Full Job Description
Job Description:
Support the design and modeling of Soft Trim components - carpets, dash insulators, and firewall insulators.
Assist in design reviews with the Global Technical Centre team under guidance from senior engineers.
Support packaging, manufacturing, and assembly feasibility studies for soft trim components, particularly injection molded and formed parts.
Help create Technical Data Sheets and DVP&R documentation for new components.
Assist in preparing DVPR/DFMEA documentation for trim components in coordination with suppliers and the design team.
Support CAD data finalization ahead of Step releases; assist with TKO packaging and clearance studies to confirm components meet specification.
Coordinate with the NVH/CAE team to support component target validation and functional requirement checks, especially for carpet and insulator systems.
Participate in design release/TKO sign-off activities under senior engineer supervision, helping track project timelines.
Support benchmarking studies as required.
Assist with supplier interactions, PLM activities, and CFT coordination, including tracking checklist approvals in PLM at project milestones.
Provide design support to analysis teams (Impact, Durability, and NVH) to help meet regulatory and test requirements.
Develop working knowledge of soft trim systems (carpets, insulators) and injection molding / thermoforming processes.
Preferred Education:
B.E./B.Tech in Mechanical, Automobile, Production, or Industrial Engineering
Preferred Experience:
Essential:
5 to 10 years of Product Design & development experience in automotive Soft Trim components (Carpets, Dash Insulator, Firewall Insulator); exposure to Hard Trim or Overhead Systems is a plus.
