  • Develop and maintain component timing plans and deliverables across the vehicle lifecycle.
  • Ensure design execution meets requirements for fit, finish, DFA, and DFM.
  • Balance imperatives such as cost, investment, mass, and performance.
  • Release all assigned components and approve validation plans and results.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

  • Lead cross-functional product development activities with:
    • Engineering partners: Engineering Design, Interior Restraints, adjacent Interior components, Body Systems, Electrical, HVAC, Cargo Management, and Overhead/Hard Trim component teams.
    • Non-engineering partners: Creative Design, Purchasing, Ergonomics, Manufacturing, Value-Added Assemblers, Quality, and Suppliers.
  • Resolve design, packaging, and ergonomic issues through data-driven trade-offs and structured problem solving.

Technical Leadership & Mentorship:

  • Successful launch of at least one vehicle as an Interior Systems DRE or Application Engineer.
  • Experience resolving ergonomic issues related to interior trim systems.
  • Experience creating DFMEAs and cascading them into PFMEAs.
  • Proficiency with GD&T to ensure compliance with interior trim fit and functional requirements.
  • Experience creating 3D-printed parts to develop and evaluate proposed concepts.

Preferred Qualifications:

  • Engineering release experience specifically in hard trim components and/or overhead systems.
