dimensional quality. Role will also require hands on involvement for product assembly & tooling measurements, troubleshooting and certification. This role requires to work in cross functional team environment with a strong influential ability to drive product design build based on best manufacturing practices for body accuracy.


You Will:

• Develop / architect body build sequence based on manufacturing process size scope, body dimensional accuracy, process variation
• Develop / architect body assembly datum strategy based on efficient & flexible assembly tooling design and body dimensional accuracy control
• Lead Product DFM, Simultaneous Engineering activities and support NPI – design feasibility, dimensional & body accuracy feasibility, body sequencing, tooling design
• Work with Product Engineering for DFM related product design changes
• Develop Manufacturing based variation analysis models and align with product design variation analysis to meet design requirements based on manufacturing reality
• Align body equipment PLP and part / assembly level GD&Ts and develop Body dimensional control points to ensure closed loop dimensional traceability
• Lead & Manage Prototype builds and New Model Launch Body Dimensional accuracy plan
• Analyze, troubleshoot and develop control plan to meet body dimensional metrics and contain variation  
• Coordinate with Metrology to manage measurement, inspection and verification work flow for prototype and product launch / commissioning builds
• Hands on involvement – participate and buy-off on Fixture/tooling part fitting, fixture certification, product assembly measurements and certification
• Lead dimensional build activities during tooling try outs at launch to achieve stable, repeatable and in dimensional spec body prior to SOP
• Coordinate with Supply Chain, Supplier Quality, Stamping & NPI team for feedback loop for stampings, extrusions, castings, etc.
• Collaborate with product and manufacturing engineering on new manufacturing process research and development
• Participate in new manufacturing process specification development, assembly tooling design reviews and buy-offs
• Develop assembly fixture, ACP / PCF fixture specifications and manage procurement for model launch programs
• Work with Quality Engineering team to problem solve and improve overall product quality with dimensional body accuracy focus
• Support stamping gage / check fixtures Buy-off  
• Support PPAP process as needed from supplier parts
• Develop Facility Specifications & Bid Documentation and participate in facility (building) and process equipment RFQ process
• Assist Manufacturing Engineering & NPI team in coordinating & tracking Product Release and engineering changes
• Knowledge of latest innovations in manufacturing engineering and applications
• Maintain strong relationships with other company groups (Product Design, Production Engineering, Studio Engineering, Metrology, Supply Chain, Supplier Quality, etc) to progress BIW Manufacturing objectives

You Bring:

• Bachelors in Mechanical Engineering or related Field required
• 5+ years of professional experience required 
• Strong Interposal Skills with ability to Coordinate cross functional teams and deliver target initiatives
• Expert in GD&T
• Experience in Dimensional Variation A
