Development with passion. That's us. With an interdisciplinary team of around 9,000 experts, EDAG develops unique mobility and industrial solutions for customers that include the world's leading automotive and non-automotive companies. This is how you will grow: Designs, engineers, and releases production-ready components and structures that integrate the client's next-generation SDS-G sensor and compute suite onto the Hyundai based platform, carrying forward the SDS-F architecture and re-engineering it as required for the new sensor generation. Package and integrate SDS components/modules within the vehicle, optimizing for sensor field of view, structure, and service/assembly access. Communicate and negotiate technical base-vehicle changes with OEM partner Hyundai, including structure, trim, electrical, and cleaning package interfaces. Engineer structural integration elements including roof pod, rear bumper/fascia, tailgate-mounted, fender pod, front bumper/fascia, front grill pod, and trunk/interior package structures, plus A-surface enclosures. Integrate SDS modules (camera, radar, lidar, audio), cleaning system components, thermal management provisions, driver monitoring system, and market-specific taxi meters. Manage issues in the client’s Buganizer system through to closure, and support DFMEA management and close-out. Own parts through successful Beta/PP/Production release, ensuring on-time delivery and conformance to component, system, and vehicle-level requirements. Lead DFM assessments appropriate to prototype methods of manufacture (e.g., PU-poured, machined-from-billet, or 3D-printed parts). Support incoming vehicle measurement, first point of contact for manufacturing, root cause analysis, 8D problem-solving, and corrective action proposals. Prepare and present engineering Change Requests (CRs) when Hyundai base-vehicle changes are required. Support Alpha DVP completion and author/own the Beta DVP, tracking validation tasks through to completion and documenting results. Collaborate with the client's CAE team by sharing geometry, materials, and specifications to support structural, thermal, and aero analysis (CAE itself is out of scope for the vendor). Collaborate with the client’s EDS team on harness routing and package space for service lengths. Requirements This is how you will take us forward: 5+ years of automotive design/release engineering experience, ideally in exterior trim, structures, or sensor integration. Proficiency in CATIA and experience releasing components through a PLM system (Enovia or equivalent). Experience taking components from concept through Alpha/Beta prototype builds to production release (PPAP). Working knowledge of DFM principles across casting, injection molding, 3D printing, and machined-prototype methods. Experience with supplier-facing design negotiation, DVP/DFMEA processes, and issue-tracking systems. #J-18808-Ljbffr CKGP/PW & Associates, Inc.
