Lead/Senior CAD Engineer, Body Structures The team may also be asked to lead and/or support innovation projects The Lead/Senior Engineer, Body Structures is responsible for technical delivery to cost, quality&time for tasks and activities assigned to them by their module team line manager Note that any engineer may be asked to work in a non-core module area as project needs dictate. The successful candidate therefore should be able to demonstrate a flexible approach. The Grade 3, PE CAD Engineer for this role will ideally be able to demonstrate relevant engineering experience, gained from working on module area systems design&development, from concept to production. Candidate requirements include: Degree qualified or similar qualification as a minimum. CAD operation skills required – Expectation for engineer to be able to create and manipulate geometry for primary communication of concepts / schemes. (Expectation 90%-time utilisation for geometry generation) Catia v5/ v6 operative skills, to be able to demonstrate high technical competence – Generation of 3D geometry§ional data. (Key module utilisation: Part design&Geometric Surface design) Experience of using TCUA (Team Centre)&PLM preferable Engineering experience in delivery of the designated module systems in the automotive sector or similar industries Evidence of engineering skills, including ability to manage&resolve engineering issues Understands roles&needs of different client groups. Evidence of working effectively with cross-functional teams to achieve results Compliance with company procedures&quality standards Involvement in process improvements Highly motivated with good logical reasoning. Strong numeracy&literacy with good organisational&communication skills English language is essential, a second language would be advantageous Capable of overcoming cultural&inter-functional barriers A desire to strive for improvements to achieve high customer satisfaction Main Activities&Tasks Support the Lead Engineer, Body&Closures in all day-to-day activities Support other activities as required Engineering BoM development.
