Job Description

What you'll be able to do:

  • Develop state of the art exterior lighting systems and product that meet studio aesthetic intent, and are compliant to global market regulatory requirements
  • Engineer and execute exterior lighting from concept design feasibility through to production launch
  • Guide cross functional integration of lighting systems with studio, vehicle engineering, electrical engineering, manufacturing and software teams to achieve technically feasible designs
  • Analyze, test and validation lighting system prototype and production designs from mechanical, electrical and optical perspective
  • Participate in the development process with architecture, planning, supplier chain, and supplier to optimize form, function, performance and cost
  • Define requirements, and specifications of exterior Lighting systems to achieve Vehicle attribute targets towards structure, mass, and performance


The minimum requirements we seek:
  • B.S. in Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering or a related field
  • 4+ years of experience in automotive lighting component and system engineering (OEM or Tier 1 level)
  • 4+ years of experience utilizing CAD (3DX, Catia, NX, ICEMSURF, or Alias) collaboratively, 3DX and CATIA preferred
  • 4+ years of experience in lighting systems design, development, release. Completed for one of more production launch cycles
  • 3+ years of experience in lighting systems design to global regulation requirements


Our preferred requirements:
  • Strong knowledge on homologation and photometric regulations (FMVSS 108, ECE R48, etc.) related to exterior lighting
  • Strong knowledge of optical system development process, experience with optical simulation with SPEOS/Lucid Shape and other equivalents
  • Successful execution of automotive lighting production programs, experience with full LED lighting systems preferred
  • Excellent understanding of lighting technologies including lightguides, light blades, auto aiming, levelling, adaptive forward lighting (AFS) systems, Adaptive driving beam (ADB), Laser, OLED, Matrix, DMD, etc.
  • Strong understanding of the materials and manufacturing processes such as stamping, injection molding, casting, composites, etching, PVD and other surface finishes
  • High level of expertise and proficiency with 3DX, Catia, or similar tools including drawing and modelling practices and methodologies
