About The Position

The CAD Designer / Engineer’s key responsibilities include: Creating new CAD models of future products; Analyzing and modifying CAD models that YFSS receives from customers, suppliers, or other internal sources; Creating and modifying DWG files in the proper YFSS- and customer templates, including creating and applying the proper GD&T for the parts and assemblies; Managing CAD data releases in YF PLM; Communicating with internal YFITC and customer interfaces/ departments to transfer data. Critical Skills: Good background in Safety / Restraint Systems including Frontal and side impact airbag modules and Steering Wheel Systems Achieve targets for project cost, quality, design for manufacturing, and completion time as defined by the Lead Engineer. Understand the proper engineering design of plastic, cast Aluminum/ Magnesium, and stamped steel parts to avoid defects such as flow lines, sink marks, stress risers, etc. Understand injection molding, stamping, and casting manufacturing processes, and have the ability to apply that knowledge to proper part design for each specific assembly. Demonstrate the ability to analyze a proposed A-surface for tool-ability and be able to communicate the necessary changes to the YFITC and Customer teams. Demonstrate the ability to create sketches, assembly constraints, and complicated 3D parametric solids and surfaces using the appropriate YFITC and customer 2D/3D standards. Design product constructions (efficient in production and cost) according to specification described in Statement of Work and feasibility with usage of YFITC BBP and BEP. Support preparation of Bill of Material creation in PLM. Create engineering studies of concept, package, layout, and kinematics. Support coordination with customers and suppliers including data transfer. Coordinate, support and mentor of Product Designers in effective CAD utilization. Motivated with positive mindset and proactive creative thinking skills Must have flexible work schedule to support early morning (6am) or late night (9pm) meetings with global team as required. Understanding of tooling design concepts or principles Qualifications: Associates Degree in CAD design OR Bachelor’s degree in Engineering, preferably Mechanical or Aerospace from an ABET-accredited university or international equivalent. 2+ years of experience in product design, preferably within the automotive Tier 1 space. Software experience: Design software: CATIA, NX – expert. PLM software: Teamcenter, Enovia, SAP, AGILE – functional working knowledge. Knowledge of design, product change and automotive standard and procedures (FMVSS, Euro, NOM, ASME, ISO, CR-CN, ETC)
