Mechanical Design Engineer (CATIA V5)

We are looking for a Mechanical Design Engineer with strong, hands-on experience in CATIA V5 to develop mechanical and electromechanical components for automotive electronics products.You will take ownership of mechanical design from concept development through detailed design, validation and production release. Products include Body Control Modules, Zone Controllers, Door Control Modules, Telematics Modules, High Performance Computing Units and Seat Control Units.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design and develop mechanical and electromechanical components using CATIA V5, including 3D modelling, assemblies and detailed 2D drawings.
• Develop plastic injection-moulded and stamped metal parts to meet automotive specifications, product requirements and manufacturing needs.
• Prepare and maintain customer, manufacturing and supplier drawings in accordance with applicable international standards and customer requirements.
• Apply Geometric Dimensioning and Tolerancing (GD&T) and conduct tolerance stack-up analyses to ensure assembly fit and product function.
• Perform structural engineering calculations and verify designs through prototype evaluation and engineering testing.
• Work with local and international suppliers from concept development through tooling, sample evaluation and part release.
• Collaborate with cross-functional and global engineering teams to resolve design, assembly and manufacturing issues.
• Develop design concepts and assess mechanical feasibility for new projects and business opportunities.
• Maintain technical product documentation throughout the product lifecycle, including drawings, specifications and variant configurations.
• Manage engineering changes, including Engineering Change Notices (ECNs), drawing revisions and implementation tracking.

Requirements:

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering or a related discipline.
• At least 3 years of relevant mechanical design experience.
• Strong, hands-on CATIA V5 experience is essential, including part design, assembly design and drafting.
• Practical experience designing plastic injection-moulded and metal stamped components.
• Good understanding of GD&T, engineering drawings and tolerance stack-up analysis.
• Knowledge of manufacturing processes, material selection and design for manufacturability and assembly.
• Ability to perform engineering calculations and support design verification through testing.
• Strong attention to detail, problem-solving skills and the ability to manage competing deadlines.
• Ability to explain technical concepts clearly and participate in technical discussions with international teams and suppliers.

Preferred Experience:

• Mechanical design experience in automotive electronics or electronic enclosures.
• Familiarity with automotive development processes, customer specifications and engineering change management.
• Knowledge of quality and risk assessment tools such as DFMEA, DRBFM, FTA, Six Sigma or A3 problem-solving.
