Position Description:
The Exterior Lighting Engineer is a multi-disciplinary technical authority responsible for the integrity evolution and in-house design ownership of lighting systems. As the department shifts toward Build-to-Print (BTP) models and AI-driven engineering this role is the primary driver of Client internal technical foundation. This position bridges the gap between mechanical electrical software and optical engineering. Whether focused on advanced development or application execution the engineer is the primary lead in ensuring that lighting technologies are not only robust and manufacturable but also developed using the most advanced digital transformation tools available. Group being core works on all exterior lighting and all programs. We support the Applications team across all projects. (Headlamps taillamps chmsl fog lamps license plate lamps etc.)
Skills Required:
Laboratory Product Development Electrical Engineering 3D Modeling Optical Engineering Injection Molding Design/build injection molds. Design Release Engineer 1. Laboratory Hands on diagnosis and root causing of lighting issues on warranty lamps. Ability to use basic hand tools to dissemble lamps & inspect for issues and test electronics. Use lab equipment such as microscope multimeter hand tools light power tools. 2. 3D Modeling Utilize CAD software such as Catia V5 to develop lighting CAD (concept fixtures & small lamps for build to print) 3. Optical Engineering Design optical systems for small lamps 4. Injection Molding Design for manufacturing utilizing knowledge of injection molding. When developing 3D CAD be capable of accounting for manufacturability 5. Design/build injection molds Design for manufacturing utilizing knowledge of injection molding. When developing 3D CAD be capable of accounting for manufacturability 6. Design Release Engineer As we are trying to do build to print lighting in house rather than teir 1 suppliers fully owned parts this engineer would need to have capability to manage program / D&R type of work as well to deliver and validate parts on a program timeline work with purchasing part number generation cost analysis weight analysis feasibility studies collaborate cross functionally to fit our parts within other commodities.
Experience Required:
Bachelors degree or higher in mechanical engineering or a related field. 5 years of experience in design development or launch of automotive lighting or similar components CAD Capable (such as CATIA 3DX Teamcenter) & familiarity with CAE tools and software. Benchmarking experience Integration and developing CAD studies to support and drive design improvements. Demonstrated ability to manage multiple issues effectively and efficiently Demonstrated ability to show initiative and prioritize workload. Ability to travel domestical and international. Proficient in MS Office apps such as Excel Word Power Point MS Teams and MS Azure SharePoint.
Experience Preferred:
Masters of Science in Engineering (Mechanical preferred). 7 years of experience Experience in design and release of Exterior Lighting Software literacy and mechatronics experience. Strong understanding of statistical analysis. 8D and 5Why corrective action and problem-solving skills. Experience with DFMEAs PFMEAs and SCCAFs Detailed understanding of materials manufacturing technologies and GD&T Ability to work in a fluid environment when overall vehicle targets size appearance and manufacturing location are not always known. Ability to solve complex system issues and deal with a variety of concrete variables in situations where only limited standardization exists. Effective oral and written communication skills. Ability to adapt your role to a variety of applications and issues as required.
Education Required:
Bachelors Degree
