Lead/Senior CAD Engineer, Body Structures
The team may also be asked to lead and/or support innovation projects. The Lead/Senior Engineer, Body Structures is responsible for technical delivery to cost, quality & time for tasks and activities assigned to them by their module team line manager. Note that any engineer may be asked to work in a non-core module area as project needs dictate. The successful candidate therefore should be able to demonstrate a flexible approach.
The Grade 3, PE CAD Engineer for this role will ideally be able to demonstrate relevant engineering experience, gained from working on module area systems design & development, from concept to production.
Candidate requirements include:
1. Degree qualified or similar qualification as a minimum.
2. CAD operation skills required – Expectation for engineer to be able to create and manipulate geometry for primary communication of concepts/schemes. (Expectation 90%-time utilisation for geometry generation)
3. Catia v5/v6 operative skills, to be able to demonstrate high technical competence – Generation of 3D geometry & sectional data. (Key module utilisation: Part design & Geometric Surface design)
4. Experience of using TCUA (Team Centre) & PLM preferable.
5. Engineering experience in delivery of the designated module systems in the automotive sector or similar industries.
6. Evidence of engineering skills, including ability to manage & resolve engineering issues.
7. Understands roles & needs of different client groups.
8. Evidence of working effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve results.
9. Compliance with company procedures & quality standards.
10. Involvement in process improvements.

14. Capable of overcoming cultural & inter-functional barriers.
15. A desire to strive for improvements to achieve high customer satisfaction.
Main Activities & Tasks:
1. Support the Lead Engineer, Body & Closures in all day-to-day activities.
2. Support other activities as required.
3. Engineering BoM development.
4. Cost/weight pack development.
5. Weight BoM management.
6. PMXU generation – Part identification in BoM for unique or carryover status.
7. DFMEA & DVP creation & maintenance.
8. Design surface (CAS) feasibility ‘FC' checks.
9. Provide feasibility advice & guidance.
10. Engineering hard-point generation.
11. Participate in cross-functional integration reviews for components & systems, considering technical application, form, function & harmonisation of the execution.
12. Develop timing plans.
13. Develop scope-of-work documents with key deliverables identified.
14. Drive closure of issues & establish the cost, weight & timing impacts.
15. Support the module deliverables through to the programme required gateway.
16. Development of engineering systems & quality systems.
17. Benchmarking of competitor vehicles & reporting of findings.
18. Support the generation/development of design rules & guidelines.
19. Deliver engineering project work for both parent company & 3rd party customers.
20. Interface with cross-functional teams (Package, Analysis, Manufacturing, DVA etc) & implement recommendations where appropriate to create a right first-time release.
21. Leading the development of the 3D and 2D models for closure & mechanism engineering.
22. Storing and releasing data into TCUA and PLM.
23. Support and development for automation in the generation of CAD of Multi Model Link Networks (also known as: Driver Model Networks or AVA Networks - Associative Vehicle Architecture/ Advanced Vehicle Architecture) – set-up demonstrations and roll out with the engineering team.
24. Support and development for the generation & standardisation of kinematic models in the Catia – set-up demonstrations and roll out with the engineering team.
