Who We Are

We are looking for an experienced Mechanical Engineer to join our automotive development team. The ideal candidate brings hands-on expertise in HMI mechanical design, plastic injection components, haptic mechanisms, and CATIA-based 3D modelling. Prior experience in similar automotive projects is required and the ablity to step into the role with minimal ramp-up time.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and develop HMI components such as rotaries, knobs, push buttons, sliders, light guides, backlit elements, and decorative parts.
• Ensure ergonomic, tactile, and haptic performance (force curves, click feeling, torque, stiffness).
• Collaborate with electronics and software teams to align mechanical and functional requirements.
• Develop mechanical architecture concepts for modules or sub-systems (housing, carriers, brackets, interfaces).
• Define and validate packaging, tolerances, fastening solutions, and assembly processes.
• Contribute to DFMEA, DVP&R, and validation planning for mechanical parts.
• 3D Modelling & CAD (CATIA)
• Create detailed CAD models, assemblies, and drawings using CATIA V5/V6.
• Maintain design documentation and ensure proper integration with PLM systems.
• Perform tolerance analysis, feasibility checks, and manufacturability reviews (DFM/DFA).
• Work with tactile/haptic elements: springs, detents, friction materials, damping, torque elements.
• Validate mechanical force profiles and optimize tactile feedback.
• Support prototype builds and measurements for haptic validation.
• Design plastic injection–molded components considering tooling constraints, draft angles, ribs, clips, warpage, and material selection.
• Interface with suppliers for tooling feasibility, mold-flow analysis, and sample reviews.
• Support industrialization and pre-series activities.
• Work closely with system engineers, electronics, industrial design, validation, and manufacturing teams.
• Provide technical support during reviews with OEM/Tier-1 customers.
• Participate in design reviews, technical presentations, and alignment meetings.

What You'll Bring Along

• Bachelor's degree in Enginnering, or a related field
• Minimum of 4 to 7 years of experience as a Mechanical Engineer in the automotive industry.
• Strong expertise in HMI mechanical components (rotaries, knobs, light guides, decorative parts)
• Knowledge of mechanical structure & architecture: CATIA (V5/V6)
• Knowledge of haptics, mechanical forces, tactile mechanisms
• Knowledge of Plastic injection molding
• Ability to independently handle engineering tasks from concept to final release.
• Solid understanding of DFM/DFA, tolerance analysis, and mechanical validation.
• Experience with automotive OEM/Tier-1 development processes.
• Knowledge of GD&T, DFMEA, and DVP&R.
