Now design a restraint system that protects all occupants to NCAP 5-star performance levels in that environment.\nIn this role, you will own the design, integration, release, and launch. This is a module role-you will be responsible for delivering a complete, system-level solution, ensuring driver airbags, steering wheel interfaces, and vehicle architecture work together to meet ergonomics, electronics, safety, packaging, and manufacturing targets.\nWe are redefining vehicle safety for autonomous mobility. For this job, you will be working on a drivable concept of the autonomous vehicle.\nResponsibilities:\nLead the integration of Driver airbag, steering wheel, Horn & Steering wheel switches, ensuring alignment across packaging, safety, and manufacturing constraints.\nDrive cross-functional alignment with Interiors, Steering, Electronics, Safety, and Manufacturing teams to deliver a cohesive system solution.\nDefine and manage interfaces between airbag module, steering wheel switches, clockspring, and column electronics, ensuring robust electrical and mechanical integration. Develop Sub System technical specification for all components in the module.\nUse CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) to drive packaging, integration, and release of components and assemblies.\nManage engineering change control, issue tracking, and program execution through JIRA (or equivalent tools).\nOwn system-level trade-offs across performance, cost, manufacturability, and serviceability.\nLead validation strategy and execution for driver airbag & steering wheel, including DVP&R, test planning, and data-driven decision making.\nDrive issue resolution across design, validation, and manufacturing phases, including supplier escalation when required.\nEnsure readiness for production through DFMEA, PFMEA support, and launch execution.\nQualifications:\nBS/MS in Mechanical Engineering or related field.\n4+ years of experience in automotive restraint systems, with direct ownership of driver airbag and/or steering wheel systems.\nStrong experience with steering wheel integration, airbag modules, and associated components (clockspring, switches, column interfaces).\nWorking knowledge of electronics integration (switches, harnessing, signal interfaces) within steering systems.\nProven experience using CATIA 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) for design, packaging, and release.\nExperience with JIRA (or similar tools) for issue tracking, change management, and program execution.\nProven experience working with Tier 1 suppliers (e.g., Autoliv, ZF, Joyson, Toyoda Gosei) and managing technical deliverables.\nStrong understanding of DFMEA, DVP&R, and full vehicle development lifecycle.\nExperience with GD&T, tolerance stack-ups, and Design for Manufacturing (DFM).\nDemonstrated ability to lead cross-functional programs and drive decisions under ambiguity.\nBenefits\nHealth Care Plan (Medical, Dental & Vision)\nLife Insurance (Basic, Voluntary & AD&D)\nPaid Time Off (Vacation, Sick & Public Holidays)\nTraining & Development\nRetirement Plan
