Vehicle Systems Integration Specialist

Roles & Responsibilities : Design 3D models and assemblies in commonly used CAD platforms. Ensure bracket designs and fastening methods withstand automotive vibration, thermal cycling, and harsh operating environments. Generate production-ready 2D design drawings with the relevant dimensions and tolerances. Analyze packaging constraints, clearance limits, and access/ergonomic requirements within various vehicle compartments (e.g., engine bay, cabin, under body, boot space). Apply clear understanding of DFMA and process capabilities (e.g., stamping, bending, CNC machining, laser cutting) to design cost-effective, easy-to-manufacture components. Design, prototype, and release sheet metal, machined, and additive manufactured (3D-printed/rapid prototype) brackets to safely mount sensors and hardware in restricted spaces while adhering to automotive durability and dynamic loads. Translate physical and technical integration requirements for automotive sensors (e.g., pressure, temperature, IMUs, speed, position) and data acquisition (DAQ) measurement hardware into mechanical mounting requirements. Select and apply appropriate fasteners (e.g., rivets, weld nuts, clinching/PEM fasteners, bolts, and clips) and joint techniques suited for specific automotive sheet metal and machined joints. Understand electrical schematics, translate them into harness preparation instructions. Coordinate with local vendors for rapid prototyping (3D printing, sheet metal, machining and plastic parts). Guide technicians integrating components on the car with work instructions and ensure adherence to best practices.

Educational qualification: B.E. / B. Tech. in Mechanical Engg./Automotive Engg. Experience : 5 - 7 years Mandatory/required Skills : Strong foundation in Mechanical Engineering and its application to product design. Knowledge of failure mechanisms and mitigation measures for mechanical components of various metallic and non-metallic (polymer) materials. Expertise in usage of one or more CAD tools (NX, Creo/ProE, CATIA, or SolidWorks) Hands-on experience in mechanical integration of components on vehicles and coordination with other teams for electrical integration on vehicles. Mechanical design and development of sheet metal parts, machined components, and custom mounting solutions tailored for automotive components. Make flat pattern/unfolded views for sheet metal fabrication. Ability to identify and apply dimensions and tolerances from international design standards to standard automotive components such as fastener joints, hydraulic joints and shaft-hole systems. Apply standard cable management and routing concepts for automotive wire harnesses - enforce minimum bend radii, incorporate strain relief, separation from heat sources, sharp sheet metal edges, and moving components. Preferred Skills : Ability to identify basic automotive electrical connections (power and signals) in the car and how to safely tap into the stock car electrical networks. Identify harness routings, verify pinouts and connector interfaces, and conduct electrical continuity checks to ensure proper system wiring during setup and integration testing.
