Maintain accurate models, drawings, and product data in 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX).

Hands-on experience with A-surface part modeling and production-intent product definition.
Working knowledge of GD&T, datum schemes, locating strategy, and tolerance stack-up.
Experience applying DFM principles to automotive components.
Proficiency with 3DEXPERIENCE (3DX) and relevant CAD modeling workflows.
Ability to work collaboratively and resolve design feedback in a fast-paced program environment.

Preferred Qualifications

Familiarity with Class-A surface requirements, styling-to-engineering surface transition, and surface quality checks.
Knowledge of injection molding and other relevant trim processes, including draft, wall thickness, ribs, bosses, clips, shutoffs, and undercuts.
Understanding of material selection, shrinkage, warpage, sink, read-through, and appearance considerations.
Experience with digital mock-up, packaging, assembly access, serviceability, and adjacent-part interfaces.
