Description • Develop exterior trim part models from early concepts through detailed design maturation • Create and refine A-surface and engineering surfaces while maintaining design intent and downstream manufacturability? • Define part geometry, interfaces, attachment features, locating schemes, and datum structures? • Apply GD&T and support tolerance stack-up reviews to achieve fit, function, and assembly targets? • Collaborate with DREs, styling, manufacturing, suppliers, quality, and tooling teams to resolve design issues? • Apply DFM principles and incorporate feedback from toolmakers and manufacturing engineers? • Support design reviews, prototype builds, tool reviews, part inspections, and engineering changes? • Maintain accurate models, drawings, and product data in 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX)? Requirements • Bachelor's degree in Engineering. • Automotive exterior trim design experience from concept through design maturation? • Hands-on experience with A-surface part modeling and production-intent product definition • Working knowledge of GD&T, datum schemes, locating strategy, and tolerance stack-up • Experience applying DFM principles to automotive components? • Proficiency with 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) and relevant CAD modeling workflows? • Additional relevant skills: Class-A surface requirements, styling-to-engineering surface transition, and surface quality checks; injection molding and other relevant trim processes (draft, wall thickness, ribs, bosses, clips, shutoffs, undercuts); material selection, shrinkage, warpage, sink, read-through, and appearance considerations; digital mock-up, packaging, assembly access, serviceability, and adjacent-part interfaces; engineering change control, design reviews, and supplier collaboration? • Location: Dearborn Michigan or Long Beach California • English (C1-C2) • 6 months contract
