  • Drive the sourcing process by evaluating supplier technical capabilities and managing technical reviews (DFMEA/PFMEA).

  • Optimize the chassis for "Skateboard" architecture, ensuring seamless integration of the e-axle and battery modules.

Qualifications
  • B.S. or M.S. in Mechanical Engineering.

  • 8+ years of automotive experience, specifically in chassis, frames, or body-in-white (BIW).

  • Expert-level mastery of CATIA V6 (3DEXPERIENCE) and PLM systems (Enovia/Teamcenter).

  • Proven track record of taking complex mechanical systems from "blank page" concept through Start of Production (SOP).

  • Deep knowledge of automotive materials (High-Strength Steels, Aluminum) and joining methods (MIG welding, SPR, structural adhesives).

Key Benefits & Perks: Comprehensive Health, Dental & Vision (HDV) – 100% employee covered Early-stage Stock Options Robust Retirement Savings (401k, HSA, FSA) Generous Paid Time Off (PTO) & Parental Leave Annual Vacation Bonus Wellness & Fertility Benefits Cell Phone Stipend Complimentary Meals & Stocked Kitchens
