Design Engineer - ADAS Brackets

Design sensor mounting brackets (e.g., for camera, radar, LiDAR) in CAD, with primary focus on plastic injection molded components.

Own the end-to-end CAD development : from concept, 3D modeling, packaging, to release.

Work closely with cross-functional teams including :

Sensor integration engineers to meet alignment / tolerance specs.

Tooling and manufacturing teams to ensure DFM (Design for Manufacturing).

Packaging and body-in-white (BIW) teams to optimize bracket placement.

Apply DFM / DFS principles for plastic injection molding (draft angles, ribs, bosses, wall thickness, warpage control, etc.).

Integrate supplier input and feedback on mold tooling feasibility.

Collaborate with simulation / NVH teams to support vibration, thermal, and structural performance.

Conduct tolerance stack-up analysis and prepare 2D drawings with GD&T.

Release components via 3DX PLM and maintain BOMs.

Support prototype builds, design validation, and tooling kick-off activities.

Qualifications

Must-Have :

Bachelor's degree in Mechanical Engineering, Automotive Engineering, or related field.

3+ years of experience in automotive CAD design, ideally in sensor packaging or bracket design.

Strong proficiency in CATIA V6

Deep understanding of plastic injection molding design (e.g., draft, undercuts, gating, parting lines).

Experience with ADAS sensors or packaging of precision components.

Knowledge of GD&T (ASME Y14.5) and tolerance stack-up methodology.

Familiarity with vehicle-level integration constraints (thermal, NVH, space, etc.).

Strong communication and collaboration skills across teams and suppliers.

Nice to Have :

Experience with metal bracket design (e.g., die-cast, sheet metal) as a complement to plastics.

Exposure to sensor functional requirements (e.g., camera FoV, radar alignment, thermal constraints).

Basic knowledge of FEA tools or CAE collaboration workflows.

Familiarity with Lucid or EV startup environments and fast-paced development cycles.
