Req. VR-124434
Automotive. German OEM. The project is responsible for cross-brand platform capabilities and foundational technologies in the field of vehicle electronics and softwar. Ensure the development of electric and electronic hardware solutions with wellbalanced performance steps, delivering with quality and with modular scalability to support the transition to platform all company brands
Expert in 3D design and digital product development using CATIA (or comparable CAD tools), responsible for creating, managing, and optimizing mechanical and electromechanical designs as well as installation concepts in a 3D environment (e.g., ECUs, harness integration, packaging).
Create and maintain 3D models and assemblies for components and systems (e.g.,
ECUs, housings, brackets, harness routing).
Ensure correct packaging and installation within the overall product/vehicle
architecture:
space allocation, collision-free design, mounting concepts
consideration of thermal, mechanical, and environmental constraints
Define and implement design rules and modelling standards to ensure consistency
and quality.
Support integration of electrical and electronic components (e.g., HW, harness,
connectors) into the mechanical environment.
Perform:
clash/clearance analyses
tolerance analyses (dimension chains, variability)
Enable manufacturability:
support design for manufacturing (DFM), assembly (DFA), and serviceability
Maintain data quality in PLM/PDM systems (structure, versioning, release).
Support change management (ECR/ECO) by updating models and ensuring
consistency across assemblies.
Collaborate closely with:
HW design, harness design, system engineering, and manufacturing
Provide 3D data and documentation for:
simulation, validation, and supplier interfaces
Must have
Expert-level proficiency in CATIA (or comparable CAD tools), including: o 3D modeling (parts, assemblies) o surface and solid design
kinematics and installation studies
Strong understanding of: o mechanical design principles (materials, tolerances, fastening methods) o packaging and integration in complex systems (e.g., vehicle environment)
Ability to: o interpret system and architectural requirements and translate them into 3D designs o perform and evaluate clash, clearance, and tolerance analyses
Knowledge of: o manufacturing processes (injection molding, machining, sheet metal, etc.)
integration of electrical/electronic components (ECUs, connectors, harness routing)
Competence in: o data management in PLM/PDM systems o applying CAD standards, naming conventions, and release processes
Analytical and structured problem-solving skills, especially for integration conflicts
Nice to have
Collaboration competence in cross-functional teams (mechanical, electrical, system, suppliers)
