What To Expect
The New Programs Engineering Prototype team works at the front-end of vehicle design and development by creating early prototype vehicles for teams to quickly evaluate risks early in program lifecycle. This is a mechanical integration role that will focus on taking varying scope prototype projects from design through the build process. This role requires a holistic understanding of vehicle systems to interact with cross-functional teams throughout various design and engineering groups to create functional prototypes.
What You'll Do
Manage top-level product CAD and BOM, use best practices for ensuring CAD completeness and compatibility, and support release processLead integration reviews, mediate packaging constraints to ensure design solutions are aligned with prototype vehicle attribute targetsManage build phase of prototype vehicles including creation of build timeline, overview of build process, and ensuring build documentation in placeIdentify the need for and design tooling to support prototype vehicle buildsSupport fabricators and technicians to triage and resolve issues during prototype vehicle builds
What You'll Bring
Bachelor's Degree in Mechanical Engineering, or equivalent experienceProven problem solving and strong communication skills Effectively handle multiple priorities, organize workloads, and meet tight delivery timelinesDetail-oriented personality with effective documentation and reporting skillsExtensive understanding of design principles that support functional product systems designKnowledgeable in part and large assembly fabrication and manufacturing processesOutstanding design, packaging, and 3D modeling skills; CATIA experience is an advantage
