Position Overview : The Sr. Engineer, Body Structures is responsible for assessing and validating manufacturing assembly processes to ensure body structure design requirements are achieved on the production line. Be the technical lead of all product issue root cause and deviation Containment. Support product launch as the single point of engineering contact for Body structures. Responsible for sustaining engineering after initial product launch. This includes design and release of new parts as required, such as to improve quality or the assembly process. Working with core engineering to ensure parts meet all design and validation requirements. Key Responsibilities : Body Structures assembly ownership Solve complex component/system level problems using standard problem-solving techniques to determine root cause and provide containments. Responsible for assessing and validating manufacturing assembly processes to ensure body structure design requirements are achieved on the production line. Data driven proactive problem solving & issue avoidance due to process deviations or critical part quality issues. Support new product launches, execute part concession deviations for Body structures in the manufacturing plant. Collaboration with manufacturing to ensure efficient process sequence and build quality. Sustaining Engineering Responsible for the design and development of weight efficient automotive BIW Structural parts and assemblies to deliver the highest level of performance in NVH, Durability and Crashworthiness performance into production with experience developing body assemblies  Work closely with other stake owners and attribute owners across the company such as Vehicle Safety, Vehicle Dynamics, NVH, Durability, Manufacturing, Design Studio, etc. to prove design solutions. Cross functionally works with Manufacturing, Design and Product Development as well as with Purchasing, Supplier Quality, Stamping and Suppliers on items such as tool buy-offs and secondary component changes. Coordinate and communicate with interfacing suppliers. Effectively provide direction to others and negotiate a balanced solution. Coordinate virtual engineering and physical validation testing activities for your designs. Travel domestically and internationally as required.
