Your future role

Take on a new challenge and apply your expertise in 3D design, digital mock-ups, and domain-specific engineering in a cutting-edge field. You’ll work alongside a highly skilled, innovative, and collaborative team.

You'll play a pivotal role in ensuring the quality, consistency, and compliance of deliverables within your assigned scope. Day-to-day, you’ll work closely with cross-functional teams across the business (such as sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing), manage domain activities, and contribute to continuous improvement initiatives – and much more.

You’ll specifically take care of creating and managing 3D models, digital mock-ups, and design reviews, but also ensure compliance with quality, cost, and delivery (QCD) commitments.

We’ll look to you for:

• Performing 3D design, annotations, and 2D deliverables in compliance with QCD commitments, Metier rules, and processes

• Modelling and storing allocated volumes and interfaces for sub-systems/components in the Digital Mock-Up

• Verifying consistency of the digital mock-up and compliance with requirements (e.g., allocated volumes, weight, interfaces)

• Preparing and documenting Domain Design Reviews and following up on open actions

• Checking the quality of CADs and sub-contractor designs

• Realizing stack-up analysis and creating Bills of Material

• Planning and piloting Electrical/Mechanical Domain activities for assigned zones

• Resolving project issues and ensuring deliverables are aligned with project requirements

• Supporting sourcing, industrialization, and manufacturing teams during the production ramp-up

• Collaborating with MDL for continuous improvement of the domain

• Experience with 3D modelling and drawing creation in an industrial context

• Proficiency in CATIA (or equivalent software)

• Familiarity with 3D management and good depth perception

• Fluency in English

• Rigorous and detail-oriented with strong problem-solving skills
