Magna is looking to develop and improve new and existing automotive products, specifically seating systems, by incorporating customer requirements, regulations, and product specifications into the design.
Requirements
- Evidence of the ability to apply academic and other engineering principles in the development of automotive components through the use of engineering tools such as DFMEA, DVP&R, APQP, DFSS Tools, Tolerance Analysis, Manufacturing Feasibility, Root Cause Analysis & Problem Solving, and Statistical Analysis.
- Evidence of the ability to manage components, systems, and projects through program lifecycle with evidence of increasing autonomy.
- Must be able to read, create, and comprehend engineering drawings and specifications.
- Basic competency in CAD and the ability to provide engineering direction to the design personnel.
- Proficient knowledge of word processing, spreadsheet, PowerPoint, and database applications.
Responsibilities
- Generally assigned to increasingly complex components, sub-assemblies and systems. May be responsible for changes based on new requirements, packaging constraints, and/or may contribute to the application of new technology.
- Coordinate the complete development for the designated products including, but not limited to design and release, build and test activities, in accordance with standard operating procedures and the product delivery process.
- Incorporate customer requirements, regulations and product specifications into the design of the designated products, ensuring compliance with operational, cost, timing, safety, reliability, quality, and manufacturing feasibility parameters.
- Analyze products and formulates engineering conclusions by the application of engineering and/or mathematical principles and tools. Applies Quality Function Deployment (QFD), Failure Mode & Effects Analysis (FMEA), Design of Experiments (DOE), Pugh Analysis, Value Analysis/Value Engineering (VA/VE), and Design for Manufacturing/Design for Assembly (DFM/DFA) in the development of the product.
- Write/compile engineering content for the following deliverables: engineering specifications and documentation, including DVP&R’s, 8D’s, GD&T, BOM, prototype control plans, key product characteristics, engineering changes and work orders.
- Consult and collaborate with personnel in various engineering and design activities relative to product development requirements.
- Provide engineering direction and support to design personnel.
Other
- Generally, completes the following duties and responsibilities with the support of senior engineering personnel and/or engineering management.
