About The Position

The Engineering Designer develops and deploys Siemens NX and Teamcenter solutions combining engineering design, CAD automation, and digital workflows. The role translates engineering, manufacturing, and data requirements into reliable tools and integration workflows that improve design quality, productivity, data integrity, and downstream usability. The position supports virtual vehicle integration for lower structures and RESS enclosures, including chassis, thermal, electrical, underbody, and adjacent systems. The designer collaborates across design, engineering, manufacturing, suppliers, plant, program, service, and deployment teams, and supports solutions from prototyping and validation through release, enterprise handoff, and issue resolution. This role is categorized as hybrid. The selected candidate is expected to work on-site at the Warren Tech Center at least three days per week, or as otherwise determined by the hiring leader. Relocation assistance is not available.

Requirements

Five or more years of software development experience.
Demonstrated experience with NXOpen, C#, and TcSoa, and experience using Siemens NX, Teamcenter PLM, and external data sources.
Experience developing production-oriented engineering tools, process automation frameworks, and custom NX interfaces with sound input handling and business logic.
Ability to apply engineering constraints, DFM/DFA principles, manufacturing requirements, and downstream system needs to software and workflows.
Experience with version control, code repositories, developer documentation, testing, and implementation quality.
Strong communication, technical writing, documentation, and knowledge-transfer skills; ability to incorporate feedback and iterate with design and manufacturing users.
Two or more years of automotive or mechanical CAD/design experience, or equivalent demonstrated capability.
Proficiency in Siemens NX and robust parametric modeling, including the ability to interpret design criteria, packaging constraints, and subsystem interfaces.
Working knowledge of load paths, joints, reinforcements, stiffness, strength, fatigue, buckling, materials, GD&T, and tolerance management.
Working knowledge of DFM/DFA, including process capability, access, tooling, fixturing, joining, inspection, repairability, and assembly variation.
Ability to translate requirements into design criteria, integration checks, verification expectations, and traceable engineering decisions.
Ability to support clearance, usage, configuration, virtual, and NX Analysis studies, and appropriately interpret results and limitations.
Ability to maintain accurate material, mass, specification, configuration, and math-file data and deliver complete, release-quality work.
Structured problem-solving, proactive cross-functional communication, responsiveness to feedback, and ownership through reviews, release, build, validation, and issue resolution.
Bachelor’s degree in mechanical engineering, engineering technology, or equivalent experience, with demonstrated software-development capability.
