Lifecycle Management: Manage the full design lifecycle—from concept and BOM management to engineering change (ECN) and release workflows.
Production Liaison: Work closely with the Technical Director and the production teams to optimise designs for sheet metal and platework fabrication.
Innovation: Actively research and implement new technologies and "error-proofing" techniques to improve vehicle performance and manufacturability.
Technical Requirements & Mindset
Fabrication Expertise: A heavy-duty background in sheet metal and platework is essential.
You must understand how metal behaves during the folding, welding, and assembly processes.
Industry Context: Experience within vehicle manufacturingis a significant advantage.
