  • Drive cross-functional engineering deliverables to achieve performance, quality, craftsmanship, weight, and cost targets for all program gateways.
  • Manage seating system financial and technical metrics, tracking cost status, weight optimization, and supplier sourcing packages.
  • Coordinate with global supply partners to manage tooling, component development, and program delivery schedules.
  • Provide hands-on technical support at prototype, pre-production, and final assembly plants during build phases and vehicle launch.
  • Lead root-cause analysis and structured problem-solving to identify, track, and resolve system-level engineering and manufacturing issues.

  • You'll have...

    • Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
    • Typically 3+ years of experience in automotive product engineering, component design, or systems integration.
    • Demonstrated knowledge of the full vehicle product development lifecycle, including hands-on experience supporting at least one vehicle launch.
    • Strong proficiency in structured problem-solving methodologies (e.g., 8D, Root Cause Analysis) and data-driven decision-making.
    • Proven project management skills, including the ability to create timing plans, track issue resolution, and drive deliverables with cross-functional teams.
    • Excellent written and verbal communication skills with the ability to articulate technical ideas clearly to cross-functional partners and leadership.

    Even better, you may have...

    • Prior experience specifically focused on automotive seat complete design and integration.
    • Hands-on experience supporting supplier assembly facilities and manufacturing plants during early build phases.
    • Familiarity with industry-standard computer-aided design (CAD) concepts, engineering release processes, and issue tracking tools.
