Senior Mechanical Design Engineer I

Honda Dev. and Mfg. of Am.,LLC•Raymond, OH

6h•Onsite

About The Position

The Senior Mechanical Design Engineer I independently defines engine-part specifications across development scopes ranging from carryover-part verification to supplier-designed-part management and new design creation. The role balances design inputs by developing and issuing 3D data, 2D drawings, and bills of materials (BOMs). The engineer plans and executes part development, creates and matures designs, issues drawings, establishes BOM applications, verifies change points, estimates and evaluates costs, and coordinates with internal and external stakeholders. The position is onsite; one remote workday per week may be possible with prior departmental approval. This position is not eligible for visa sponsorship.

Responsibilities

Create part development plans based on vehicle development schedules, verification requirements, and lead times.
Conceptualize designs by determining which assigned-part characteristics must change or be verified, clarifying design inputs, and setting appropriate targets for factors such as cost, weight, manufacturability, assembly, serviceability, packaging, appearance, performance, and durability.
Develop rough 3D layout concepts and mature them into fully defined 3D models, accounting for manufacturing, assembly, maintenance, tolerances, dynamic movement, deformation, and surrounding parts; revise designs as needed when failures arise.
Create and issue drawings that define specifications to ensure parts can be manufactured and assembled to satisfy design inputs, and communicate changes through drawing issue specification notices for factory release and future reference.
Set BOM applications by identifying critical vehicle features and ensuring changes to impacted features flag assigned parts for correction.
Identify change impacts and confirmation items related to surrounding-part changes, establish prospects for target achievement, and document and report results in evaluation events.
Estimate costs for new designs based on part specifications and manufacturing processes, assess supplier quotations, and support Honda purchasing in cost negotiations.
Communicate and collaborate with relevant internal and external parties, including group leaders, technical experts, chief engineers, managers, factories, service teams, suppliers, purchasing, test and design engineers, and Japan R&D counterparts.
Create required documentation for assigned parts, report at evaluation events, and follow up on action items by requested deadlines.
