Exterior Systems Launch Engineer
The Launch Engineer for Exterior Systems is responsible for the technical issue resolution, maturation, validation, and production readiness of high-visibility exterior components. This role focuses on taking parts from the initial off-tool stage through to final production sign-off. You will apply first principles of mechanical engineering to root-cause complex launch issues, coordinate technical solutions with suppliers, cross-functional teams and ensure all systems - including Fascias, Lighting, Trim, and Active Aerodynamics - meet stringent quality and performance standards.
Root Cause Analysis: Lead the investigation of open launch issues, applying data-based RCA to develop solutions that balance performance, quality, cost, and program timing.
Production Maturation: Manage the maturation of systems, including Exterior Trims, Fascias, Headlamps, GOR (Grille Opening Reinforcement), and AGS (Active Grille Shutter).
On-Site Collaboration: Work closely with manufacturing partners and suppliers at the prototype office, plant or supplier sites to validate solution feasibility through prototype trials and pilot builds.
Technical Validation: Oversee testing and validation of exterior systems to ensure they enable vehicle functionality and meet customer satisfaction targets.
S. in Mechanical Engineering or a related engineering discipline.
Experience: 3+ years of experience in automotive engineering, specifically focused on vehicle launch, production maturation, or manufacturing engineering.
Strong understanding of Exterior Systems (Fascias, Trim, Headlamps, AGS, or Wiper/Washer systems) and their manufacturing processes (e.g., injection molding, assembly, painting).
Proven expertise in Root Cause Analysis (RCA) methods (e.g., 8D, 5-Why, Fishbone) to resolve complex mechanical and fit-and-finish issues.
CAD Skills: Proficiency in CAD software (3DX/CATIA preferred) for the purpose of design interrogation, package review, and proposing engineering solutions.
Excellent ability to lead cross-functional meetings between Tier-1 suppliers, cross-functional engineering teams and Assembly Plant personnel.
