• Support root cause analysis and resolution of brake system issues during development and post-launch.

• Coordinate with purchasing, quality, and manufacturing teams to meet program timelines and cost targets.

• Manage engineering documentation including drawings, specifications, and DFMEA/DVP&R.

Qualifications

• Bachelor’s degree in Mechanical, Automotive, or related engineering field.

• 3–5 years of experience in brake system engineering or related automotive systems.

• Understanding of brake system design principles and performance requirements.

• Experience with CAD tools (e.g., CATIA, NX) for component design and packaging.

• Familiarity with validation and testing methods for brake systems.

• Strong analytical, problem-solving, and project management skills.

• Excellent communication and teamwork skills.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience with ABS, ESC, and regenerative braking systems.

• Knowledge of brake system performance simulation tools.

• Familiarity with ISO and FMVSS brake regulations.
