Must Have Technical/Functional Skills
• Own CAD design of closure systems and components in Siemens NX / Teamcenter (or equivalent), including
skins, inner panels, reinforcements, hardware interfaces, seals, glazing, and brackets.
• Develop and maintain master sections and detailed engineering criteria for closures (hemming, gaps &
flushness, sealing, latch/hinge axes, load paths, drain paths, etc.).
• Perform styling feasibility for closure surfaces, proposing design solutions that balance aesthetic intent with
engineering, manufacturing, and regulatory constraints.
• Ensure designs meet manufacturability and stamping requirements (thickness, draw direction, splits,
springback risk, joining strategy) by working closely with stamping/tooling and plant teams.
• Define and maintain robust joining and attachment strategies (spot welds, SPR, FDS, structural adhesives,
bolts, clips, weld nuts, sealers) to achieve structural, durability, and quality targets.
• Coordinate virtual build and design integration activities (clashes, clearances, packaging of
hinges/latches/strikers, sensors, wiring, and sealing) across Closures, Upper Structure, Exterior, and adjacent
systems.
• Support virtual validation / CAE by delivering analysis ready math, incorporating CAE feedback into design
updates, and iterating to close issues (stiffness, modal, crash load paths, abuse load cases, etc.).
• Closure hardware integration (hinges, latches, strikers, checks, bumpers, seals, glass, regulators).
• Stamping & hemming processes and their impact on design.
• Gap & flush, fit & finish, and dimensional robustness.
• Regulatory and safety considerations affecting closures (e.g., impact zones, intrusion, corrosion/drainage).
Roles & Responsibilities
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align designs with product requirements
• Conduct prototyping, testing, and validation of closure designs
• Use CAD and simulation tools to optimize closure performance.
• Ensure compliance with industry standards, safety regulations, best practices, and sustainability goals.
• Provide technical documentation and design specifications.
Generic Managerial Skills, If any
• Good communication, presentation skills
• Good communication with cross-functional stakeholders.
