Key Responsibilities

Mechanical Design & Packaging

• Design sensor housings, brackets, mounts, and protective features for electromagnetic sensors exposed to environmental stress conditions.
• Create and release 3D CAD models, assemblies, and 2D drawings compliant with OEM and internal standards.
• Perform packaging and integration studies considering the parts in movement
• Perform tolerance stack-ups to ensure sensor performance across manufacturing variation, vehicle assembly, and in-use movement.
• Account for water exposure, thermal expansion, vibration, shock, and corrosion in mechanical designs.
• Design components suitable for high-volume production using injection molding, overmolding, insert molding, stamping, joining or machining.
• Support material selection for plastics, elastomers, and metals.
• Collaborate with magnetic and electrical engineers to translate performance requirements into mechanical constraints.
• Support tooling development, part validation, and supplier technical discussions.
• Incorporate DFM/DFA and cost-optimization initiatives without compromising durability.
• Support design reviews, design changes, and customer issue resolution.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering or related field.

• Proficiency in CATIA v5 or NX.
• Strong understanding of packaging, tolerance analysis, and GD&T.
• Experience with harsh-environment automotive components (wheel area, underbody, or powertrain).
• Experience with electromagnetic, Hall-effect, or inductive sensors.
• Knowledge of sealing concepts, elastomers, and overmolding techniques.
• Familiarity with APQP, DFMEA, PPAP, and OEM design standards.
• Experience working in Tier-1 or Tier-2 automotive supplier organizations.
• Effective cross-discipline communication (mechanical electrical production).
• Ability to balance performance, cost, and durability in high-volume programs.
